I have very little desk-space to personalize, so the only non-work-related items on there are a BSG plastic "ice" cube, a Cyberman, and a picture of Dylan.

Newsflash! Some airborne particles pose more dangers than others.
In other breaking news, drinking poison poses more dangers than drinking water, and Scientific American needs a new headline writer.

Glam, I love your flair wall! I have a black button that says "this is my piece of flair." But I also have lots of buttons at home that are languishing for lack of a good display venue.
Random note for fellow webinar participant: the verb is "adhere:" "adhesive" is a noun.

And cigarettes are bad for you.

Plane passenger accidentally activates ejector seat
The novice flier instantly shot through the jet's perspex canopy and was blasted 100 metres into the sky by the rocket-powered emergency chair.
Experts said the man was lucky to escape unharmed following the bizarre incident, which happened on Wednesday in South Africa.
It is thought he activated the ejector seat after lurching forward during an aerobatic manoeuvre and accidentally pulling on the black and yellow emergency handle between his legs.
The lever is fitted as standard in the Pilatus PC-7 Mk II jets to allow pilots and their passengers to eject from the aircraft in the event of an emergency.
As soon as it was activated, the ejection sequence activated two rockets attached to the back of his chair.
The man, who has not been named, later floated back down to Earth on a parachute which opened automatically.
South African Airforce bosses scrambled a helicopter to pick up the passenger after the blunder near Langebaanweg airfield, 80 miles north of Cape Town.
The incident happened shortly after he took off for a joyride with an experienced pilot from South Africa's Silver Falcons air display team.

Alicia Keys mentioned that she had been on the Cosby Show when she was four. Someone over at TWOP linked to the clip--it was the leg-riding ep! I had no clue that little kid was Alicia Keys!
If I still read Salon I'm sure I'd find that clip linked to with a breathless declaration of, "Bill Cosby smacks Alicia Keys on Bottom!!!!" and 400 nasty letters.
