Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

PERSONALLY, I think they need a bigger sample size than 215 students. Speaking as a woman who has a Fullmetal Alchemist action figure, a ninja duck, and a DRD on her desk.

IIRC, none of them were comp sci students, so it's biased right off the bat. I don't decorate my desk much--in offices where I'm more out and people are younger I tend to accumulate geeky stuff as gifts. I don't feel like I can decorate here though, as a consultant. But before I've had quite the LotR fest at my desk.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The panels with Kate Mulgrew at DragonCon were full of women who told her that her character inspired them to go into science.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

In case you didn't know, the Chevy Volt, a gamechanger extended range electric car, has its own song and dance.

On the bright side, that painfully ill-conceived dance kept 4 actors employed and well paid for the length of the car show.

ita's FCM choices match mine.

Now tagless for your comfort.

My desk isn't very geeky. I have a Mr. Incredible action figure, some models of old cars, and an F4U Corsair. And a picture of Zabriskie Point in Death Vally.

I have a Juno hamburger phone and a gargoyle hand puppet. Other than that, not very geeky.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I want to work in ChiKat's office.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I love that! Janeway rocked!

I have an assortment of action figures, including Scully and Mulder (Mulder on a leash), Lara Croft, Buffy and Faith sitting Sapphic, a Wall Of Batman, DCU Pez dispensers, and my Princess Leia Bikini doll.

Other than that, it's not too geeky.

Mulgrew was so damn cool. Loved her.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Mulder on a leash

He's not choking himself with the leash, is he?
