I didn't see the advantage.
Good to know. Thanks!
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

My wife is distressed, we spotted the Sarah Palin book next to a Newsmax magazine, not far from the Glen Beck book. Her parents used to be center-right, but during the 2008 election have shifted right in a big way. Apparently they've decided now that CNN is too liberal and only trust Fox.
Of course, they are probably distressed that my wife is well over on the liberal side and, as my posts have revealed clearly, I'm a far left guy. I've warned my liberal family that politics may not be a good topic of discussion. My in-laws won't argue stuff, but they would probably get uncomfortable and that's not a good holiday feeling.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that sounds like a good call...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yay Shane!
ION, this looks like a fun book: How to Teach Physics to Your Dog: explaining quantum physics through discussions with a German shepherd
Chad Orzel's How to Teach Physics to Your Dog is an absolutely delightful book on many axes: first, its subject matter, quantum physics, is arguably the most mind-bending scientific subject we have; second, the device of the book -- a quantum physicist, Orzel, explains quantum physics to Emmy, his cheeky German shepherd -- is a hoot, and has the singular advantage of making the mind-bending a little less traumatic when the going gets tough (quantum physics has a certain irreducible complexity that precludes an easy understanding of its implications); finally, third, it is extremely well-written, combining a scientist's rigor and accuracy with a natural raconteur's storytelling skill.

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
Has anyone gotten their eyebrows threaded, instead of waxed? How do the two compare?
I've done other parts of my face. I find that threading takes a little longer but irritates my skin much less.

Sounds like a good book. I'm a fan of quantum physics. There's something cool about how the fundamental rules of the Universe totally defy common sense.

Good to know. I have a Groupon that gets me two manicures, two pedicures and two eyebrow waxings or threadings. Since I've never done either, maybe I'll try it both ways.
