I always went the screwdriver route. I have no patience for non-practical-application puzzles. Which is really funny because one of the things I love about my job is troubleshooting. It's just a puzzle!

A great picture, with the title "Summer Bliss."

And copping a feel of the green bitch.

Less sex, more TV aired in India:

On World Population Day this year India's new health and welfare minister came out with an idea on how to tackle the population issue: Bring electricity to every Indian village so that people would watch television until late at night and therefore be too tired to make babies.

Of course, the best bit is at the end:

One such survey done in 2006 by an Italian sexologist reveals couples with televisions in their bedrooms had sex half as much as those without it.

That being said Omar Mohammed, the man with 24 children had a different take.

"After watching TV," he says, "when we look at scintillating things we will probably want to make more children."

P.S. Sara Sidner, have a couple commas, free of charge. ,,

I have just caught up on the last couple of days of Natter, and see I have missed a discussion of the insanity that is health care in this country. Interesting because I am discussing it right now on Facebook with a few people, aqnd I find that, because of what I went through with S, I can barely speak rationally on the subject.

Anybody who is against health care reform in this country needs to report to me so I can stab them with a rusty pen.

Sean, I can only imagine. I was reading the op ed by the libertarian asshat who owns Whole Foods and spitting nails.

I bought donut peaches at the farmers market yesterday. Yum. Farmers markets are splendid.

Also, someone just told me that Disney is now putting their stars' pictures on bags of fruit (Nickelodeon has been putting their characters on baby carrots and edamame and a few other things for a while now), and that someone had the brilliant idea to put Hannah Montana's picture on bags of cherries. Google confirms this. Seriously, when picking which character to put on which kind of fruit, did nobody think "Don't put teenage girls on fruits that would lead to obvious sexual jokes"?

I had been thinking about shopping at Whole Foods occasionally, but after that piece, I will not shop there as long as that man, or anybody like him, is in charge there.

Is that the same guy who got in a bit of trouble about a year ago for creating sock puppets to go online and talk up Whole Foods stock?

I think so.
