I'm pretty sure anyone in America who's potential/employer is getting the test first signed a waiver allowing it.

I have looked at my brother's FB account. He curses! In front of my parents!

It's their fault for being there!!!!

This is my FB policy. Youdonlikeit? Then githefuckout! Actually, that's not entirely true. Once I friended actual children I started putting Hagar the Horrible characters in my cuss words in statuses. I haven't changed any content though -- if you're going to let your kid go on facebook he may find out Autie Trudy has sex. That's your call, man.

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

Google Chrome won't load the Google Adsense login page. Hmm.

Rain is spoiling the US Open. They expect a 2-3 hour window "later". At which point they may play the rest of Gonzalez/Nadal at the same time as Clisters/Williams, making one quite dizzy.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The shot of Nadal playing foosball was pretty cute, though.

Shockingly, it loads for me.

My FaceBook status updates end up boring because I have to run them through the work-filter and the mom-filter.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just had a genuinely good burger and fries delivered, so that was exciting. Although I must be unamerican, because the 6 oz. burger was a little too big for me.

I didn't say it was often.

Extinct New Zealand eagle may have eaten humans

BANGKOK — Sophisticated computer scans of fossils have helped solve a mystery over the nature of a giant, ancient raptor known as the Haast's eagle which became extinct about 500 years ago, researchers said Friday.

The researchers say they have determined that the eagle – which lived in the mountains of New Zealand and weighed about 40 pounds (18 kilograms) – was a predator and not a mere scavenger as many thought.

Much larger than modern eagles, Haast's eagle would have swooped to prey on flightless birds – and possibly even the rare unlucky human.

Since the Haast's eagle has only been extinct for 500 years, it'd probably be easier to genetically engineer a live one than a live velociraptor. So we'll just have to make do with Haast's eagles for a while....

JILLI! Back in the lab!

I may need to start reading the Advocate again: Apparently, a DOMA-repealing bill is being announced next week.
