The shot of Nadal playing foosball was pretty cute, though.
Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.
'Safe'
Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

Shockingly, it loads for me.

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.

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
I know I'm shocked.
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....

There must have been something in the air, since I had a terrible night's sleep. But I am off today, so I can't complain.
I just got back from getting my hair cut and coloured. Great, but terrible tip anxiety. I bought product and then couldn't do the math...I think I undertipped.

billytea's closer to the source. Plus it's right up his alley.
However, he might try to crossbreed something else into it. Echidna, perhaps?
