You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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

The best way from laguardia to anywhere is taxi, unfortunately.

Yay for the corporate AmEx then. We're spoiled in Chicago.

The other two airports have good rail links, but LaGuardia still sucks.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Take that, giant squid!

Fifty-seven years ago, Nobel laureates Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley came up with a model to calculate the power behind electrochemical currents in neurons--a great step forward in understanding how the brain worked and how it divvied up resources. The only problem was that their subject was not a person, or even a rodent, but a giant squid. Today, researchers announced that they have found a more accurate model for mammal brains, which elevates some of their transactions to three times more efficient than that of the squid-based equations.

A long time ago I posted a link to this insane yappy dog and its bizarre yapping attack. Well apparently this has been a popular video to remix. So I present: Dog Malfunction - Jazz Version

I just woke up. Good morning east coast and good night meara.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

In a little bit we are heading for the Takoma Park Folk Festival.

Happy Belated Birthday, P-C!

I somehow managed to sleep over 10 hours last night. So, this alert sensation is what Morning People normally feel at the start of the day?
