Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Nope. Although I do love you and your hair.

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

Huh. I am a freak, as I do this too: Can you see time?

"I thought everyone thought like I did, says Holly Branigan, also a scientist at Edinburgh University, and someone with time-space synaesthesia.

"I found out when I attended a talk in the department that Julia was giving. She said that some synaesthetes can see time. And I thought, ‘Oh my god, that means I’ve got synaesthesia’."

So what exactly does she see?

"For me it’s a bit like a running track," she says.

"The track is organised around the academic year. The short ends are the summer and Christmas holidays – the summer holiday is slightly longer.

"It’s as if I’m in the centre and I’m turning around slowly as the year goes by. If I think ahead to the future, my perspective will shift."

Me two. Although I picture the year differently - for me, Nov. and Dec. are at the lowest part of the track. When a new year begins, I have the sensation of rotating to a new point of view as I see the year from a January perspective.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Was he drunk when he posted that?

Probably, but all his posts sound like that. He's just trying to be a doper person.

Best of luck with the book, Allyson, and congrats on getting it done.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hee. Thanks. I feel like I've accomplished something.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I hope it's soon announced that Kanye is entering rehab

I can't think of any other explanation. I mean, if he'd said it after the ceremony, he'd at least be following a long tradition of either sore loserhood or coming to the defense of your friends or both, depending on whether you think it's a good idea to say such things. But jumping on stage during the winner's acceptance speech? Not even if Mrs. Miller had won a Grammy.

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

There's asshole rehab?

Actually, someone could make a MINT if they founded an asshole rehab.
