Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

As part of their Real Pirates exhibition, the Field Museum is pulling out the stops for International Talk Like a Pirate Day (September 19) with pirate re-enactors, sword fights, treasure hunts, and more. Can I hear an ahrrrrr?

I'm stealing that P-C.

Toothpaste for Dinner is quite amusing.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I have been told by people that I know that they would rather walk 10 miles home than ever take a bus. And that person lives on a bus route and complains about parking constantly.
Small cities have a public transportation catch 22-- people who have choice won't ride the bus unless is comes more often and goes more places, but they can't afford to expand without more people riding the bus.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Step-dad was able to expand to night service for some routes not too long ago in a smallish city. Took ages to get the funding though from what I remember.
I think his busses are going green this year too.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Our town of 24,000 supports a bus line. It's well used and effective to get around. DH has used it but I haven't yet. We're a bicycle/scooter heavy town, too. Which is surprising in the winter.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bloodbot draws blood from the brave
If you hate needles when you need to have blood drawn by a doctor, something tells me that having a robot man the needle instead isn't going to rid you of your phobia. Instead, it might just add a fear of robots on top of it.
But that's just what might happens, thanks to the creation of the Bloodbot. It uses a needle and a probe to find a vein, although its accuracy rate is a mere 78%. And who knows what it does when it's inaccurate. Does it miss by a millimeter, or does it tear your forearm off? For our sakes, I hope it's the former.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

PDX has brilliant public transport but I live on the edge of snooty and the nearest bus stop is really nowhere near me. It's sad, I should be much more of a public transport than I am. The train that goes to the airport is brilliant though.
