Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Awesome! I just found a hundred dollar gift card I thought I'd lost.

Now the hard part. Do I use it towards a screen door or a tattoo? Those are the two things I've been wanting but shying away from spending money on recently.

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

Maybe get a tattoo of a screen door?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Perkins, will you be around tonight? I will be down there.

Mostly. Do you want me to meet you somewhere?

Tino was/is someone who made difficulties for flea. A decision was made to blame everything on Tino since, you know, everything actually is his fault.

X-Post with Tom who, you know, linked you to the actual stuff.

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

Do you want me to meet you somewhere?

I will be aiming to get down there between 6 and 6:30. We could meet somewhere around then, or you could just stop by, whatever works best for you.

I sometimes don't get home until about 6:15. Why don't you shoot me your uncle's address and I'll meet you there?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wrote a new post for cocktail party physics about the ridiculous amount of stupid guys who hit on me via internet dating.

That was brilliant.

This is almost too weird to be true: Blue M&Ms 'mend spinal injuries'

The food dye that gives blue M&Ms their colour can help mend spinal injuries, researchers have claimed after tests on rats.

The compound Brilliant Blue G blocks a chemical that kills healthy spinal cord cells around the damaged area - an event that often causes more irreversible damage than the original injury.

BBG not only reduced the size of the lesion but also improved the recovery of motor skills, the rodent tests showed.
Those treated with BBG were later able to walk, although with a limp. Rats that did not receive the BBG solution never regained the ability to walk.

On the downside, the treatment causes the skin to temporarily turn bright blue and BBG needs to be injected soon after the trauma. The test injections were given within 15 minutes.

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

Thanks, Tom. It all makes sense, now.
