this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Tep, have you ever tried mixing tomato juice in with the dog food? It took a while for Bailey but he did stop eating poo after a couple of weeks.

What does the tomato juice do -- does it make their poo taste bad?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just take Lactaid with my morning bagel & cream cheese and go on my merry normal-mammalian-genome way.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Interesting article about tea partiers -- a lot of them have so much time to devote to protests because they're unemployed, and a whole bunch of those blame their unemployment on not enough government regulation. [link]

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

No other mammal drinks milk past infancy or drinks the milk of another species.

This factoid (which tends to be employed as some sort of zinger or "ah hah!") always sort of irritates me. Shall I give you a list of things that we do that no other mammal does? Even if it was just a matter of how we eat I could type that list all day.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am like the opposite of you all. I use half anf half instead of milk. I hate skim milk in my coffee, and only use milk in cooking, not on cereal, so I just buy a quart of half and half and go on my merry way. My cream sauces are very good!

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

Nicole, I couldn't because they close at noon and I did'n't wake up until almost 11:30. I have already told my boss I am coming in late in Tuesday though, since that is when I will do stuff I couldn't today.

You have me curious now though.

Yes, please do. I find evolutionary biology fascinating.

Skim milk in coffee is a crime. It makes this awful grey color. It does nothing flavor-wise.

If you're drinking a ton of coffee the fat could be a factor, but if you're drinking one or two cups a day just make it taste good, foo. Same with sugar - unless you've got a specific blood-sugar or mass-consumption situation going on, toss in those thirty-two calories of sucrose goodness.

I've always wondered. Why is honey awesome in tea but hellacious in coffee?

Yes, please do. I find evolutionary biology fascinating.

We cook food? We grind it up and mix it with other foods and make complex foods? We ferment it. We (and squirrles and a few other little rodents) store it. We refrigerate it. We grow it. Little things like that, surely you can come up with some others.

Why pick just one, "Ah hah! No other mammals are eating MILK past infancy or the milk of another species. THAT is soooooooo UNNATURAL!!!!!"
