Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I ate my lunch, it was not enough.

I have asked for a personal day tomorrow. I want to spend a day alone.

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

Thanks for trying! We're making educated guesses over here and wondering why one of them is reported as a percent when they should both be reported in seconds.

See, this is why I ask all my difficult and random questions here. Someone always knows.

I was mildly skeptical someone would be able to help but not surprised when I was proved wrong.

TQ is time it takes for blood to coagulate and can be used to determine if coagulant medication is working. Nothing yet on IQ.

Oh, good, that's in the right direction, but both PT and PTT measure different clotting factors, so we're trying to figure out which is which.

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS

Colleague says TQ is the same as prothrombin time. Still nothing on IQ.

AWESOME! Thanks, Polgara! IQ ought to be PTT, but PTT shouldn't be in percent, so that's weird.

No prob. I know I don't post much, but I'm almost always lurking in Natter. Glad I could help this time. :-)

I feel like LoTR has the advantage of old-school crazies who speak Sindarin (not that there's anything wrong with that)

Ha! That would be the StuntHusband, bless his geeky heart.

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

Faucet porn!

Touch-sensitive faucet practically begs you to fondle it

Who knew faucets could be so sexy? This curvaceous design has colorful dots on top, each one corresponding to a certain temperature. Tempdots is touch controlled — touch the temperature you want and the water begins to flow. Touch it again, and the water stops.

I wonder if Twilight won simply from being the "uncool" fandom among fans in other fandoms. I don't know much about the Twilight fandom, or some of the others for that matter.

I think this is totally a sexist thing. All of the other fandoms have a better gender balance, but Twilight is predominantly t(w)een girls ("screaming as if at the gates of hell" to quote RPattz) and their creepy moms.

I think twilight should win because of the sparkle!dildo alone.

I have asked for a personal day tomorrow. I want to spend a day alone.

That sounds like a brilliant idea! I think I'll do the same for Friday. Since I always have a morning task to do, I usually just take 1/2 days in the afternoons, but a full day off would be glorious.
