You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Good luck, Theo!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Good luck, Theo!

I have been up since 2am. This new responsibility stress is getting to me.

Good luck Theo!

I get promos from Newegg from time to time and today this one hit my inbox.

Now, I don't have the dirtiest mind in the world, but I have my doubts about that massager being for "hands".

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Yikes it sounds like that oil leak in the Gulf is much, much worse than originally estimated.

Gulf oil spill 'five times' larger than estimated

The coast guard is now guessing that it's 5,000 barrels a day instead of 1,000. That's about a quarter-million gallons a day.

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

Unexpected Inventions from Unexpected People

Henry David Thoreau, of all people, invented raisin bread when he tossed a handful into the dough he was baking while at Walden Pond. It doesn’t sound like a big deal, but the addition of the shriveled little grapes is said to have just stunned and scandalized the housewives of Concord, Massachusetts, who were used to doing their baking in a very particular manner. I bet their minds would be blown by cinnamon raisin bread.

Is this the same leak that originally was thought not to exist?

Probably. It's a story that's been steadily growing. It sounds like they are going to try to redirect the flow to collect it but it's never been tried at this depth. If that fails it'll be months before they can stop it.
