You look skeeeeerrry and fierce. Swears.
The StuntHusband laughed at that. Somehow, I don't believe you.
You're like my fairy godmother, and Santa Claus, and Q all wrapped up into one! Q from Bond, not Star Trek.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Now up to the Chisellers. The beaver hole investigation is fascinating as ever. He's onto the mole rats now. One of the benefits of being back at uni is that I can access the databases of academic papers, and it's not limited to my field of study. Here are some fun facts I've picked up from searching for papers on naked mole rats:
- Naked mole rats have two genes that act to inhibit cell growth. Humans only have one. The result: naked mole rats never get cancer.
- Naked mole rats are the longest-lived rodents in the world, living up to 28 years or so. Their life in colonies underground is particularly well-protected - they barely need to make contact with the above-ground world at all.
- A naked mole rat's somatosensory cortex (the part of the brain devoted to its senses), devotes nearly a third of its capacity to its front teeth alone.
- They do not feel pain from acid or from capsaicin.
A world of awesome right there, my friends.

Naked Mole Rat Man would make an excellent Batman villain.

Gnomes, mole rats, boobs, and clones. Good morning!

I think a Spiderman villain myself. He seems to attract more animal-themed baddies.
Of course, this villain should be a woman. It's the females that get all the cool pheromone-based powers. Oh! And apparently the act of giving birth sets off changes in the body that causes her vertebrae to lengthen. That's got to come in handy somehow.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
And nail polish! Speaking of which, Smonster, you haven't moved recently, have you?

I moved about two years ago. And perhaps I should put pedicure on my to do list for today, the toes are looking sad.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
What the hell was she thinking? Then she said that was okay, because the reality show her friend got into -- boys who love boys and girls who love them -- was an epic clusterfuck. Really? Couldn't see that coming?
I understand wanting to be on a reality show like Hammer Heads--help with the front yard, for one thing. But I do NOT understand why anyone would want to be on a reality show that just wants to show people behaving like assholes and idiots. Likewise, if you've been cheating on your spouse, DO NOT agree to appear on Maury Povich, period.
In mememe news, I have achieved coffee this morning. Things are looking up.
