Because books.

I cannot imagine washing a smelly chicken diaper.

I can't imagine having chickens wandering around the house.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I grew up with chickens and they are cranky, pecky birds. NOT inside animals.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Ah, okay. I need to visit an actual store to see exactly what the venting needs will be for a unit. If I can make that work, cool. Literally. Thanks!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

A line from a book (which has stuck in my mind): The concentrated evil of a hen's face in close up.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Chickens are wretched, nasty, mean, delicious creatures.

What is Nathan holding? Looks like a giant metallic spider.

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

Suicide while sleepwalking is a real nightmare

Melissa Dahl writes: A man jumps out a fifth-story window. A woman marches into oncoming traffic. Another woman loads a gun and shoots herself. All appear to be open-and-shut cases of suicide, but, then again, maybe not. In rare cases, such deaths could be caused by something called parasomnia pseudo-suicide, experts say.

In other words: It’s possible to kill yourself in your sleep.

Recently, the New York Times reported on such a case. On the morning of May 30, a young, promising designer named Tobias Wong was found dead in his New York City home; he’d apparently hanged himself in the night. But Wong had a known history of insomnia and extreme sleepwalking episodes, among them billing clients, cooking a steak dinner or even creating silly outfits for his cats, the paper reported. His sleepwalking condition had apparently worsened with the stress of growing his design business.

Could his death be a tragic result of his sleepwalking?

Compassionately intolerant

Quick hivemind question of a minor technical sort.

I'm setting up Skype for the first time...I know, I know...and am wondering if there is any reason to obfuscate one's identity on same.

--Can your profile be seen by folks other than the ones you call?

--Am I going to want to use it in some anonymous way at any point?
