Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think the London Olympics mascots are kind of cute

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

Synthetic life has been created. Supposedly a big deal.

Craig Venter creates synthetic life form

Freeman Dyson, commenting on the paper on EDGE, wrote:

I feel sure of only one conclusion. The ability to design and create new forms of life marks a turning-point in the history of our species and our planet.

Yes, that's Dyson of the sphere fame.

I don't think they're ugly. I just think . . . really London? With all that history, you represent your city with a couple of plush cyclopes.

Maybe it's my issue, but they seem very penile to me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Not just you, Sue!

Whoa! I don't even know how to react to that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh my god you guys. I just had a 10 course tasting menu dinner. I was prepared to throw down, but not quite like that. Definitely the best and most expensive meal I've ever had. And they threw in free marrow!

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Wow, new Natter! Sorry, am a bit behind. Haven't clicked on mascot link and not sure should. Have lost pronouns along with brain. Send help. Or mojito.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I think the London Olympics mascots are kind of cute

I really hope the Queen choked a bitch. Er, specifically, someone responsible for these things, and before you say it, I'm fairly sure they're the result of some hungover person who realized 2 minutes before deadline that today was the day the mascot sketches had to be turned in, and doodled something from one of their recent acid trips. It HAS to be.

Yeah. The new artificial life could be considered a new species. Weird.

The big question: Can we generate a new race of super-humans in time to fight off Skynet?
