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

Shitloads of cute!

Baby Bats Rescued After Being Orphaned By Australian Flood (VIDEO)

130 baby bats orphaned by a flood off the Gold Coast of Australia were saved by the Australian Bat Clinic and Wildlife Trauma Centre in the past weeks.

...

Watch the following video, in which NBC's Nightly News displays photographs of the cute little creatures. After all, Brian Williams points out, "When was the last time you saw baby bats wrapped in tiny blankets?"

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

Heh. That leads me to think about how I use the word "ladies": I call my students ladies and gentlemen, and I will say "a nice lady asked me to..."

When I am sending out emails to my group of girlfriends, I either say "Hey, ladies!" or "Hello, my bitches!"

I guess I use lady/ladies when addressing people, and woman/women when describing something in a more general way, i.e. "it's important for today's women to have blahdeblah."

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Guess what? I weighed myself this morning on my scale that, up until today, wasn't able to show my weight because I was over its limit. Well, I got a number instead of an error message! I'm down to 405 pounds, which is 75 pounds since mid-October.

I'm 25% of the way to my goal weight!!!
