So, can someone tell more about the rabid beavers?
I live nowhere near Philly, but for some reason, I am quite concerned about out of control beavers.
Love makes you do the wacky.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I would love to be a Successful Writer and stand up at TED and do a charming talk on Something Important and be the Invited Speaker at someone charity luncheon. That is totally Plan A.
Plan B is being a respected assistant at a world renowned aerospace lab with a couple of books and a few decent essays under her belt while living in a glamorous city in a decent apartment with enough cash on hand to order tasty takeout a couple nights a week.
Plan B is pretty good.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Julia Sweeney tells a very funny story about the day her daughter wanted to learn about how frogs had babies: [link]
That's a riot.

Our wings are not tired.
She told that hilarious tale when I saw the Julia and Jill (Sobule) show at Yoshi's a few years ago. Had us rolling in the aisles.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Speaking of TED, my organization sponsored a TEDx event (an event affiliated with TED, but done locally) yesterday evening. We had speakers on using cell phones to enable distance diagnosis of things like oral cancer, developing prostheses for amputees, the problems with donating medical equipment to developing countries, and so on. And there was a great Senegal-NC combo band playing before and after the speech parts. Loads of fun. I volunteered to usher, which is probably as close to being a TED talk participant as I'll ever get.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
meara, I'd forgotten all about that book. Until now.
And the dolphins - there was a Carl Hiaasen book where, at the end, a bad guy is assaulted by a dolphin and, I believe, drowns in the process.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I didn't know she was pregnant!
