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.
Do you think it's true? It can't be true.
Wait, what? (I am admittedly a little stoned on painkillers, god damn my gimpy back from hell, so I just kind of clicked, went, hey, dude and nipple, and went on my way. I am now going to re-click. Cover me! I'm going in!)
Did you read the article?
Now is where I shamefacedly say, "There was an article?" I just saw the picture and thought that was all. D'oh.
Amazon’s $23,698,655.93 book about flies.
A few weeks ago a postdoc in my lab logged on to Amazon to buy the lab an extra copy of Peter Lawrence's The Making of a Fly – a classic work in developmental biology that we – and most other Drosophila developmental biologists – consult regularly. The book, published in 1992, is out of print. But Amazon listed 17 copies for sale: 15 used from $35.54, and 2 new from $1,730,045.91 (+$3.99 shipping).
But that's just the beginning. Or, technically, the middle.
Aha. What looks like might be the article is all jammed all the way over on the left side of my browser window, in a space maybe 1/2 inch wide. I blame Safari. Lemme switch browsers.
t edit What the hell? It's all weird in Firefox, too.
It is all weird for me, too, Steph. I am not opening up IE to read the nipple article.
I haven't crossed into or out of Canada since 9/11, but I once got back in with just a pay stub (I was a teenager on a school trip, though).
The hardest was crossing out with a 50 year old man, and 35 year old woman and 25 year old me- all unrelated, 1 a Canadian citizen on a student visa (the 35 year old) and carrying theatrical rental costumes for an opera.
I once got into the US with an expired student ID, the only picture ID I had. Those were the days.
The article was all squished over to the side for me, too (in Chrome). I didn't read I all the way through, but I've heard of the custom before. Which doesn't necessarily add credence, as I can't remember the context.
Who makes that custom up? I'm sure I'm overreacting because I'm a chick, but I get a severe DNW step-back reaction from the whole thing.
My experience is that Canadian border guards have been getting progressively grumpier over the last ten years or so. Or maybe I've been getting more suspicious looking?
Maybe if you engaged in some border-social nipple-sucking?
Um....no thank you.
