I knew about Carol Channing as a kid, because of Free to Be, You and Me! And probably some crappy variety shows, if not Hollywood Squares or something.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I think that's how I was aware of her. That, and possibly the Muppet Show?

well, they have had a lot of criticism and people leaving Google+ in droves so they had to do something.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
She also seemed to appear on random things singing "Hello Dolly" all the time. And I think she might have been on the Muppets.

In the fun facts department...
In case you didn’t already know that IQ is not (at all) set in stone, this is a good article about a recent study: [link] Check out the difference--we aren’t talking a couple of points.
This is very much related to research done for years by researchers such as Carol Dweck about growth mindset. I don’t know about all of you, but learning that IQ isn’t fixed was a revelatory (and humbling) discovery for me when I first read about it. Dweck wrote a great book about fixed versus growth mindset ( [link] ), but this article about how not to talk to kids is a great snapshot: [link]
Can you tell I was in an education class all day today? When I saw that NPR story, it made me want to share again. Sorry if I’ve linked to the Dweck stuff before.

Google+ to allow nyms. Hmm. I wondered if they'd hold out forever.
I admit I'm surprised. They'd dug their heels in so hard it made it look like they would never change their minds.

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
Mom: OH HAI! Your brother and SIL are losing their house and moving in with us. Also, they found some polyps in my uterus so I had surgery last week, but they made an error. There were no polyps so they accidentally cut my cervix, instead. What's going on in California?

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

Oh god, Allyson. That's awful.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I'll need to see more details on exactly how Google+ will "support" pseudonyms before I'm convinced. If support means there's an additional field and my physical name is still exposed to advertisers then it's a no-go for me. If it means they're content with an anonymous profile, then that's better.
