this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

(Also, what do they yell instead of "George Bush!" in "Only For Now" now? Obama??)

I was wondering this, too.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Cory Booker is a Senator now.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Why on earth is approximate time of urination important at all?

PhD candidates have to justify their existence somehow.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Also, what do they yell instead of "George Bush!" in "Only For Now" now? Obama??

I think they change that line up pretty regularly.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

"Ted Cruz" has the same number of syllables...

Standard deviation of 13 seconds means that nearly everyone takes between 8 and 34 seconds, though, right?

If the distribution follows a bell curve, about two thirds of everyone. However, if I'm reading this right, they're saying that the average time for almost every species is 21 seconds. They all tend to cluster around the same point. The standard deviation is within each species, not between the averages for each species.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, off to pee with a stopwatch. BRB.

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

Slayers! (Scooby-Doo/Buffy t-shirt. Which I need.)

Also, The Inconceivables

Oh, this needs to be on Good Stuff.
