If your attacker is a delicious, juicy watermelon, then this fighting umbrella might come in handy.

Also handy for crossing the space between chairs in instances where the floor might, for instance, be lava.

Just a few random notes. I don’t read much of John Cole’s web-site any more. Lately, there hasn’t been much there that hasn’t already been said on Daily Kos. But I was glad to see him counter the idea that we should go after McCain for his crony’s big payments to terrorists. [...]

Hopefully, this week, I’ll have time to post another in the Universal Common Descent series, and I just wanted to say a word or two about the importance of it.

Lenski and his colleagues are now working to identify just what that earlier change was, and how it made the Cit+ mutation possible more than 10,000 generations later.

The real story here is a self-described atheist couple behaving very unethically. But what I found remarkable was the quote at the end:
He added that a special ceremony would be held to purify the confession box.
What kind of ceremony gets up that kind of stuff, anyway? If it’s my confession booth, I’m going [...]

see more politics and fun!
