Gotta love the Germans: circumcision declared child abuse/harm to child. There’s a fine line between narcissism and self esteem. What facebook is good for. Don’t even get my brother started on dark matter/energy. Now that mOm is watching SG1….. Yes, wish I had some. Fire up some way cool google search techniques.

Soup lunch went okay, but the really exciting news was the very tasty guitar stylings Paul threw on top of the new choon. Zero-G (The Bed) I’ve invented a bed, though no patent’s been applied for and it’s the kind of bed (hint hint) … that is to die for If there’s one thing that [...]

The thing about higher chordates is how we can look similar. Jesus! Potentially toxic extremophile fungus in the dishwasher? Playing with our food. Not finding any food at all. I keep finding reasons to want to go to Chicago. I didn’t much like the article, but I enjoyed the illustration of proto writing. Jesus! That’s [...]

And moonlight was falling on my hand. I got up and stood on the back deck and looked at the moon for a while. I remembered seeing the Hammer Codex of Leonardo da Vinci in Montreal almost a quarter century, being enraptured to see his handwriting with the translation. He spoke of how the wind [...]

Religious persecution quiz, scanged from a facebook/filking buddy. Who himself was reposting it. Statins have much worse potential side effects than was previously believed. Wretched excess meets explosive cuteness. I’m not posting a link, but one of the church women posted a youtube link to her toddler doing the Hokey Pokey with her, and I [...]

I must admit some of these pics raised a smile. A year at Kew from a fabulous nature photographer (thanks Chipper). Yet more kitty pics. Stay tuned for the new Enceladus fly-by pics on Saturday … that’s when the raw pics will be in. Can’t wait! 30 metre resolution of the jets on Enceladus!!!

But if we didn’t have the space program, we wouldn’t have velcro for bondage gear. Or telemetry for hospital monitors. Or an image of the planet taken from the moon. What’s with the and/or? It isn’t science that rapes women or starves children, it’s people. Science is merely a set of concepts in the human [...]

Really thought provoking article about the ‘institution’ of marriage by a gay writer in Seattle. An 8 minute video about Medicare. For Americans, by Canadians. Rational, good tempered and funny in spots. Adolf Hitler doesn’t like Avatar. The last line slew me. Three minutes or so long. How come and for why hasn’t this extra [...]

Okay, now that I’ve cognitively set you up for this request, look what came through my inbox just now…. Loki, I know you never sign petitions but this is a MUST. Hello from two CICLOPS Alliance members and fellow fans of Cassini! For those of you who may have missed the big news, CICLOPS imaging [...]
