This really happened.
Overheard in the engineering department
Me: Cool idea! a rubber sleeve to get at it
Him: Okay, but you have to shove it in to twist it
Me: Push harder. Did you get it in?

The Supreme Court of Canada has voted unanimously to strike down a controversial federal procedure used to deport suspected terrorists as being a violation of life, liberty and security of the person.
The security certificate process is hopelessly flawed and must be redrafted by parliament to eliminate the extreme secrecy in which hearings to determine the reasonableness of certificates take place, the court said.

An extraordinary phone call
Last night I did a wide variety of untoward things. I refused to participate in somebody’s addiction by applying my “new moral standards” (aw, go ahead and snicker, I don’t blame you) and it actually worked. My interlocutor quit the behaviour. The phone call transitioned from something stupid into a demonstration of mutual trust and friendship. So instead of feeling lousy and abused this morning, I feel like a human being with some pretty remarkable friends.
