You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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

the entire US is a battlefield in the War on Terra Terror.

Love is a battlefield.

There's a new version of the periodic table of the elements that's gaining popularity: [link]

It's pretty. I want a poster of it.

As Oliver Sacks has written, the periodic table reflects "a deep order in nature [and] the transcendent power of the human mind … to discover or decipher the deepest secrets of nature, to read the mind of God."

Panda baby boom(let)! [link]

WASHINGTON - Zookeepers in Atlanta and San Diego are hopeful their giant pandas are pregnant, which would create a record U.S. baby boomlet of the rare species that began this month with the birth of a cub at the National Zoo.

The possibility of three U.S.-born cubs in the same year reflects the coming of age of the giant pandas on loan from China in the past several years as well as a burst of scientific knowledge on producing and caring for their offspring. Artificial insemination techniques are more precise; pregnancy tests are more accurate; and the odds of a fragile newborn surviving are improving dramatically.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Do you still have to mark Air Mail on international mail? Does anything still go by boat?

Also, is there a French equivalent of Ms.? Or is it just Mme/Mlle?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Do Gale Harold and Nathon Fillion resemble each other in a weird way? I am attracted to Gale Harold (or rather Brian Kinney), but not so much to Mal, but in my head they look so similar!

Sophia, I never noticied it, but I have a friend who pinged it as soon as she started watching Firefly.

Art Crawl!!!

Even though I am very kind and have lived with both of my cats for most of their lives -- they STILL would never let me put anything on them while they slept.

They would wake up.
