'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Thanks!
So my fingers are just playing tricks with me when they insist on putting "s" in the ends of each "epidemic"s I try to write, silly little things.
Then again, they prefer the word "teh" above all else, maybe with the one exception of typing "is" instead of "in" and all sorts of other no-spell-checker-in-the-verse-can-stop-me fun and games. so who knows that's on their minds.
t Waving with or without superstitions - as they prefer it - to MM and Laura
I woke up to the smell of fire. .. or maybe the smell of something that has burned? I wonder if I could have slept through a housefire somewhere on my street.
Disturbing.
In re superstitions - if you can't find a piece of wood to knock on, your head is an acceptable substitute.
Animals that begin with "n"?
Of course Dana thought of a nutria!
8:30 am meeting on a Friday? DO. NOT. WANT.
sumi, I hope everything it's OK, and it's just a neighbor not paying attention to their breakfast or something.

Does the "knock on wood" superstition have anything to do with Christianity and the wood Jesus' cross was made of? Some people here say that it does, and therefore there are some religious people who try not to knock-on-wood, because of the religious connotations.

Um, will it at least be over early?
It will be over at 9, which is (un?)fortunate, because I have a 9-10am meeting after that.
Good heavens I'm looking forward to Happy Hour already.

Did anyone say "norwhal" yet?
I read somewhere, sometime, that the "knock on wood" was something to do with alerting or placating the spirits that live in wood ... so pagan, pre-Christrian.
So, I was just sitting in my chair, leaning back, when the chair just continued to lean further and further back. Sorta' like I was falling backwards, but a little slower than falling. It leaned all the way back (more than 90 degrees) until the headrest hit the floor.
Diagnosis: Metal fatigue led to the metal that holds the chair up to tear away, allowing the remaining metal to fold over....

Thanks! That's interesting.
tom, so you didn't fall down or anything, right?

You deserve an extra-special-fun weekend.

Nilly. What? I'm neither a vegetable nor a mineral.
