I thoroughly recommend chasing down a Nat Geo series entitled In The Womb. It has one ep where it compares the embryonic development of a penguin, a kangaroo, a shark and a wasp.

Think if they all shared the same womb. That would be an awesome sitcom....

Sorry to hear about he layoff BT, but thrilled that you are so excited about the impending arrival of a small mammal.

It'd be like Herman's Head, only on National Geographic! Or possibly HBO.

for under $20 with shipping.

Also, only 3 hours to cake (and bread! And pizza!). Can't believe I made it this far.

Sigh. About 30 hours for me.

(For people trying to figure out the time zone thing -- Passover is seven days in Israel, eight days everywhere else, because of a weird leftover tradition from the days before instant communication.)

ooh, those are cute Lisa! I wonder if the 8.5 would fit...

Heh. Cashmere sent Matilda a pair of practically those exact same shoes, only the dark brown part is velveteen and the straps have pink sparkles.

I'm hoping the 8.5 fit me! I vary between an 8 & an 8.5 but I don't have any other Kenneth Cole shoes so I dunno.

My other big shoe score recently was getting a pair of road shoes for my bike that are normally about $100 for $13! They were on super sale and then I used a small REI dividend. Of course everything else to do with the bike is spendy (like the $100 pedals to go with the new shoes) so it evens out.

I will have to add sparkles to mine!
