Best thing ever!
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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

What, protein kinase-C isn't a novel protein. We've known about that protein for a while! Didn't know PKC was involved in Parkinson's, though.

I was very confused. Like, do you guys understand what a novel protein is? It's PKC, for crying out loud.
Although the Wikipedia entry divides the isozymes into conventional, novel, and atypical...however that works. So it could be a "novel" isozyme. Or maybe even a novel isozyme.

This LED lamp is powered by your phone line
Sick of high electricity bills? Well, you know that the phone company is sending a bit of energy through their lines to power phones, right? Why not use that to your own sneaky advantage?
This LED lamp plugs in not to an electrical outlet, but to a phone jack. It then uses that power to light up, giving you a light you can feel guilt-free about leaving on all day. Your phone company might not love it, but whatever. They're the phone company.

Is it a parade for the Yankees? If so, aren't New Yorkers used to them winning the Series by now? I would think it would be so old hat that a parade would be silly.
(Most of that comment was sarcasm, but not all.)
However, as a resident of a city where we don't do parades like that (no, not even when the Reds swept back in 1990), I have to admit that your pictures are really charming to me. It just seems like a cool thing to do (a ticker-tape parade), in a general sense.
