Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is terrifying. Yikes.

Unemployment in MA apparently went down last month, but I always wonder if that's because of people leaving the work force, not getting jobs.

I'm trying to remember the percentage you're supposed to add to figure actual unemployment. Drawing a blank. Hey, it was almost 20 years ago I learned it.

That map is amazing..... darker and darker.

Did anyone else hear about the people being killed for body fat for cosmetics in Peru? [link] I'm sure if you wanted body fat, there must be an easier way to find it.

Saw that, Kat. Freakish.

I would not believe that if it weren't a BBC story. I imagine plastic surgeons can't do anything with the waste from lipo?

Because books.

See Fight Club.

Or what Jesse said.

Fight Club (I just typed in Fight Blub) is exactly what I thought of.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think people are a little suspicious of that story, partly because human fat is not that great of a moisturizer. If it really could draw that kind of price per ounce, wouldn't people be paying you to have lipo? Why would it be particularly better than animal fat, for that matter?

It doesn't have to really be better for people to believe it's better.

Man, I would be all over that. I haven't had a medical procedure for money in years!
