We have a new internal system for all procurements. I am needign to use it for the first time and as far as I can tell, the FAQ and the database of products? ALL IN GERMAN!
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh dear - is it a SAP product? I've had that issue a few times. (Not the entire FAQ, but every now and then there's an error message that somebody forgot to translate.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
They internally built it in German?

I work for a German company. It is not uncommon that guidelines, meeting notes, manuals get sent out to the international branches only in German and then sometimes they get translated.

NCIS: LA went to a Steampunk bar last night. I suspect the writers have seen Steampunk on the Net and haven't done much else.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That was steampunk? I wasn't paying much attention. It just looked generically alternative.

This is hysterical. [link] One of the whacked out Left Behind groups is distributing copies of The Origin of Species (several key chapters redacted) along with an intro explaining how wrong it all is. Or something. It's all supposed to be a big poke in the eye to athiests, and a clever end-run around Berkeley's non-existant ban on any and aall religious expression or thought on campus. Somebody needs to go to Berkeley and get me a copy.
On the intro:
As for Comfort's introduction, it says very little about "The Origin of Species" per se, limiting itself to familiar creationist canards about the complexity of the human eye and the absence of "transitional forms" from the fossil record. (It's hard to lend much credence to the scientific arguments of a guy who thinks chimpanzees are monkeys.) There's a brief biographical section on Darwin's life, most of which has been plagiarized from a short text by Dr. Stan Guffey, as some bloggers have demonstrated. The rest has been plagiarized from Brian Regal's introduction to the Barnes and Noble edition of "The Autobiography of Charles Darwin," except for a timeline, which was plagiarized from an online resource.
Oh Kirk Cameron, when did you get so craxy? Don't ever change.

I had a copy turned in to Lost and Found at my work on Wednesday night, so they were handing them out in GA, too.

Always Anti-fascist!
Somebody on one of the campuses SMACKED him down, too. It was awesome. It was on TMZ, if you want to see it. Kirk can't blame God or natural selection for the new asshole he just got.
