How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Abstaining Blue Footed Boobies Get Sexier
Now this is a new angle on abstinence, at least, in the kingdom. Male blue-footed boobies who abstain from sex for a year develop a brighter, more attractive shade of blue in their feet.
From our friends at National Geographic:
A new study shows that while attractiveness of the blue feet diminishes with age in males that reproduce each year, if males skip a breeding season and dont mate, they displayed a more attractive foot color and had more green chroma....
They concluded that its likely the sabbaticals from reproducing offspring may allow the male boobies to physically recover and display brighter feet in their quest in finding a mate.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It's the car show here in town and we are having a half dozen auto journalists over to dinner. We are ordering in barbeque, so I don't have to cook, but I am grumpily not looking forward to strangers invading my home, even though all auto journalists I have met tend to be entertaining and good sorts of people.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
On the plus side: BBQ!

I'm gonna have to go with BBQ in this instance. You can have all my auto journalists, though.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Tonight, federal and Illinois officials will begin poisoning a section of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal in the hope of killing the invasive carp that may have moved north of an electric barrier designed to keep them out of Lake Michigan.
I thought they'd found Asian carp DNA on the electric barrier and that none of the fish had been seen beyond it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
