"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

he has "a beautiful brain and a good heart", to which I responded, of course, that it's just like his soon-to-be-father.

I think the Nilly genes for "a beautiful brain and a good heart" would ensure that, regardless of the father. If he gets that from both sides, he can change the world.

David, is your song about pi Lucy Kaplansky's father's song? I love that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Nope, and not Kate Bush's Pi song either. It's my friend Gary's song about Pi, and Avogadro's number and Planck's constant and the speed of light and all of his favorite awesome numbers in physics and mathematics.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh, happy news about Pi baby!

Our wings are not tired.

Congratulations to Nilly & Khusband! What a lucky little boy to have such quality parents.

I skipped thousands of posts to verify that the Press post meant what it looked like. Awesomecakes!

Well done!

We decided to use a random date generator which would pick a weekday on a date between two weeks and a month from the previous Onerous Task Day.

So our next one is coming up next week.

Onerous Task Day: Wednesday, December 8th.

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

It still uses electricity to amplify the sound. And to control the speed of the steam engine.
