It looks amazing. Also, seahorses.
That can appear daunting; I'm appreciative, however.
Given my happy obsession with the subject, I have no issue with this. At best, I know what he's talking about. At EVEN BETTER, I go learn something new.
Is it because of you that I have (and clearly forgot about until I just opened a different book reader) Breakthrough!: How the 10 Greatest Discoveries in Medicine Saved Millions and Changed Our View of the World by Jon Queijo? Because this looks pretty interesting too.

If it is, then it would be through a tortuous route. I've not heard of this book before, though I approve of the topic. I've put it on my wishlist.

Could be physicist uncle. I know vaccination is one of the breakthroughs discussed and we were talking about that a while back. Or who knows. People mention interesting books and I often check them out. Or Powell's. Mmm, Powell's.

I am through the intro and part of the first chapter(Hippocrates), it's interesting. Written so far for the layperson but not condescending.
So, I'm watching TV while I have workmen in the house. If I'm not at work at this time, I'm usually asleep. I have discovered that my TV gets Al Jazeera. It's very interesting. I sort of learned how to make a gas mask out of a 2 liter bottle and an aluminum can.
I love the aquarium pictures! I want to go!
Billytea, aren't there penguins native to Australia? Or am I terribly confused.
Aha! - security cameras may have filmed the Picasso thief - with the piece under his arm!!
Thank you, Cass and billytea, I just bought both those books. (Now let's see how long it takes me to get around to reading them.)
Also, Weedy Dragons! SO cool. Seahorse!
I'm dicking around this morning, because I have to go to an event at the Common in a little bit, but I was just doing errands, and it's so fucking hot and muggy out! I was planning to walk to the thing, but I think I have to take the T, which feels like a total cop-out, but ugh. At least I did a little walking already this morning.
Man, I hate hot and muggy.
It's been hot and muggy here for days but we've finally got a break in the weather.

There certainly are, the little penguins. There's a colony on Phillip Island, a couple of hours' drive from where we live, and one of my favourite holiday destinations.
