That bathing suit is awesome! You should totally get it, Kat!

And very cool evening, Scrappy!

I went and worked out (every day but two for the last week and a half!) after band-aiding my blister...but now I have three MORE blisters. Ow. Ow. Ow. Also kinda puts the kibosh on my plan for a pedicure tomorrow.

I did give myself a new manicure and it's pretty (OPI Manicurist of Seville), but I'm worried I'll have the same messed-up-with-sheet-marks if I go to bed now. Post, people!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

New Scientist posits that sounds have meanings divorced from language and across cultures. Test yourself!

I'm pretty sure the fact that the questions are only in English makes this quiz bullshit. (I know I know, online quizzes are not science, but you can't say "divorced from language and culture" and then proceed to demonstrate this using ONE language!)

IOscienceN, did we know that parasitic worms may be able to cure MS? On the one hand, ewwwwwww:

Every two weeks over the course of three months, the patients in the study drank 2,500 of the eggs mixed into a sports drink. The eggs hatched in the patient's intestines and were killed by the immune system after about a week.

But on the other hand, yay!

"What makes us optimistic is that brain lesions in four out of the five patients decreased over the course of the study and then rebounded—or rose—again after it finished," says Dr. Fleming.

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

Möbius Cake

Windell Oskay made this 8-pound cake with a 3D printer called a CandyFab 4000

Now tagless for your comfort.

A teammate of mine named her van "Vangina" because she carries all of her kids in it.

Scrappy, that is amazingly cool.

We were sans power for about 16 hours last night and most of yesterday. Highs hit 98 degrees F. Seriously uncool. Had to ditch some stuff in the fridge as it got too warm. The freezer was mostly empty so I didn't lose anything there.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Möbius Cake

There is nothing about that cake that I don't like.

ION, CNN states the frigging obvious: [link] What amuses me is that Galactica has been off the air for 2 years and they're just now acting like this is some goddamn previously unknown aspect of the show.

Syfy (then called the Sci-Fi Channel)

Yep, still annoyed by this.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

There is nothing about that cake that I don't like.

But what about its geographic location? HOW IS THIS RIGHT??

I had mud cake tonight. It was a good day.
