Speaking of mammoths, there's a hypothesis out there that manatees are not related to seals or walruses, but evolved from Caribbean mammoths during the last few Ice Ages.

this is fairly well established, at both the morphological and molecular level. (They're not closely related to seals, which are members of the order Carnivora; sea cows have been herbivorous since they first evolved, and don't share much with Carnivora beyond the obvious mammalian overlap.) If you're planning on crossing a mammoth with one, why not the Steller's sea cow for the complete extinctathon?

The other (fairly) close relative of elephants (and sea cows) is the hyrax. [link] I... would not recommend trying to impregnate one with a mammoth baby.

That library one got bookmarked.

No one's ever going to do a "Hey, girl, if you're finished flashing that Cyanogen Mod on your new phone, maybe we could cuddle a little and talk about app loaders?"

NEVER

BASTARDS.

However, I snapped and ordered in for lunch because I was too busy (I promise I'll cook dinner), and ended up with shrimp stuffed with crabmeat and wrapped in bacon.

So, wait, why am I making dinner again?

No one's ever going to do a "Hey, girl, if you're finished flashing that Cyanogen Mod on your new phone, maybe we could cuddle a little and talk about app loaders?"

I expect you could.

I expect you could.

Because my track record with tumblrs (I have, what 5?) and producing content on a schedule is *so* tried and tested.

Allyson, Terriers is on Netflix Streaming RIGHT NOW.

I am so stoked about the Netflix thing. I've been unable to transcribe the interview I did with Shawn Ryan due to the BOOK PROPOSAL HELL.

We're scheming for Paley fest's Brilliant But Canceled, which seems to be a good start for DVDs.

I do not understand the hey girl thing.

Thanks for linking to potential models.

David, I don't think any of those are her, although Jeny Howarth did some of my favorite Krizia ads of the same time period.

Sue, that may be her, but I am not 100%. she was more white haired than that, but the style is right.

I can never remember. Do the Koch brothers own Charmin or Cottonelle?

Actually, I'm pretty sure they own Quilted Northern and Angel Soft. I hate the Charmin ads, but the product itself is pretty decent and it's owned by P&G, so you get the double goodness whammy of depriving the Koches of your money plus annoying the tiny handful of idiots who still think P&G is a Satanic company because of their old moon-and-stars logo. The cartoon bears make me want to scream, but marginally less so than the Koch brothers.
