I am a radioactive zombie. grr. snarl.
I would like a thin mint cookie or three, if no brains are available.
thank you for your time.

I don't normally watch Hollywood Squares, but I noticed the last time I flipped past it, they were having a theme... "crime fighters week".
Robert Culp, Hal Linden, Kate Jackson, Dennis Weaver, Mike Connors, and Erik Estrada were all on the grid.
Very cool. Quite a little flashback to some of my favorite TV as a kid (and to this day, really.)
I'd have loved to see some crazy crossover show of Mannix, I Spy, and Barney Miller and "CHiPs".
MK12: man of action... must be seen to be believed. Mr President, Dr. Steve Elvis America and Robo-bobo monkey robot. Even stupid person know MONKEY HATE CLOWN! The Whole MK12 site is pretty keeno.
I ended up having a 2 hour nap last night, and just chilled out. I'm still getting together with the mother for dinner tonight, albeit as a duo rather than a trio.
Got my check for $13.86 from the CD MAP antitrust suit. Should I use the money to buy music? Somehow, I think it'll go to Chinese food or action figures (see bottom) instead.
Asia's bear-sized catfish are disappearing - From the UC Davis:
One of the world's largest freshwater fish, an Asian catfish as big as a bear, may disappear in the near future, warns a UC Davis conservation biologist from his research base in Cambodia. The giant catfish (Pangasianodon gigas), which grows to 10 feet long and 650 pounds, is a migratory species in the rivers of Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. It has been a mainstay for local fishers for centuries. Now very few fish are being caught. At one typical traditional fishing spot on the Mekong River at Chiang Khong, Thailand, 30 fish were caught in 1995, seven in 1997, two in 1998 and none in 2000 and 2001.( Read more... )
A Danish biotech company has developed a genetically modified flower that could help detect land mines … The genetically modified weed has been coded to change color when its roots come in contact with nitrogen-dioxide (NO2) evaporating from explosives buried in soil.
Within three to six weeks from being sowed over land mine infested areas the small plant, a Thale Cress, will turn a warning red whenever close to a land mine.
How cool is that?( Read more... )
Where would I go tomorrow if I wasn't on call? (look at this stuff) Ack, I wish I'd known about it sooner... I wouldn't have given MM the first part of the evening.. I'm only on call until 9pm-ish. I may try to swing by afterwards, and see if anything's happening. It's about a block away from the singing fountain. The show will be open for a couple of weeks, so I have time to check it out. It'd be interesting to meet all of the artists, though. I'll probably go on Saturday.
