Ex Libris Anonomous has finally answered the question of what to do with the books you bought for a dime because they look so cool, but their content is unremarkable.

PBS is taking applications for it's new reality show Colonial House!

I was at the doctor's this morning. Sometimes I think "blood-work" is just an elaborate euphemism for Bloodletting.

This article covering the nightclub disaster in RI, is also a charming slice-of-life of a 37 year-old small-town metalhead.


"When he married in 1993, his wife made him take down the heavy metal posters. But after a painful divorce two years ago, his single friends began inviting him to nightclubs where they still played the music that he had listened to as a teen-ager"


"In the weeks before the show, Travis had his eight Great White albums on heavy rotation in his truck's CD player."


"A friend was supposed to join him. But the friend's jaw was wired shut from a bar brawl. "

Instead of matching virtual socks, why not help with an effort to match real-life singleton socks.

I got The Sims for my PS2. Putting me in the odd position of blowing off actual chores, so that I could do virtual chores.

Baltimore is having an Arts Festival to Celebrate the 300th anniversary of the founding of St. Petersburg. Why? I haven't a clue, we have no ties to the city. This article from the City Paper argues the point better than I could. Other Baltimore Bloggers are equally puzzled. The residents of St. Petersburg, have no idea that Baltimore is even a city.

I found this site: Parking Spots, absolutely charming. It makes me want to carry around a Matchbox car in my pocket.

Texas Tech University Biology Professor Michael Dini is being charged with religious bigotry because of his completely up-front policy of refusing to write letters of recommendations for students who can't scientifically answer the question ""How do you account for the scientific origin of the human species?" (Oh, you better also be an A student, and someone he knows)
Right on Dini! I agree that being a creationist and being a good scientist don't mix. Aside from that, a professor has the right to refuse to give a recomendation for any reason, yes, even a whim. I would feel a lot more comfortable if I knew for a fact that all of my doctors were card carrying evolutionists.
In fact, it's quite depressing that he even has to make this policy. It should be assumed that if you're planning on going to grad-school in the biological sciences or medical school that you don't subscribe to mystical anti-science notions.
