Hee hee hee!

Thanks to Pharyngula's readers for the link.

There are now 5 men working in my building out of a total of 36 people, which I believe is an all-time high. Gosh, I can hardly keep track of them all!


In online entertainment news...
First there were the LOLCats.
Then came the LOLCat Bible and LOLTheist at seemingly opposite ends of the spectrum.

It was only inevitable that we now have LOLCats can has science.

( Here are a few of my favorites: )

That is just about the funniest thing I've ever seen. What's more, nobody seems sure who created it or whose side it's on!



Anyway, it probably helps if you recognize most of the people in it. Darwin raising the roof just about kills me.

Tomorrow I'm going to try to get in for a pedicure, because Friday is VACAY!

Haha! I love this site, for e-cards "when you care enough to hit Send." Unfortunately, I can think of very few people I know who would immediately appreciate the humor if one of these sentiments just randomly showed up in their inbox. Dammit.

'Tis the season for robins! I noticed the first one yesterday. Then, this morning while reading in bed I heard all kinds of twittering outside my window, and looked out to find one sitting on the roof calling to another that was on the ground below. That means spring is finally here!

Thanks to Pharyngula for this story of a pitiable man who thinks he's unearthed the remains of sea dragons.

I'm working my way through the video, but it's so awful it's agonizingly painful. While this story is perhaps good for a laugh on the surface, it's dismaying on so many other levels. This poor, deluded man honestly believes he is founding a whole new branch of biological study. Unfortunately, he's seriously lacking in knowledge of fundamental geologic history, vertebrate paleontology, spelling, grammar, presentation skills, scientific nomenclature, and -- most importantly -- reality.

He's exhibiting the characteristics of an 8-year-old who has discovered "dinosaur bones" while digging in the yard. As a parent, you might encourage his eagerness for discovery and interest in science, but eventually you have to break the news that what he found weren't actual dinosaur bones. Where were this man's parents??

Seriously. 540mya? the Pre-Cambrian? He could at least have chosen a date in which vertebrates actually EXISTED!

...And I'm going to keep quiet about the conclusions I'm drawing about him inside my head based solely on his appearance...

I laughed and laughed. And then I cried and cried.
