Donna Druchunas is a freelance technical writer and editor and a knitwear designer. When she's not working, she blogs, studies Lithuanian, reads science and sci-fi books, mouths off on atheist forums, and checks her email every three minutes. (She does that when she's working, too.) Although she loves to chat, she can't keep an IM program open or she'd never get anything else done.
Weird. Here I am, 43 years old, and I've just realised that "graft" has a completely different meaning in leftpondia. According to the OED both meanings – "hard work" and "obtaining profit dishonestly" – date from the mid-nineteenth century. The former is first recorded in NZ and Australia, the latter in the USA.
I … don't get it. At all.
Actually, that picture is Melissa McEwan of Shakesville (formerly Shakespeare's Sister). Rebecca definitely fits into the category, though. ;)
From what I can tell, it is this girl.
Also, if you don't get it, <a>check this out.
Hilarious post, writerdd. :)
Hey, my link didn't work. CheckTHIS out.
Well, never fear; I hear that the devil gets all the best lines.
That was my first thought too, but it doesn't quite match other photos I have seen
No,
Rebecca evil? Not at all. I won't entertain the thought!
Wait, what's this in Rebecca's top desk drawer? (The one under that cool shrine to Richard Ramirez, that she keeps at her job).
An autographed copy of the Necromonicon!
It says: "To Rebecca, you really scare me, ha-ha, signed SATAN".
I probably just mis-read it.
Man, look at all this varnished bread…

BTW: A special message for the slow: Once agian, I'm only joking.
Jeez, in the small pic even I thought it might be me! I think I'm more evil than PZ, though.
Regarding the post's title: "Is Rebecca Evil?" –
To quote The Big Lebowski: "Does the Pope sh*t in the woods?"

I thought it said "Craft" (and the picture kinda resembles some sort of needlepoint doilie(sp?) or something).

That's cos cephalopods are too cute and cuddly to take seriously as evil. Now pass the calamari, luv, ta.
Rebecca, you only thought the picture was you because you're a tremendous egomaniac. ;)
