- Consumer Reports on the danger of dietary supplements – “We have identified a dozen supplement ingredients that we think consumers should avoid because of health risks, including cardiovascular, liver, and kidney problems. We found products with those ingredients readily available in stores and online.” From Chasmosaur.
- How to make a difference – responsible vaccine advocacy – Great article by Joe Albietz. Thanks for the support of the vaccine drive that we’ll be holding at DragonCon!
- Thank god global warming is a hoax – “I mean, right? You know? Because gosh Jesus in angry apocalyptic heaven, wouldn’t it be just terrible if it were all true?” From Sarah.
- Marriage, anyone? – On the fun you could have with an online ordination. From cerberus40.
- Cute Animal Friday! Penguins chasing a butterfly. Tiny baby goats of extreme cuteness. And check out the sweet little mohawks on these baby cheetahs.
Hello? Anyone home?
…
Where is everyone today?
Oh no. What if everyone has been killed in the zombie uprising and I’m the last human left…?
I’m going to assume that that is what happened.
I’m still here! Everyone in my office seems ok but we’re on the 15th floor. Just the normal shambling office drones.
wait . . .
I’m here. I’m not considered a softy (just ask any of my students after they get an exam back), but I did like the cute cheetah photos. Just what I needed after reading the latest lunacy from the admin office!
Penguins eat butterflies?
Maybe due to global warming their natural prey is not readily available.
One reason I’m totaly down with gay marriage is once it becomes legal, I can get me a mail-order husband!
@Stevie: @should be working: @JOHNEA13: @infinitemonkey: I’m going to ignore all of your replies and focus on being the last of our species.
Day 1. Oh, my boss just came back. *logs off*
My brain kept short-circuiting on the third one. I kept inserting “Palin” after “Sarah” and couldn’t get any further.
Oh I needed Cute Animal Friday today. One of my best friends left for Boston this morning to pursue his PhD and I’m trying very, very hard not to be uber sad about it, especially since I wasn’t able to see him again after my birthday party on the 8th. I WILL NOT CRY! I WILL NOT CRY!! SO YAY CUTE ANIMAL FRIDAY! :D
@Mark Hall: That’s ok. I kept reading the last one as “Baby cheetoh’s”
@Skept-artist: Perhaps … just perhaps … it is YOU, my friend, who has become the world’s first Zombie!!!
Funny, so did I, Stevie. :-D
