I would like to congratulate the European Food Standards Authority and European Commission for their open-mindedness. After their decision in mid-November to ban bottled water companies from claiming that drinking water can prevent dehydration, they were widely ridiculed. In their defense, a 3-year study by a panel of 21 scientists found no ( Read more... )

Many of you who also follow Amy's journal know that our oldest cat, Penelope, passed away this week. Amy & I have cried together a lot and also distracted ourselves a lot. Right now, I'm still not up for talking about it publicly ( Read more... )

In the 25 years or so since it replaced its baby-tooth forbearer, it's had a couple of silver fillings, a porcelain filling, a crown, and a root canal. Anyhow, at some point, decay got into ( Read more... )

I recently discovered "Home on the Strange." I think I may have seen it a long time ago, but it never really clicked. However, I followed a link back to it the other day, and it was like going down a rabbit hole. Besides being generally geek related, I saw several references to TMBG, Doctor Who, and other obscura that I get all flustered about ( Read more... )

Huh...so that's what decent into insanity feels like ( Read more... )
