This is my favorite thing I've read today: "I'm so squee-ed out and turned on, I don't know what to do."

The descriptions of the efforts on the part of the zoo staff are amazing. That attempt was actually a highlight, they went downhill from there.

Oh sweet mother of God you have no idea.

No death in the graphic novels or the series has upset me more than the sacrifice of those piggies.

What is this? A room for cats?

It's like their little upturned piggy noses were made for them to go swimming!

No.

I'm not asserting superiority over any persons genuine interest in the arts, culture, and TED talks. Nor would I dismiss the vast majority of DC residents born who live their lives outside of the circles of supposed import. My point, okay snark, my snark was that there is a particular type of DC resident who lives…

I am looking. I actually never stopped applying for other positions since this job was really not what I wanted to be doing.

Thank you! It's just nice to be able to talk about it.

I do, much to my mother's horror. I've had to train myself when talking to "new people" about my interests not to start sentences with, "I really love (insert virus here)." It makes things awkward.

I went out with a guy who thought viewing TED talks was an indication of his intellectual superiority and depth. He lived in DC. Because living in DC proved he was multi-cultural and in touch with global politics and art.

One symptom of generalized tetanus is dysphagia with hydrophobia. In general hydrophobia is mainly associated with rabies, but something about the loss of control over muscle movement and a "fear" of water just bothered me.

Oh my God the timing couldn't of this could not be better. I actually sat at my desk at work last night and stared at the Jezebel site on my computer praying an open thread would appear so I could share my current situation.

I'm almost done with my Master of Public Health program where I concentrated on infectious disease. Out of all of the strange, deadly, and scary diseases in the world, tetanus is the only one whose pathology terrified me.

My heart grew three sizes when I read Anonymous had taken up the cause yesterday.

JOHN NOBLE!

I actually went and scoured his IMDB page so I could provide you with proof but it wasn't listed as of Monday afternoon. I haven't watched Monday's episode yet. I'm now even more excited!

But are they not leather? Hammer's looked, in retrospect, comfy. These? I can't even.

I just want to understand his pants. Why? Can someone just give me the why?
