When I was a kid in California, my dog Pollyanna started acted like a fool, and then we had an earthquake later that day, and my mom was all "animals can sense these things. Nature is amazing et al." Then a year or so later, Pollyanna starts acted like a fool again so we waited for the earthquake to happen. She had…

Now that there are jail cats, there's nothing to stop me from turning to a life of crime.

I recall listening to a RadioLab podcast episode about parasites. One of the stories featured was about a researcher who cured his own terrible allergies (and other health issues) with tape worms.

And what party would the Rock join? That would be the Party in my Pants. It's a grand old party and you all can join.

Right? I don't know what these jurors get, but in my state it's $55 a week. Which won't even pay for parking.

So, a group of 14 from the IT department of a transportation department are going to share a baby?

I would go just to hang out with Joan Collins. You know she's got all the good gossip.
