I suspect the team isn't going to let you take this one for them.

I have to step away from my keyboard. It's covered in cola and saliva.

Good point!

Damn, you beat me to it. I thought everyone knew Hawkman was Brian Blessed's illegitimate son.

Amen. I really like this site, and all its siblings. The design, and the concept are really well done. Maybe it's just forlorn hope, but I'd really like to see the quality of blogging/reporting/whatever you call it to match.

Very interesting article, but the text does not justify the title. Liposome capture of biomolecules may be non-random in the experiment shown, however it's a rather large leap from that conclusion to the one proclaimed in the title. In fact the article even contradicts the title itself:

"This is one of the "paradoxes of life in the desert," the Museum adds, that these "easily overlooked peripheral areas" are often, in fact, "vulnerable wilderness areas" tragically ill-equipped with the rapid—in ecological terms, nearly overnight—appearance of houses and suburbs."

That's a nice picture at the top, but she's going to shoot that bow with her hand in that position exactly once. The fletching is going to give her such a feather cut!

Hi. Just received a revelation from the Editor Gods.

Ha! Exactly. If Skeletor is your idea of a "Golden Age" of cartoons, you not only missed the boat, it caught on fire and sank.

I'm betting many of these folks are looking at their hit counts and thinking "Thank GOD! They're finally getting my divine message! This is totally working after all!"

Being a Utahn, I've had the chance to do Angel's Landing. It's truly terrifying (and I used to do a bit of alpine climbing as well as parachuting, so heights don't bother me).

Strangely, although none of them ever read Rand, both sets of my grandparents subscribed to exactly the same ethos.

Good point, however the Jaredite implosion climaxed about the same time as the arrival of Lehi et al. That would make it hard for the Jaredites to be the people who built the mounds.
