...just don't punish yourself by reading the entire series. :ouch:

Even better is Kim Harrison's 'Hollows' series. Rarely do you find an author who is unafraid to have her protagonist screw up in her thinking (not just a single action), so that the fallout isn't even fully known for three books.

Basically, jedi are the police; it isn't their job to make judgments or set policy, just to keep the peace.

If you really want to treat your bird well, you have to watch the Good Eats episode "A Bird In The Pan" (Transcript). I have successfully broiled whole chickens, without issue, in toaster ovens by using his method.

Even as a kid, I realized that the most likely error in the Genesis account was that the author just couldn't understand that what he spent six days watching wasn't happening in real time.

If you just want free, fun, frantic battles that you will probably lose most of the time, Bruno R. Marcos's Battle of Yavin and Battle of Endor will fit the bill admirably.

FWIW, if you wet taco shells, then stick them in the microwave for a few seconds, they will soften enough to be used as a gluten-free shell. Stack them if you like your shell thicker.

"And that, my fellow members of congress, is why we need to outlaw lithium-ion battery packs in electric vehicles."

You regularly break 0.9's? Have I got a deal for you! Google this, and you'll find mechanical pencils that use 1.8mm *flat* leads. (i.e. 0.9mm x 1.8mm) I picked one up at a hardware store, and *love it* as a replacement for a carpenter's pencil.
