Thanks for that tip! I've been fighting the new layout on my iPhone, and maybe this is a solution for now. Oh, yeah, you were correct to use "Start a new thread" to post a new comment.

He didn't look too bad as a woman either . . .

Coordinating their actions by the lunar cycle!

Looks like you've got a good lead on a Thursday Tale, or Saturday Short Story!

I'm with you there, things will have to get worse before we'll pull our head out of the sand enough to do the incredibly difficult and/or expensive things needed to make things better.

Being from South Louisiana, I can try to address some of the questions you posed. No one in the State of Louisiana, especially the State Government has the means nor the initiative to fund such a project. The State is in near bankruptcy, and we can hardly attract the venture capitol to build a casino, much less an…

I'd call the SyFy Film "Wolfpocolypse" and I think it would have to have a soundtrack by Wolfmother.

That reminds me of the old saying about the probability of monkeys typing some work of Shakespeare by random chance (very low but not zero). Given it's Japan, I wouldn't rule out an exhibition to test that point.

So, I'm assuming the flying building in the last picture might have been the shed where the farmer first constructed his anti-gravity device while trying to construct the slow-cooker for lamb-stew?

The Soviets did have a major effort to reach the moon, and had we in the US not done it first they no doubt would have made it to the lunar surface. The most important legacy of their lunar program is the Soyuz system, which was their version of our Apollo capsule. Sadly enough, NASA is now renting space on their…

Truely, "attractive" is in the mind of the beholder. I've known guys who are gay, and are into the "Bear" subculture who are so very turned on by the huskiest hairiest men they can find. Some straight men would take a less than classically beautiful redheaded women over any beautiful brunette, or blonde. It is so very…

True, it could also mean a positive reaction to the gift-givers personality traits, or social/economic status. "He makes me laugh." etc.

Given that Valentine's Day approaches, this article made me consider that cut-flower arraingments are an example of the costly but essentially valueless types of gifts the authors discuss. Sure they are pretty and all, but they have no lasting benefit. However, if they get one laid, they have essentially served thier…

You should be able to download the MP3 via iTunes. I subscribe to "Geeks Guide" that way. Just search for the podcast title. Having said that, I'm glad I read this article before listening. Since I am completely opposed to OSC's political activism, I'll be deleting it unheard.

Oddly enough, where I grew up coyote-dog hybrids were called coydogs. These were almost always feral, and were regarded as more dangerous than either feral dogs or wild coyotes. Traditional wisdom was that they gained the wildness and cunning of the coyote, but had larger size and aggressiveness of the feral dog. Saw…

The "Dogs Decoded" NOVA episode that Acrobaticrabbit suggested also should be available for streaming on the PBS and NOVA websites. It's a pretty good episode!

I've never had an experience with a semi-domestic fox, but when I was a teenager, I did know a guy who had bottle-reared a coyote pup. It's mother and a sibling had been run-over by a car, and it was staying on the road by their bodies. He rescued it and treated it like any other puppy. It was a kind of odd animal,…
