Aw, you've got to be fucking kidding me. The headline graphic on Nancy Grace reads:
Paris Hilton Behind Bars: Day 1
How long is this going to go on?

A quick visit to Neatorama explains where all my time has gone:
- Knit Graffiti
- Flying Spaghetti Monster toast
- Kobayashi dethroned as the hot dog champ
- The Social Norm Of Leaving The Toilet Seat Down: A Game Theoretic Analysis
- Mario cake to end all mario cake
Not only are all of these distracting from my work, they also represent a level of dedication to one's work I cannot fathom attaining myself. They're doubly disheartening.
(The Knit Graffiti one, to me, is especially crazy.

I don't want to do this! aaaaaa
stupid pile of paperwork, ugh. I was looking forward to a boring, lame day of data uploading from all my temperature sensors, but instead I'm sitting in front of my laptop, staring at a poster that needs updating with a serious case of writers' block... grr!

"Of course I'm going to hit him in the head. He's quite a bit shorter than me. It's just law of physics."
-- Chris Pronger, on his suspension for hitting Tomas Holmstrom in the head
June 2, 2007:
Pronger suspended for one game for hit on Dean McAmmond. Says NHL VP Colin Campbell:
Campbell said there was consideration given to doubling Pronger's suspension from the one he received for hitting Holmstrom because he was a repeat offender. But he implied that missing one game in the Stanley Cup final was, in effect, a heavier punishment than missing one game in a conference final.Sound decision. Obviously one game was enough of a punishment for him to learn his lesson two weeks ago.
"There always is some thought to that," Campbell said. "When you get in a Stanley Cup series it's tough to determine the value of a one-game suspension. Is the second game of a series worth more than a fourth game? Is a fourth game worth more than a sixth game of a series?
"At this point in the playoffs, we felt this would be enough."
And I'm sure McAmmond doesn't mind sitting out the rest of the Stanley Cup Finals and jeopardizing his career for yet another concussion, while Pronger suffers through his one game on the bench for another malicious hit to the head of a player who scored a goal earlier in the game.

what about cheese? eggs? soy products?
you'd pretty much have to be a non-soy vegan in order to qualify... and then let's not forget all the forest-to-farm conversion going on out there to feed our habit... not exactly friendly on the carbon budget.
Quite frankly, in my opinion, the only people who deserve a tax break for carbon-reduction strategies related to their diet are those completing the 100-mile diet, and even that's a stretch if they buy from greenhouses.
