Happy Mothers Day Bit of USPS trivia: Mother's day is the second busiest mailing day of the year (Not in the same league as Christmas but busy.) Express mail has increased volume on Mother's Day weeekend. My work at the USPS involved the automated package sorter. Mother's Day also had marked increases in the amounts of packages from Frederick's and Victoria's Secret. This can be a bit unnerving if you're familiar with the story of Oedipus. |

IFL Science has a summary of 12 Types of Science Papers. I figured this is right up BactPhD's alley. The one on how a reporter views different types of science papers is pretty good too.

Looks a bit like Kevin Kline. |

I traveled in Austria with a friend who is a journalist. He said "this language needs a space bar." |

All the toilet bowls at a local police station were stolen. The Chief Superintendent issued a press release: "All our detective officers are working on this full-time, but at the moment they have nothing to go on."

He's quite sure he had one when he left home.

[1] To criticise my use of these Briticisms would be like shouting at Hispanics in the street for speaking Spanish. Damned bad form, old chap, what? |

Anticipatory rebuttal belies unseemly hypersensitivity. What's the appropriate English saying? Have a bee in your bonnet OR perhaps, thou dost protest too much.
Also, Rich suffers from the misbegotten idea that donning dark shades makes him Jason Statham.
