Some professor found 14 points he’s decided characterize fascism. Guess which country’s government fits the bill. From a very weird little web board. But even if they are freaks, isn’t good reason to outright dismiss the criticism of Bush.

From my sister
Yes, email from my sister brings images like this, my nephew Nate, who, like any baby, loves to use his mouth while exploring. I think the crib’s not going to be so delicious for him, though. I’m looking forward to meeting this fellow, along with the rest of my family, next time I’m in Canada. I’m hoping for summer, hoping hoping hoping! (PS: The photo is, I think, by my sister Marie, who’s become quite the photographer!)
No Black Holes?
Courtesy of Marvin, here is some bizarre news from nature.com: there’s a physicist named George Chapline claiming, in all seriousness, that Black holes ‘do not exist’. He says they ate dark energy stars, whatever the hell that means. Negative gravity, dark matter… I don’t know, I think I’ll let the physicists armwrestle over it and announce the results, without worrying myself. But if this Chapline fellow’s “primordial dark stars” explain the missing mass problem—the claim that 90% of the universe seems to be missing, or that at least we can’t seem to see it—then maybe it’s a step in the …

I am pretty sure I’m not a serial-killing psychopath. If I were one, I think I would have cracked by now, and gone and done the thing. But imagine I were one. What would I look back on afterwards, and kick myself, mumbling, “I shoulda known…”? Well, here’s one thing. I find Flash games like this and this (depicted below, in order) funny. I …
The Thing About Technology, You See…
The Troll lumbered on over and posted again at my site. Just a little comment, I think meant as a taunt. Maybe to see if he could still post here. He managed to, but only because of a tiny mistake I’d made banning the link to his homepage. I’ve fixed it. What the Troll doesn’t know is that now his address is not only on my ban list, but is also wending its way onto a shared database (blacklist) of spammers’ web addresses. This means tons of blogs all over the world using the same blocking application will potentially, eventually, …
