Thanks for the laugh. I really liked the Elizabethan 'toon.

I think the question of whether the organism could survive being removed from its habitat generally depends upon the depth at which the organism lives. Many of the organisms that die do so from the drastic drop in pressure.

At least that sounds good, so I'm sticking with it.

Just playing devil's advocate, maybe he was counting the number of demons, not the number of people possessed. So if one person was possessed by 10 demons, this would skew the math.

And here, all this time, I've been trying to get my dog's hair off of my clothes.

Genetics. It truly is the most powerful force on the planet.

I see this as exemplifying what is 'right' about our society. That one person can start something that is carried out by strangers with the same spirit of involvement is great. Whether you think the photographs are good or not is secondary to the fact that they were willing to get involved.

When my cousins built furniture like this they were called hillbillies. Now it's chic. Go figure.

I have always stuck with the quintessential toilet training manual, "Everbody Poops". I heard that the film rights to the book were sold.

New Jersey is the "Garden State". But seriously, maybe this explains why civil engineers in New Jersey think that traffic circles are a good thing. I will drive 100 miles out of my way just to avoid one.

I only wish more groups would do this type of grand scale art. It would be so cool.

The only city on the list that I have lived in is Orlando. It was clean. But, wow, the palmeto bugs (a.k.a. cockroaches)!!! I almost wound up paying a pet deposit for one in my apartment because it was over 20 pounds.

Wow. If I could go back to my childhood I would definitely grow up to be an astronaut.

When I googled my own name, I found out it was being used by an adult film actress.

Naysayers about the LHC sound similiar to some scientists who during the Manhattan Project postulated that, when activated, the hydrogen reaction created would ignite and spread to encompass all the hydrogen in the atmosphere. Of course, it didn't.

I applaud the audacity of CERN to devote so much resource to the process of discovery. The United States used to be the center of Science for Science's Sake. The Government supported academic research and discovery. Now our money and attention is being drawn to different activities.

I would like to believe that CERN's achievement can inspire us to go further and farther. We can only imagine what the future holds. But if we're lucky, the future will hold that which we are incapable of imagining.

Thank God they're using salamanders. Look what happened when Dr. Curt Conners used a crocodile as a base model.
