$%*&$%(* CafeMom site
Dichotomy of the day - "We want men to be more active, involved parents" proclaim the women of CafeMom - who then deny men access to the site. Yay. Another reminder that, as a SAHD, I am neither fish nor fowl nor good red herring.

Magnificent Desolation
Watched "When We Left the Earth" last night. Could have sworn that Gary Sinise claimed that "It's a journey we can't repeat with today's technology." Apparently we've forgotten how to build Saturn V rockets or primitive computers.

Random thought #2
Why is it that the green beans on their plate were horrible, but the green beans on my plate were irresistibly delicious?
Random thought #1
Does the existence of "Thriller" make a zombie Michael Jackson inevitable, or merely more probable?
Yeah, I'm on it. If you really want to friend me, contact me or something. I may not have a high readership, but just in case. . .

Heh
DS just made some randomly correct science statement out of the blue. When I heard it, I asked "Where did you learn that?" expecting to hear Bill Nye, I Love Toy Trains, or something like that. He looked at me and said "Phineas and Ferb."
All-righty then.
All-righty then.
KGB
So, I found myself wondering - who decided that a good name for an info service would be "kgb"? I mean, my first thought when I hear "KGB" is not 542542, but rather, Комитет государственной безопасност.

Lunacy
Last night, I bit the bullet and registered for an event that I have considered for the past couple of years - the Howl at the Moon ultra. A timed, 8-hour run in the middle of August in Illinois. How bad could it be, right?
Running streak update
Some time ago, I mentioned that I was trying to run on a daily basis. So far, I have maintained that streak for more than 260 days. Yay me.

Platypus omelet
The other day, I was talking religion with my sister (in which I was maintaining the Almighty must have a profound sense of humor, with the noble platypus being Exhibit A), and I suddenly wondered:
Is the platypus a protected species?
If not, is it possible to obtain platypus eggs?
And, if you could obtain said eggs, how many eggs would it take to make a decent omelet, and what would said omelet taste like?
