"I was cutting the grass in the back yard last year, when I saw something dart under the mower deck. This little guy was what I found after stopping the mower. I checked him out, tickled his feet and belly, and he seemed to be okay. He had a cut above his eye, though, so I took him to the county's pet facility. They said they'd take care of him. He's really quite fortunate, because I didn't cut the backyard grass for the duration of summer, so the grass was very tall (upwards of a foot in some places), and it bedded down on top of him, and acted as protection. Due to the length of the grass, I was forced to cut in two passes, one with the wheels off the ground, and then one level cut. The little guy went un-noticed for the first pass. I'm sure he needed the luck of both his little bunny feet."

"The creator of a bestselling comic designed to show the world the tolerant and peaceful face of Islam has written an open letter to his young sons explaining how the project grew out of 9/11. In the letter, written for the BBC News website, Kuwaiti psychologist Dr Naif al Mutawa, says his superheroes - inspired by the Koran and known as THE 99 - were designed to "take back Islam" from militants who had taken it hostage. The comics, which now sell about one million copies a month in several languages, are soon to be made into an animated film by Dutch media company Endemol. Early last year, Forbes magazine announced THE 99 were one of the 20 top pop culture trends sweeping the world."

@Tyler @kol the scrollbars are there because its an IFrame. The IFrame is set to a specific height and once the content of the IFrame exceeds that height the scrollbar appears.

I think they are both cool and practical for back in the day before lavaliers. They were able to whip the mic over to the other peron's face quickly and the thinness of the grip made it less obtrusive for the viewers at home. The mics they use in sports are the ones that take up half the screen.

Iván Abrego, Rob Michael (Atmos Trio), Mycaptain and 3 other people liked this
"when “Dark Night of the Soul” was finally unveiled a few weeks ago, it still left fans puzzled. The project, it turned out, is a large-format book-and-CD package that Danger Mouse was releasing by himself, with 50 photographs by Mr. Lynch intended as accompaniment to the album’s 13 songs. But the CD is blank and recordable, and a sticker on the shrink wrap explains cryptically: “For legal reasons, enclosed CD-R contains no music. Use it as you will.” Bloggers and journalists speculated widely about why Danger Mouse, whose real name is Brian Burton, had withdrawn the music from the book. A statement on the project’s Web site (dnots.com) blamed “an ongoing dispute with EMI.”"

I'm straight because at the time of sexual imprint vulnerability society shepherded me into accepting a heterosexual role. Most people imprint straight for similar reasons. I believe it's the path of least resistance. Gay people probably have some genes to thank, but may also have a critical experience during puberty (height of sexual imprint vulnerability) that leads them in whatever direction.
- Internet's Tad
I think the sexual imprint idea is interesting but difficult to trace or prove. there are some whose *appear* to have been affected by incest or other traumatic experience (which is a whole 'nother ball of wax). outside of those obvious situations, how can an imprint be identified?

Like I said in that other thread, me and my bro had such similar lives to a point, but he turned out gay. I have thought about it a lot and have really done some soul-searching to see if I'm kidding myself...but, nah....I like women.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
Interesting conversation. I've always personally leaned more towards people being predisposed genetically to being either gay or hetero. My parents were divorced when I was 4 and my mother was a hairstylist. My mother brought my brother and I up to be very open minded and devoid of prejudice. I was around gay men often for most of my childhood growing up spending much time at the hair...

The category "men who like to have sex with men" is both more particular, and more broad, than anyone really knows. At least, that has been my experience of the world. There's identity, there's orientation and there's behavior and opportunity. Those aren't identical spaces. But, more to the point, as a long-term boyfriend used to say to me, and now I am saying to Derrick: I'm so glad you're gay!

What do you feel about the fact that the gay organizations in Norway wanted people to use homophily ("homofili") rather than homosexuality ("homoseksualitet") ? I guess the reasoning being that it isn´t all about sex. I practically never hear anything other than "homofil" anymore (often lesbian ("lesbisk") for gay women though). Of course I´m also aware that there may be differences in...

That's interesting Thomas, I didn't know that. So they want to use a word that suggests a culture rather than a sexual orientation? In which case, I would have to decline.
- Rick Powell
@Rick: I hear you. It may just be language though as "homofili" is defined in the dictionary here as "sexual attraction to the same sex, homosexuality" (it looks like there´s a much broader definition in English dictionaries). Looks like we just prefer the word without "sex" of the two meaning about the same.

it was due to the protracted level of rationing in the UK from ww2 that has lead to such a bad state of our national dishes - you know the UK was still in rationing deep into the 50's? We used to have a massive taste in game fowl, whole succled pig etc. You just don't see it any more.

That's the thing, if a 9 year old has access to a unfiltered, unsupervised Internet connection, that's an issue for the parents to control, not the government. They should help but it shouldn't be their responsibility to do the basic job of parenting.

So much of the Real-time web seems to disappear as fast as it flies by. Completely agree with Louis' post - GReader is still very useful to read and share from. Lots of options for tools and I like that I've got a few places to run across information - I was busy on Friday, so missed this on Twitter and FriendFeed, but found it in GReader where I can catch up later. For sites like TechCrunch where there is so much volume, it's usually through Twitter or FriendFeed that I find that valuable articles.

You know what I have always wanted since I was 4? A ball room. A room inside my house with plastic balls like at Ikea. I would put an entertainment system in there and watch TV etc... And It would be on the lower floor so I could have a fireman's pole down into it. Rachael has agreed to let me build one with a fireman's pole in our next house... :D
