Soon after that scientists had proof there is water beneath the Moon's crust.

Dame Edna has a similar emergency mechanism she can use if certain guests on the show have to be preemptively aborted, although I believe hers is a trap door in the stage.

I need one of those! Dang squirrels constantly mess everything up in my yard!

Your lucky, I have raccoons, their messes are 3-4 times bigger.

seems to be an SPCA problem here ..Entrapment ?? enticement ?? whatever ..the squirrel got butt kicked on this round !

So awesome. Would love to see an armadillo take off like that.
- Josh Haley
Are armadillos pests? Because part of the reason I don't feel bad about seeing this GIF is because squirrels are such awful pests here and there aren't enough predators to keep them in check.

I would launch ANYthing in that thing, pets, wildebeasts, you name it.

Whew, when I finished PML watching the astroskwirl, I thought A) pity we don't have them in the wild here in Australia and B) cats do like skwirls, and I have two cats, maybe that's why no little furry rodents live near me...

I like how it has to walk up two boxes to get to the goodies and it gladly obliges.

The best part about launching an armadillo would be seeing how far it rolls assuming it rolls up in to a ball in flight. It could replace pumpkin cannons and frog jumping as a sport.

Hmm, should show this to my Mom and see if she can rig something up to her bird feeders so the squirrels don't try to get to the seed. :P

It's the third largest mosque in the world, carefully just smaller than Mecca and Medina, and the only one of the three I may visit as a non-Muslim. And a challenge to photograph! I've taken probably thirty pictures of the Grand Mosque from the outside, and never liked a one of them, and I haven't loved any of the official photos either. It tends to look unreal, like an architect's rendering or a scale model, unless it is framed by something else. The photo above was taken from the car through the window with lots of distortion and reflection, the one below from the parking lot, and for now these are the best I can figure to do.

An Iranian carpet placed in the main prayer hall, woven by about 1200 Iranian women, is 5000 sq m and is the largest hand-woven carpet in the world, made out of 35 tons of wool and cotton. Cost AED 30 million, delivered to Abu Dhabi in early August 2007.

"Good advice, I guess. In the end, I chose a Glendale clinic because it was close to home, offered "superior professionalism" and had an appointment time that worked for me. But I was a bit nervous on my way to see the doctor. What if I got rejected? Not that I've heard of that happening to anyone. The open secret is that it's a cinch to get a marijuana "recommendation" in California. A "recommendation" isn't a prescription, but it would allow me to visit a dispensary and buy my buds."

I heard on the radio this morning that California is looking to legalize recreational us.
- Adam Harrison
they totally should. It's sort of silly really that pretty much anyone can go to a doctor's office, claim migraines and get a recommendation to buy pot. Why not just legalize recreational use and tax it?
- Thomas Hawk
The idea of being officially registered as a federal criminal (the current arrangement) is off-putting to many. Legalization would make things a lot less murky.

The same thing was said for licensed growers. I know a few people who considered growning for clinics and clubs, but didn't want to put their name on an "arrest me" list. But a lot of people did start growing, and I think most are doing fine. Reminds me when the feds raided a farm in Santa Cruz, so the city of Santa Cruz deputized the farms as a big "Fuck You" to the DEA.
- Adam Harrison
Heheh... I like Adam's "recreational us"... Typ-o or not?
- SAM
Jason, you're not necessarily officially registered. You can get an ID card from the state but that's optional. Legally all you need is from the doctor, and presumably he/she follows confidentiality rules. If you're a member of a co-op that gets busted by the DEA, the feds would have your name, but there are plenty of places to go that don't record your info. That said, I'm for...

"I do believe that you can achieve more if you're willing to take risks," Lars said in a recent phone interview. "There's almost a total correlation between the amount of risk you're willing to take and then the amount of stuff you then potentially can get done."

"Many great writers of the 20th century (especially American writers) struggled with addictions to alcohol. Some believe that this may have contributed to their great artistic abilities, while others believe that the alcohol served as a medication for other problems in their lives. This is a list of the 15 greatest writers who were alcoholics."
- Anna Haro

I have a hard time believing that their alcoholism attributed to their "greatness" or they're ability to write. However, I do think creative people are more prone to experiment with drugs of all kinds, including alcohol. However, based on what I've read, some of these authors seriously declined in their work once they became true alcoholics.

"If the Old Farmer's Almanac's prediction of a cold winter ahead is correct, at least one tree in Hampden will be snug against the blasts of wintry winds, plummeting temperatures and snow. Monday, while most folks celebrated the unofficial end of summer with a last dip at the beach, a walk in the woods or a backyard picnic, a group of Hampden knitters - young and old - were busy wrapping a flowering cherry tree on 36th Street in a knitted sweater."
- Michelle Jones
from Bookmarklet
The Hampden sweater tree is an example of an urban outdoor art movement that is called graffiti knitting, yarn bombing or yarnstorming. "It has been popularized in the U.S. by Knitta Please and is very popular in England," explained Caldwell, who was dressed in dark pants and a pink top emblazoned with the words: "Knit Happens In Hampden."
