i have a phone plugged in and a hell of a phone bill because of a scenario like this...
Who needs gods when there are breasts?

...and no, I don't have all the answers. I don't know how to jolt myself into seeing what each moment could become. But I do know one thing: the solution doesn't involve watering down my every little idea and creative impulse for the sake of some day easing my fit into a mold. It doesn't involve tempering my life to better fit someone's expectations. It doesn't involve constantly holding back for fear of shaking things up.

Also, it's not like anyone actually calls up the Nobel committee to double-check things.

:D
I can believe things that are true and I can believe things that aren't true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they're true or not...I believe that mankind's destiny lies in the stars. I believe that candy really did taste better when I was a kid, that it's aerodynamically impossible for a bumblebee to fly, that light is a wave and a particle, that there's a cat in a box somewhere who's alive and dead at the same time (although if they don't ever open the box to feed it it'll eventually just be two different kinds of dead), and that there are stars in the universe billions of years older than the universe itself...I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn't even know that I'm alive...I believe that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you're alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it.

Back when I worked at the old building, there was a lab in the basement.  It was hard not putting on my labcoat, stopping in twards the end of the day, and steeling all of the beakers.

I just love the fact they got Neil Gaiman. Twice. Once on a trampoline.

Why do all my attempts at science end with me being punched by Batman?  (P.S. benzoyl peroxide soap works great.)

You don't use science to show that you're right, you use science to become right.
