Well, be fair, we only see the top third of him. Maybe he has really long legs.

The Wire. Omar > Vic. Pick up after your dog, or let nature take its course?

Not so very scientific, perhaps, but: Kangaroos Escape From German Zoo With Help From Wild Animals - SPIEGEL ONLINE Got the link from Bookslut, who noted: "Oh, Germany. I was getting homesick for you earlier today, after I read the news story about how you were becoming one big Pixar film."

Apparently it forced American authorities to go on record that there's no such thing as mermaids. Which, of course, only makes the nutjobs even more certain that it's all a CONSPIRACY!!1!

Yeah, I was surprised at that; the opening ceremony was so good, and then... this? The music coordinator seemed to have fallen asleep between 1989 and last week, they made a huge deal of artists who were either dead or couldn't be bothered to show up ("Hey, kids, remember David Bowie? Well, he...

And the metapublishing continues: Fifty Shades of Grey gets the spoof it deserves | Books | guardian.co.uk You don't often get to see the birth of new English words, but I must admit that the adjective "beekeeper-sex-loaded" is new to me.

Britain's poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy on the games: 'Translating the British, 2012' by Carol Ann Duffy | Books | The Guardian

Interesting interview with one of the SVH ghostwriters: How Your Sweet Valley High Gets Made | The Hairpin

I understand perfectly why Darcy and Elizabeth would run from that.

To be fair to Coelho, apparently that quote about having a duty not to be understood by his own generation is something he said as a teenager, shortly before being committed to a mental hospital. And as Paulo Coelho was a teenager a very long time ago, I'm not sure if it's an argument he'd make...

And we lost it by one. single. goal. But still, after more than 10 years of sucking, we're finally back at the top and a silver medal is a lot more than anyone had expected. We're proud of our boys, and the French won fair and square (if very very narrowly). Great games overall, I'd say. Good...

Point, though it's worth noting that a lot of the perceived "racial" conflicts are a fairly new invention, going back centuries rather than millennia. If there had been several species of us, the entirety of human history would look very different. Not necessarily better, but definitely...

Hell yeah, we made it to the final! To celebrate, here's the King of Sweden cheering his team on, with the queen at his side and some random bystander caught in the crossfire:

Oh, the semis aren't until tomorrow, so we might make it yet! ...Well, probably not, but it ain't over 'til it's over. Speaking of, the women's football final was a great game. However they got there, the US deserved to win that one. (And with Swede Pia Sundhage coaching we get to claim 1/23 of...

Congrats on the bronze! We made it to the semis in handball, surprisingly enough; we used to have one of the best teams in the world back in the 90s, but it's been 10 years since we've managed to even advance in a championship. The fact that we got to beat the Danes in the QF made it all the...

What I posted over on your poll was basically, no. While I'm sure there are decent self-published books out there, and there's certainly no shortage of awful books released by "proper" publishers, Sturgeon's Law (90% of everything is crap) still applies much more to self-published books than it...

True, but that's still 30,000 years ago, before we started building large societies, before we discovered agriculture... it's easier to coexist when you're just living in small nomadic groups constantly on the move.
