Your silence and your back, troll. They are all 'tis required.

I really, really hate you right now. Yes. I like Tyson, and think he is a great teacher, but he is no Sagan.

I do not know what that is. What is 2048? *Nevermind, I see you have it linked. Damn you. Pluto, unfairly demoted or it was about freaking time?

Yes and yes. Favorite veggie?

I'll need pictures... I love celery. It's crunchy, stringy and has a delightful flavor. Funfood, really. Do you hate raw carrots too?

Hell no. As much as I despise Spring as the hateful season it is even I am looking forward to it this year. Can I bitch-slap the next person that I hear say "So much for global warming"? Can I?

Written language. Again.

All true. As I said, my pre-frontal says "Cool!" while my amygdala screams "Run!".

Not the what, the why. The idea of bringing back apex predators for giggles unnerves me a wee bit. Is all good for the lab, but what if it goes all Crightonesque? Intellectually I know there is a tiny probability of them becoming something akin to snakes on the Galapagos, but still... I...

I hate faeries. Always up on their soapboxes telling everybody how they should live. Self righteous little twits flittering around everywhere spreading fallacious hope and happiness. Optimistic plague mongers, they be! No, give me a goodole, down-to-Earth dwarf, or even a troll for the sake of...

Chocolate sauce of some kind. Greatest invention in history?

Welcome aboard. Chatter away! :)
