  • documented

    It seems this would be an especially appropriate time to talk about why I believe rounding up undocumented people and deporting them is so revolting to me. Right out of the gate I’m going to refuse to use the term “illegal immigrants” or its shortened form, preferred by lunch-room lawyers and pundits, “illegals.” People aren’t Read.

    At what point do you believe push-ups have occurred? I ask because My Darling B says that we do push-ups when we yoga, but I don’t think we do. We plank, which it the top of a push-up, and we chadurunga, which is lowering from a plank to the floor. I would argue that that Read.

  • smartphone

    As I mention earlier, we replaced our dumb phones with smart phones. We made up a lot of reasons that sounded good for doing this but the real reason we did it is that SMART PHONES ARE AWESOME! The dumb phones we had were the pay-as-you-go type, which were fine for making phone calls. In Read.

  • the end

    The question that biological anthropologist Barbara King is pondering on the science blog 13.7: Cosmos and Culture is just this: burial, cremation, or donation to a body farm? Strangely, she did not include what I’ve always considered to be the non plus ultra in postmortem disposal: detonation. When I learned about cremation, I realized we Read.
