No! Never! Never, ever marry a 'boy who won't grow up'! It's a recipe for marital disaster!

That is such an adorable little dragon! And such a great response from CSIRO! I am sure that they all were willing to move mountains to deliver for a girl who addresses them with: "Hello Lovely Scientist"

Thank you for posting this review. I had *heard of* her book, but never bothered to get any details about it or Friedan. Your concise and detailed description has given me much perspective on a time when I was a small child, unable to understand or appreciate the social changes that marked that time. It is shocking to me to be reminded that women could not even establish credit without a man even as recently as the 1970s. I will be sure to forward this post to my daughters, who may not appreciate how recently and how pervasively sexism was openly institutionalized. (Today, it is probably almost as pervasive, but merely less open)

If she had had an education in chemistry, she could have raised the money by cooking meth.

Wow. I completely forgot that aspect of the Ewoks. They were fully prepared to eat Han, Luke, Leia and even Chewbacca before they were convinced that 3P0 was a god. That puts a completely different spin on the celebration scene at the end of the movie!

Not having seen the NPR link, perhaps they orient themselves in the same direction that mice normally defecate, and so the mouse will run in the same line as the fox is oriented, making it possible to catch the mouse during the dive.

OK, I am pretty sure this applies pretty well to my dog. It's not all the time, but seems to be the case most of the time I've looked.
Speaking of looking . . . I hate to think of what those two years of research were like, with the thousands of observed 'events'. That is one sad, sad graduate student somewhere there.

This so needs a rainbow and a cat.

I want to hear him do the alphabet now.

I want to see them actually eat this.

For a real rip-out-your-heart tearjerker, see Ano Hana (We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower We Saw That Day).

I hope this is not inappropriate, but I watch my anime online at crunchyroll.com. It's a totally legit site that had started out as a place to see fan-translated/fan-subtitled anime. They somehow negotiated deals to stream subtitled anime with advertiser support or subscription, and it has a great selection.

In a REAL ninja restaurant, you would never see the waitresses.

The choral music during the jump was "Atmospheres", which was featured in Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey". It was nice to see it being used there.
Really, really nice fidelity to the original monster design, and I was very glad to hear that familiar 'zilla roar.

So, now you need to replace all of your entertainment reading with Girls und Panzer fanfiction.

For more bizarre anime goodness, though maybe a bit nsfw, there's Upotte!, in which assault rifles are personified as middle-school girls

For a peaceful and calm atmosphere, there is nothing like Aria.

That's a terrible uniform, if it needs such constant adjustment. It did look better than the first TNG uniforms, which appeared to be extremely uncomfortable.
