New island that rose from sea after earthquake 'emits flammable gas'...

Paradise for morons! Visit today!

"Senators flooded with calls after historic Cruz speech..."

Just think of the influence he could've had if he'd not been a joke but syrias you guys like Wendy Davis.

"They (Tea Party) would have more influence if they were more cooperative and less confrontational."

Then they would be wildly successful, like us.

Double post apology. Unmasked good morning, all. Fog rising off the pastures, sun glowing from below the horizon. It's a day!

"New trend of leaving the umbilical cord on babies for three to ten days" (Mail via Drudge)

What? It's all natural!

Why do you earth-h8rs h8 us so?

"The pendulum is never denied. It swung sooo far to the left in 2008 it's gonna take a huge burst of momentum to bring it to the right."

You familiar w the expression 'buried the needle'?

That last swing to the left buried me in the wall. Plus, they've been hardwiring me leftward. No swing back until I get unstuck.

Covers? My cell doesn't have to be covered with bacon grease and pocket lint?

"A gregarious male gorilla at the Dallas Zoo will be sent to South Carolina for therapy after he bit one female gorilla and sneered at others..."

(Gregarious?)

He's holding out for a ginger.

Does it do anything useful, like display the time?

She said, I called our Senator's office today. His Washington office phone machine was full, so she called his number in Tulsa. Got a human. She left a message, I would like Dr. Coburn to support Senator Cruz in his filibuster and do everything he can to defund Obamacare. I understand this is not been his position. However I believe it is the position of the majority of his constituents. She got a meek thank you.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love my wife?

I don't have much time today for rolling in comments, it seems. Darned Real Life.

But I still bring links. It's like the little 'gifts' the cats leave on the doorstep.

SciShow can be annoying sometimes, but this was fun. What Happens If You're Struck By Lightning?

Toward the end, Green mentions Roy Sullivan, the world record holder for being persecuted by Zeus. I think I first read about Roy in the old Ripley's Believe it or Not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Sullivan

Fought off bears twenty-two times and was struck by lightning seven documented times (and more, he says, starting in childhood) and had a "fear of death." WTF? Man, I'm living on a few "borrowed years" of narrowly escaping death myself; he's got enough to spread around a whole village. Why did he not head to Las Vegas!?!!11!

"Scientific certainty is just another thing for two people to 'debate' on television..."

There is that which seems to support theory and that which seems to refute it, through weight of statistical evidence. Nothing is certain, there's just what experiment seems to bear out, or not, as in the case of humans moving the stars around to change the weather.

When you have what's called "scientific certitude," as folks have pointed out (I want to say, 'since Galileo'), that's not science, that's religion. Doctrinaire, to be clear.

There's <100 messages, but I bet somebody already said something to this effect. oot. oot. eet. eet. monkeying at the keyboard.

Think of it as a really bad job of wrapping a present.

"Anyway - Hadji is here to make the ha-ha even after Hadji stepped upon his own dick ... that is not the ha-ha so pause with the laughter ..."

Nope. Uncontrollable.

Hadji's work should be collected for posterity. (Adds to list with a collection of Poppins' Hollywood stories, the compiled works of Cloggenstein and Largesse, Fenelon's hymns history, others I'm not thinking of at the moment, all comments referencing assless chaps or pudding, and the complete collection of JJ's morning countdown.)

...great date STATE of AoSHQ... I was trying to say.

Thanks for the update, Ace. Not much here I hadn't read already in the comments or links therefrom ('tis the nature of the great date of AoSHQ), but some new info on things.

You'll want to fix that link ("d is a osition11">Gha").

But, for all that info and all those news stories, I know none of this is really happening in Kenya, because, there's still nothing about any of it on Durdge.

Oh. That's pretty cool.
