Two days in one.

annaonthemoon‘s arrival, combined with my own poor feeling (after two weeks of snuffling, sneezing, and the like, I might finally be getting around to, y’know, getting sick.) and I decided “Sleep is more important.” So you get a double dose of the insanity.

Perhaps because they’re early, or maybe, juuuuuuust maybe, because they promote a particular religion and are thus not suited for a governmental organization, Toys for Tots rejects a donation of 4,000 talking Jesus dolls. Wait, a government organization upholding its religious neutrality?

...who shouted “inconceivable”? You, in the back. You’re early on that line. I haven’t gone through The guy who says extraterrestrials will call soon, terraforming mirrors to turn Mars kind of Earthlike, Americans asking Germans for help for suing Rumsfeld, Chinese coloring books that teach the characters for weaponry, warrantless wiretaps being turned down, someone blaming illegal immigration problems on abortion, why we shouldn't attack Iraq (number 1) and why we shouldn't attack Iran (number 2).

Beyond that, there’s the neat stuff of wireless power transmission, radiation detection watches, painkillers in saliva, or some parts of the 22 coolest things not available in the United States, and old-style brain maps.

Although the Administration still maintains detainees have no rights. So I suppose that’s not so inconceivable. Some things remain the same. Like the sensitivity to anything having to do with the Nazi regime. A snippet of a Nazi leader's speech played to inspire the team ends up inspiring an apology.

Um, like, stop saying so much, like, like. Cause it’s, like, not cool anymore. Reverse the ubiquity trend. Or maybe, like, I’m over-reacting.

There are pagans suing to have pentacles put on military gravestones. And apparently, the VA drags its feet.

Okay, now you can say “inconceivable”. If you do, though, I’m going to pull out my two last stops for the night and say “You’re not even close. Even this gallery of old lesbian literature isn’t close to inconceivable. What’s inconceivable is this: the Games 4 Girls Display, telling girl gamers that they don’t have to come in, and that all they want are frilly games. That’s inconceivable. (Actually, here’s something that beats it - trying to cash a check that you think is fraudulent, say that you think is fraudulent, and then ask the teller to check if it's fraudulent, gets you arrested. Yep, that’s right. Arrested, detained, sent to the lockup, and then has everything cleared away within a day or two. With, apparently, no recourse to recover the costs from the mistake. That’s right, that’s after the guy said, ”This is suspicious. Check, please, to make sure that this isn’t going to be a problem.“ and the teller said, ”Nope, no problem.“ In-con-ceivable.)

Going to bed, now. I need my sleep. And tomorrow, I’m keeping my advising appointment. This time I’ve put in the time of the appointment. It will work. I will it.

I can't believe that wireless power transmission article didn't say word one about Nikolai Tesla, but left it for the peanuts gallery to bring up. What is this world coming to, that we don't even acknowledge the giants' shoulders upon whom we stand? Next, someone's going to do some work on planetary gravity and claim they were the first to develop it, Newton and Einstein be damned.

Have the best

Or, you know, Galileo.

Archimedes, perhaps, in an indirect sort of way?
