...that Germany has the most interesting cannibalism cases? First there was the man who recruited his own enthusiastic murder victim, and now this unique take on a grandmother's recipe.
Somehow, I think this impulse came from the same bizarre lust for experimentation that leads young men to light farts.
From a local paper: Highway floral displays face cuts
From an e-mail, in which a chocolate shop was apparently having an Easter sale: 20% off Toady!!!!
(The poor toady: you know it's a harsh economy when even henchmen get downsized...)
I finally gave in and bought this alarm clock (though not at this price!) after Old Faithful let me down again last week. I hope I like it, and hope it stays around as long as the old one.*

Thank heavens--I don't know where you take a fish for warranty service.
As all the blog seems to have gone out of me lately, a few things I found interesting:
- The "space bat"--In the wake of the Natasha Richardson tragedy, this story about a bat spotted clinging to the space shuttle (but never seen getting the hell off it) was like a depressing little cherry on a pie made of suck.
- From CrunchGear, a story on the coolest business cards ever.
- And a top 10 list from Wired that I found vaguely sexist, if only because I'm an even bigger geek than many of the guys I know.

Me: So, given the weirdness of the last several months, what are you going to do for Valentine's Day?
Also Me: I'm getting my cat neutered!
M: I see. Is it true that you asked a vet whether this could be done as a house call so the little mite wouldn't be nervous?
AM: Yep!
M: And when they said no, because of the general anesthetic, did you really say "I consider that optional at this point?"
AM: Yes.
M: And why did you say something so mean?
AM: He peed on me.
M: Has he peed on anything else lately?
AM: Apart from the furniture? A blanket and my bathrobe.
M: Would this be the same blanket and bathrobe from yesterday's laundry?
AM: Correct!
M: You're right. This is going to be romantic.

If you have to make budget cuts, I'll chip in for the apostrophe!
