Lead-Laden Toys Found at Wal-Mart, Sales Continue

But... the lead toys are so much tastier!

The US electrical grid is too crappy to be vulnerable to terrorist attack, say physicists

More sad than reassuring...
 
"The US government worries that terrorists could take down the country's electrical grid just by hitting a small node in the system. But a new study reveals the grid is too unreliable for that kind of attack."

Nivagi 2010.10.08

Last night I had a pleasant, if busy night, with Nivagi.  Work was
horrible, so I was happy to escape and have about an hour alone at
home before I had to venture back out.  I talked to Jero, Ke, and Mira
on the phone (they're already in Chicago), and then ran around my
apartment packing for the weekend.  Around 8 o'clock I packed up and
headed to Castleton to meet Nivagi at a costume shop after she got out
of class.

I got there just before it closed, and looked around, although I
didn't find anything perfect for either my Graverobber from Repo! or
my Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter costumes.  Nivagi bought a wig and
some accessories for her Goth baby doll costume, and then we went to
Perkins for a late dinner.  We talked about her plans for the weekend
– she plans to move out of Ke's today, and then go to a party.  I'll
be in Chicago.

Nivagi and I stopped by my apartment to pick up her phone and Mira's
hair straighter, and then we went to Ke's house to sleep.  I was
planning to help Nivagi pack, but it was already late and I had to get
up for work in the morning.  Instead I read her a bedtime story –
Thumbelina, a story of interspecies rape and sexual bondage (hey, I'm
not completely making that up – every creature Thumbelina meets wants
to force her to be his wife!).  At last we curled up and went to
sleep.  B)

Conversation at work

(referring to the zombies pictured on my BHRG calendar)

Coworker: "I like your calendar.  Those gentlemen are very scary!"

Me: "They're not gentlemen.  They're roller girls."

Coworker: "They're roller girls?  That's even scarier!"

Me: Hee!

Yay Party Foul, Tijuana Momma, and Narnageddon!

Polygamy, Polyamory, Sister Wives and You

From bigger-love.com -

'By Lucius Scribbens on October 4th, 2010

Some of you may be saying to yourself: "Self, why has Lucius Scribbens
developed such an interest in polygamy and the plight of the Brown's
(the family featured in the TLC reality series Sister Wives) in Lehi,
Utah?"

Well it's like this. Kody Brown and his wives Meri, Janelle and
Christine (and soon to include Robyn) represent more than polygamy.
They are a very functional, long-term plural quad with 15+ years
together and 13 kids, and any consensual plural relationship that
constitutes commitment (such as they exhibit) could be prosecuted
under current bigamy laws across the United States.

Just because you are legally married to one person and have a
handfasting to another, doesn't make you safe from being convicted of
a third degree felony for bigamy. You are under U.S. laws, a
polygamist… Like it or not. The only thing saving your ass at this
very moment is that you aren't Mormon therefore you aren't garnering
the attention of the representatives of the State.

The U.S. Model Penal Code (MPC) states that you don't have to be
married to more than one person, you only have to say that you are to
be guilty of bigamy. Hell, in eleven states just coinhabiting with
someone other than a family member is illegal and can earn you a fine
and possibly jail time.'
