'Starter' Marriages.

See I always thought practice marriages were called "engagements".

The power of the internet.

I'll have to add Wispa bars to the list of weird, british food I need to try some day.

I wonder if they go well with jelly babies and jaffa cakes?

Well, there used to be this message board called WizardWorld...

One birth - so much controversy...

To clarify, I know many families with 6 kids or more. But we're taking 17 kids (and counting) here, and that's quite different. And when I was talking about love and attention, I wasn't talking about material things. Even if the parents are able to afford to attend to all the kids' physical needs an...

One birth - so much controversy...

It's her body, her choice (presumably), it's free country, every child is a miracle, blah blah blah... Why having 17 children might be a rather bad idea: Human beings consume resources and produce waste. Especially "not poor" people. Humans also take up space. Not just the physical living ...

Dolphins for (against?) live action porn!

I think it's the tapping on the glass that's bugging people. Seems like they could put the one-way mirror stuff on the windows so the people can get a view of the ocean without the ocean getting a view of them.

Ugh! It's full of baseless assumptions and re-writes of history. (Did you know Stalin was ultimately defeated by his fellow atheist, Hitler?)

I'm tempted to make a parody "Liberapedia" to show them just what a liberal bias would actually look like.

But are they REALLY gonna be more than meets the eye?

I think I might be able to enjoy it. I don't care for much of the designs, and half of what I've read online about the script makes me cringe. But I think I've finally gotten over that. Part of the problem for me was that the first leaks that they were going to make a Transformers movie described it...

Paws rants again: Puppy mills and Puppy farms.

I encourage people to avoid buying a "pure" breed from any kind of breeder. Even the nice ones. It's the demand for inbred dogs that makes puppy mills profitable. There are tons of dogs, young and old, waiting to be adopted at pounds and shelters. And when you rescue a dog, it knows that y...

Very interesting article. Apparently the body usually produces a chemical called myostatin that restricts muscle growth, but this kid's condition makes him resistant to it.

Harry Potter (mini) Theme Park

Coming to Florida in late 2009: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

It will be part of Universal Studios Island of Adventure.
Looks like it will be right across from where there's a section dedicated to Marvel Comics.

There's more information and high-rez versions of the concept art here.
