The above may be true. I am not certain, however, and I don't wish to get myself in trouble with either the Almighty Darwin or his superiors for hubris. That being said, I know exactly what it is that I'm waiting for this morning, and it's just not happening. I swear that I followed the protocol exactly! Why the hell won't the damn gel polymerize!?! Why?!? Oh my Darwin, why hast thou forsaken me?....
I found this article while reading Fark this morning. It made the linguist in me very unhappy. I started berating the poor computer, startling my coworkers, with expressions of discontent. English is a fucked-up language. All know this.
*infomercial announcer voice*But wait! That's not all! If you check CNN in the next 5 minutes, you'll see this fine gem. Great, just great.
So, it's really been a "grr..." sort of morning. I check my horoscope. I blink. I check to make sure I'm reading the right sign. I blink again. I read it out loud to make sure I'm not missing any words, "Scorpio: Emotions may get out of hand. Don't be the one to raise the volume. If anything, you should be a calming influence." Um, me? A calming influence? Somehow, I'm thinking that the stars are smoking the bad crack today...
