A fruit fly walked into a gay bar...

Interesting article about fruit flies, genetics and bisexuality.

Gotta love those 51st century fruit flies.

The pig farmer...

So Robert Pickton has been ruled guilty. Is anyone in Canada surprised? He's been found guilty (so far) on six counts of second-degree murder.

Interestingly, according to an article in The Ottawa Citizen that quotes from a letter he wrote, Pickton said he did it because God told him to rid the world of evil.

The levels of irony in the comment amuse me.

Meme about choices...

I got this lovely meme from cupati. ( What is your name? )

I enjoyed that! Thanks, cupati!

G'day g'day...

When I log onto Scrabulous it says 'hello' to me a different language each time, and it adds, "Hi there! Each time you login, you will be greeted in a different language! This feature was added to embrace users from all over the world into our little community." I get a big kick out of this, but seldom remember the words if I don't know them already - or I remember them, like "Sannu", but forget what language they are from. Today I got the Welsh Siwmae. You can scroll through the words to check them out.

Yesterday I got "G'day", which it cites as Australian. I have no reason to doubt it. But I used to know local people - Ottawa Valley people - who always greeted me with: "G'day g'day." They always said it twice. I loved that.

Have other people heard that?
