View From the Bushes

My daugther came down with a fever suddenly yesterday morning. My wife was giving her ibuprofen every four hours to try and keep it down, but it wasn't quite doing the trick. So that evening as I was leaving to take my daughter home early so that she could get some rest, my wife instructed me to try an acetaminophen suppository when I got home. The rest of the instructions were blurred out by the horror of the initial request, but I remember hearing something about a curve, and my pinky and the necessity for speed. In any event, she's feeling much better this morning, so hopefully the horrible experience (for both of us) was worth it.

Speaking of horror, Lucas is describing the next Star Wars movie as 'Titanic' in space. Though to be fair, with the exception of the 'present day' plot line and the two main characters, I really quite enjoyed 'Titanic.' In fact, if Episode III is that good, I will be overjoyed. Though still you have to admit that describing it as "'Titanic' in space" is not a good sign.

Finally, Slashdot linked to an article in the New Scientist cotaining a a list of 13 things that do not make sense. The list covers such things as Dark Matter and the Placebo Effect, but for me the highlight is my old standby of Cold Fusion.
