So... We Are Wolves on the 29th (I know Jsese's interested. Anyone else?) and Exclaim Tour on Nov 5th (well, 4th too, but I'd probably be going on the 5th)? Sounds like $22 well spent to me.

I may even have to go to the Victory Lounge this Saturday, for You Say Party! We Say Die! (and two other bands I think face may have mentioned once or twice.)

hmm... hurtling down icy slopes.... seems like something that I like to do.. keep me posted mister toaster

here's the tracklisting:
1. Whitey Houston - Liarbird
2. Whitey Houston - They Got Cameras in their Pockets

5. Fembots - Count down our Days
6. Fembots - My Life in the Funeral Service
7. Shout out out Out out -nobodycallsmeunlesstheywantsomething

David Sandstrom and his team strike?

A second paper in Science reveals another US team has successfully recreated the 1918 virus in mice.

The virus is contained at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under stringent safety conditions.

Attention all sledders and various people who just like to go hurtling down icy slopes:

As you may (not) remember, last year I had a plan to see who wanted to make the trip down to Canada Olympic Park for a day of luge-centred fun, and there was some interest. Unfortunately, they were booked solid real early in the season and the plan was delayed until next year.

Fast forward to the present. Now that winter is fast approaching, I think it's time to bring this one back. Right now, there are still plenty of time slots available. The cost is still $49 per person for rental, training and five runs on the main track.

So then, who's interested?

Par, Jess, Pam... Did you eat a real cantaloupe in europe? Not one of 8 hybrid musk melons we sell over here as cantaloupe?

Thought of the day:

Having 2 older brothers is just a reminder you are closer to the bottom then the top.

I'm now up to a 1/7 success rate.
Thank Todd for Mercury Mike.

Well, I got about a 1/3 success rate. A few people answered water which, though incorrect, is at least more plausible than the 19-out-of-25-Harvard-graduate answer.

Hey Par, as far as the tree mass question goes...

Gary, Simon, and Danny got it wrong, Jere refused to answer, and Mercury Mike got it right.
