Porcine Zona Pellucida Vaccine:

Why in the heck don't we (as humans) have this option? Yes, it wouldn't work for immunocompromised persons, and 90% is not incredibly excellent. Look at diaphragms, though. Success rates between 83% and 94%. Condoms are between 85% and 98% and withdrawl is between 72% and 96%.

My cactus is dying! Erin gave me a cactus for Valentine's Day this year. I fear the lack of direct sunlight in my 5th floor office is finally getting to it, as its turning yellow. I've put it on the windowsill and gave it its monthly feeding. I hope its OK. Erin calls it "Monday" because thats when I water it. My spider plant, however, is doing so well where it is it hasn't reproduced yet and its HUGE. Like these leaves are absolutely ginormous. I've seen spider plants with more leaves, but I don't think I've seen ones with wider or longer ones. Like 0.5" wide and 14"-16" long! The leaves are so big they're folding under their own weight.

I ran and did forms on Friday and today. Both took me 18 minutes. Mom says I should work longer to get an actual effect (calorically and cardio-wise). While I agree in general, I believe that this is still beneficial, and I can feel an increase in my endurance and speed.

Yay blowing up a building in a (likely) suicide attempt. More yay that no one died.

Wired News: What If They Gave a War...?:

Wherein the author blames pop culture and self-involvement in the lack of student protests. 'Cmon, do you really believe that students weren't just as self-involved in the 60's? That there were many who demonstrated just to get laid? Of course there were! I'd contend that the issue is that popular culture has synonomized "cool" with "apathy". You can blame James Dean in Devil Without a Cause for that, if you'd like.
