Powered By Osteons: Holding Hands into Eternity

This week, a news story was going around about an Iowa couple. Married 72 years, they got into a car accident and died within an hour of one another . They arrived at the hospital holding hands and continued to do so through their deaths. They were placed side-by-side in a casket, still holding hands, and were even cremated together. Another story out of Italy this week is very similar, except that it takes place in the 5th-6th centuries. http://www.poweredbyosteons.org/2011/10/holding-hands-into-eternity.html

Oh, I’m afraid this magnifying glass is fully operational. It’s as if millions of mouse droids suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. http://www.geeksaresexy.net/2011/09/22/star-wars-kid-baddies-pics/vader-17/

http://www.isaacstewart.com/ I’ve been finishing up the latest revision of the current novel and have been thinking about some of the things that have helped me the most. As for revising a novel, I’m not as sage as some writers. Not yet anyway, but I want to write these things down so I can remember the process. 1)...
http://danse-macabre.nu/autojoy/ There’s been a lot of gaming in our household (flathold?) recently! Lots of… OLD games, to be more specific! Me and Paul have been playing a lot of Heroes of Might & Magic III since last year, for starters… it was something he’d played a lot as a kid, and wanted to try it again.

Dammit science. For all the good you do, you can be a real Debbie Downer sometimes. We like it when you cure diseases and invent awesome new materials like silicene , but when you take away the mighty roar of a jet fighter, that's when you've gone too far. Specifically to blame is a mechanical engineering professor at the University of Alabama, Dr. Ajay K.

I Heart Chaos

http://www.iheartchaos.com/ Sometimes your kids say stuff and all you can do is try not to hemorrhage from the stifled laughter. Case in point. Yesterday we were at Target buying a new utility table. We were waiting for them to bring one up from the stockroom, my mother was with us and had run to the bathroom so I was alone with my younger brother and the boy.

In November 1855, the Great Ansei Earthquake struck the city of Edo (now Tokyo), claiming 7,000 lives and inflicting widespread damage. Within days, a new type of color woodblock print known as namazu-e (lit. "catfish pictures") became popular among the residents of the shaken city. These prints featured depictions of mythical giant catfish ( namazu ) who, according to popular legend, caused earthquakes by thrashing about in their underground lairs. In addition to providing humor and social commentary, many prints claimed to offer protection from future earthquakes.
