There seems to be an occasional bug that creates an infinite loop of opening dialog boxes. If this happens to you, don’t panic. Hold down the Enter key on your keyboard and it should reset the page for you shortly.
Between this bug and the autoplay nature of the home page, it makes it impossible to keep the site open in your browser, tho.

Note: This is an experiment. I’ve cross posted this link to my Facebook and Twitter accounts, so sorry if I’ve spammed your intarwebs with it today (although I refrained from posting it at Linked In, in case a powerful Amish CEO was perusing my bio).
Buffalo x 8
First of all, Wikipedia has done more for me over the years than anti-fungal ointment, and depending on if you smelled my shoes when I had athlete’s foot (actually, if you were in any enclosed space with my shoes, you most likely did smell them), that’s saying an awful lot.
Secondly, it took me a good fifteen minutes to truly understand this (grammatically correct) sentence: Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo
I’m totally using that for a class, because in the Thai language, calling someone a buffalo is a hugely insulting and funny thing, and “buffalo” is one English word every Thai person knows. Just mentioning it in class will produce immediate and long-lasting laughter, for students of any age. So I’m afraid it might take a whole class to parse this sentence properly.

Philippine fishermen net and eat rare megamouth shark
My initial reaction when I read the headline was that of disgust, but I guess the main question is whether the animal would have gone to waste if they hadn’t eaten it… Would the WWF have preserved it for study? If so, why didn’t they offer to buy it? Would the fisherman have gone hungry if they hadn’t eaten it?
Psychedelico
Max and I have shared a truly bonding experience in the Boohbah Zone.
Go check it out, especially if you like tablas loops and screaming frogs.
Where the Wild Things Are – Trailer
Right here.
(It kept crashing for me in Firefox but worked fine in Chrome. I’m using the QuickTime Alternative plugin though, so it just might be me.)
My brother was quick to send over a copy of this book soon after Max was born since (A) it was one of our favorites when we were little, (B) because it was one of the first books featured on Reading Rainbow, and (C) the protagonist is of the story is also named Max.
