Do you know what my computer is doing? I will tell you. When I turn it on, the Windows logo won't even come up; instead the disk drive chugs and the cursor flashes very quickly across a blank screen. It looks kind of like the spaceship computers in Godzilla Versus Monster Zero. A few reboots will get it to load, but this doesn't bode well. I need to take it in, but first I must do my taxes and send manuscripts to be rejected by magazines with circulations in the low thousands.

Beware the Bar-S: they're recalling 14.5 million pounds of meat and poultry out of suspicion that it might contain Listeria monocytogenes. Now that I'm keeping my eyes open for this stuff, it happens all the time. Cf. mercury in fish, brain-eating worm in a taco, E. coli in beef not cooked enough and carcinogens in beef cooked too much. These are all headlines from the last couple days. So yes, I've moved on to strict vegetarian: i.e., eating nothing with eyes.

Secret formula SR141716 partially blocks the effects of smoked marijuana. Can anyone think of a situation in which this would have practical use?
