Wired: new evidence suggests that 10000 years of volcanic eruptions, not an asteroid, killed the dinosaurs.

Possibly.  Though the "the asteroid didn't do it" bit is pretty much accepted by this point, outside of pop culture.

Well yes, otherwise it wouldn't be that interesting that someone's challenging it.

Though I'm just old enough to remember dinosaur books that listed the asteroid theory alongside a handful of other possible explanations as equally plausible.

How badass a way was that to go extinct, though?

Creating a sun on earth... Upon reading it fully, that article was not nearly as terrifying as the title led me to believe.

Resolutions harm you.

I can never think of any good resolutions anyway.  Things like "get in shape" or "be more social" come to mind, but I then always remember that if I didn't do anything to move towards either thislast year, why the hell would I nextthis one.

I just try to gradually improve over time, regardless of what day it is.

I saw Lewis Black last night and he had a good bit about that in his routine.  "Don't give me this 'next year is going to be the BEST YEAR EVER' crap.  I'm sixty.  It's going to be just like every OTHER fucking year!"

That sounds like new material. Didja see him in concert or at a club somewhere? Hope this is a sign he is putting out a new album soon  :8D:

Saw him at the Dodge Theater, a major concert venue.  I assume the New Year's Eve material was mainly used because it was New Year's Eve, though the kvetching about his age is presumably part of the regular act.

His newest album was released just four months ago (and his latest book came out a couple months before that), but I would expect his material from this tour is bound to show up somewhere at some point.

Interesting. I have never really thought about it but hunters usually want the coolest animals to mount on their walls and the most fearsome and cool looking ones are probably usually the best of their species. It makes sense. Hopefully someone comes up with a fix for that before we gimp too many species.
