My first copy of "A Christmas Carol" was illustrated by Searle. And that's how I always remember the characters. And I have to say, Patrick Stewart looks *nothing* like Scrooge ;)
The FBI and other federal organizations spent millions of dollars investigating and prosecuting members of groups like Earth First, and Greenpeace who never harmed people, only property; while Timothy McVeigh and Osama bin Laden walked around free. "Never forget" that.
Norwegians (heck, all Scandinavians) are pretty awesome. :D I keep thinking that North America would have been a much better place had the Eriksson gang stuck it out, made peace with the Skraelings, and been the leaders of European settlement in the New World instead of the Spaniards and their competition. I mean, look at Minnesota! Er. Don't look at Michele Bachmann. No, no, don't look. Turn away!
In this world where absolutely everything is politicized, it surprises me not that this sort of spin is being pushed by Yale, the Establishment's training center. The subtext is, "Everything is going to be fine, we can do whatever we want!" Reprehensible.
Bamboo's pretty tough. A typical road crash might not damage it at all. I suspect some serious mountain-bike pounding might be able to generate some hazardous splinters though.

I have a bunch of sci-fi sound bites on my computer that I use for error messages. My favorite is Robot going "What you have done, is wrong!"

I had jook that I made in the slow cooker. It's a Chinese rice 'n' ground meat soup, kinda. Ginger, soy sauce, scallions.
