One more nail in the coffin for the TSA… and I thought allowing knitting needles was weird.

Worth the read. Now get back to work! ;)
Young Phillies Fan Instructs The Crowd When To Cheer
I’m apparently way behind the crowd on this one, because the folks at work told me they first saw this clip on Jimmy Kimmel.
Context: Will is two and a half. His folks have taught him the ever present “How big is Will? So big!” game where little ones are taught to raise their arms in the air and Mom and Dad cheer that they’re so big.
But they’re at the Phillies parade, waiting for it to start. Now, how the crowd on the other side of the street got involved I’ll probably never know, but when Will raises his arms to show how big he is, the whole block cheers.
If this doesn’t make you smile, well, I’m not sure what will. Best with sound.
Not playful at all. Why do you ask?
Oh, I see, it’s going to be that kind of day.
How tired am I? I made a comic last night and forgot to upload it. And then I didn’t notice until 3:15 pm. Sad.
Not just wintergreen life savers
So I’m lying in bed in a pitch dark room listening to the dogs settle, and a little flash catches my attention. After the third grey light dented the darkness, I peered over the edge of my mattress.
Chance was “fluffing” the blankets in his bed that he was building up a static charge between the fuzzy bed, the wooly-feeling dig blanket, and the terrycloth towel he’s recently decided he owns. And the more he got zapped, the harder he fluffed the bed.
I finally removed the blankets – discharging them through my fingers, I might add – and he wetted settled when I re-covered him.
But if he’s smoking in the morning, I’ll know why…

Google Uses Web Searches to Track Flu’s Spread
Think you’re coming down with the flu? If you’re like a growing trend, you’re googling “flu symptoms” and similar terms before you’re calling the doctor. The result: Google can tell where the flu is spreading based on what regions are doing the searching.
Just thinking about it gives me a sore throat ;)
