xena the planet

LESBIANS IN SPACE?
Astronomers have discovered that the planet Xena, thought to be our solar system's tenth planet, appears to have its own moon, which they nick-named Gabrielle. No, I'm not making this up, the scientists really named them after the lesbian-ish warrior couple from the cult TV series (planet Xena's official name is 2003 UB313, but "Xena" is just so much catchier).

Xena and Gabrielle orbit the sun beyond Pluto in a band known as the Kuiper Belt, a swath that is home to comets, asteroids, and other space rocks. And the yet-to-be-discovered planet-moon pair Willow and Tara.

check the images

and when you thought incompetence had a limit...

... you open the main brasilian newspaper and read: the american federal government assured the retired and goverment workers from new orleans they will get paid. checks will be sent to the post offices.

important questions, floating (sorry for the bad pun) anyone's mind - or at least mine and the journalist's:

- if the city is evacuated, parially floaded, and destroyed, how will people go to the post office?
- if the post offices are obviously closed, since the city is being evacuated, and people can't work unless they want a good but not so healthy amount of illnessess, who is going to be there to give people their checks?
- american banking system, as far as i know, is local. if you lived in new orleans your bank for sure is not going to work, so how are you supposed to cash your check? and i guess they will have to try to remember how things were done 30 years ago BC - before computers - so lets hope washington remembers to send also boards for check marks ("john smith, paid, mary stuart, dead"). it cannot be that hard, considering the equipament used for voting.
- if the orders are to not let anyone get in the city, will you have to join the army or such for cashing your check?
- and last, but not least, when does the bush impeachment process starts?????

cats scoffing on gravity

a silly and cuddly post after not saying anything for lack of time to stop here and think of anything of interest.

if you live with them you often see them doing bizarreness around, but to register it is more complex.

denise was once able to register the moment viola became THE BEAST. me, i am not talented like that, cats always look melow in my images...

tom cruise knows psychiatry better than anyone!

he knows it all .

isn't it great, when, quoting mrs. dorothy parker, we get so easilly to learn the opinions of an actor who "runs the whole gamut of emotions from A to B"? the newest display of intelect of this great star is his discussion on psychiatry using as arguments his scientology, which seems to prove there is not such thing as chemical imbalance, nor at least that can't be fixed by vitamins(???) and exercises(???!!!). as far as i remember this is the kind of philosophy that killed katherine mansfield...

and there are people who wonder why some countries ban their religions... if you are depressed, easy cure: run (don't walk, run) to the nearest cinema playing mr. cruise's movie, and watch it. if you still don't feel less depressed, just jump off a bridge, and that will cure everything - chemichal imbalance, depression, lack of vitamins, and even living in a world tom cruise is alowded to speak in public...

in the meanwhile, a bit up north...

...in canada...

way to go, florida!

a nuts decide she doesnt want to debate queer literature with her daughter and this happens.

unlearn

denise went to toronto for the weekend and got me a tshirt from unlearn. very cute designs and a great concept behind it.

testing the new pictures thing
