Does pregnancy make women stupid? The sacrifices they make. Fortunately, it seems to be temporary.

Child Of The Corn
This guy needs to turn in his man card:
A man used his cellphone to call from Connors Farm in Danvers at about 7 p.m. Tuesday after he, his wife and two children became lost in the maze, police said.
You’d think his wife would have asked for directions.
Political Advice
…from Captain Kirk:
Don’t compare President Barack Obama to Captain James T. Kirk.
That’s what William Shatner told CNN’s Ali Velshi when asked to respond to suggestions that Obama should act less like “Spock” and more like “Captain Kirk”.
Shatner said the comparisons are “unfair” because “Mr. Obama has the onerous burden of obeying the constitution [and] Captain Kirk was captain of everybody’s fate. He was a dictator”.
Funny, I hadn’t noticed that he was all that concerned about that pesky document, myself.

What I Saw At The Revolution
A report from the front lines:
In truth, those camped out in Zuccotti Park are running a commune more than a protest. They have established a small communitarian village, which is punctuated by a small cabal of the angry, the insane, and the ignorant. Nothing I have seen is representative of a serious movement, and even less is indicative of any substantive thought. John Maynard Keynes is nowhere to be seen; instead, Occupy Wall Street has become an irresistible magnet for performance artists with generic grievances, and those who consider Stéphane Hessell’s absurd pamphlet, Indignez vous!, to be a serious rallying cry. So prevalent are these types, in fact, that a significant portion of those in attendance might as well be wearing t-shirts announcing, I’m Only Here For The Drum Circle And Organic Arugula.
As he says, they’re not the 99%. They’re not even the one percent.

An Irreproducible Result
I’m not sure that the conclusion follows from this paper.
I haven’t checked all the math, though.

Isn’t it funny how a common word can start to look really weird, even foreign and meaningless, when you see it enough times?
Spoke A Little Too Soon
It didn’t all go into the drink — they found the biggest piece in Calgary. Kind of amazing that they found it. Of course, those pieces of Skylab falling in the Outback were fortuitous (or something) to end up so close to a town as well.
The Canadians seem to have bad luck with falling space crap. Of course, they have a lot of land area.
At least it wasn’t radioactive this time.
[Update later afternoon]
It was a hoax (see comments).
