This is interesting. A seventeen-year-old girl who has the biological age of one year old. The question is, how does development relate to aging? What will happen to her in another forty or fifty years? It would be nice to not have to wait that long to discover the secret. And of course, it’s tough luck that she didn’t get stuck in a seventeen-year-old’s body.

A Scientific Experiment
I can conclude, based on two samples, that cats don’t like refried beans.
This is actually good news, since at least one of them sleeps on a pillow by my head.
North Korean Jokes
More disturbing than hilarious.

Johnnie Cash, She’s Not
A woman was arrested in Plover, Wisconsin, for shooting people with a blowgun, because she “liked to hear them say ‘ouch.'”
I guess that’s the difference between Reno and Plover.
[Update later afternoon]
McGehee has the song about the saga in comments (with a slight mod by me):
When she was just a baby,
Her mama told her, “Sweetheart,
Always be a good girl
And don’t shoot blowgun darts.”
But she shot some folks in Plover,
Just to hear them say “Ouch.”
Now the state’s going to remand her
To a psychiatrist’s couch.
That’ll be Top Forty material all the way from Wausau to Waukesha.
And Now For Something Completely Different
A weightless dog.
He (or she) doesn’t seem that upset about it. Probably not the first time.

Physician, Heal Thyself
John Conyers says that the “tea baggers” have an anger problem. And a rationality one:
“We are here now to understand the frustration of the tea baggers and the people who are angry,” said Conyers. “Many times when you’re angry, your rational abilities are compromised.”
Well, Rep. Conyers must have spent his entire life in a state of rage, then. Apparently his wife is the brains in that family. And that’s no compliment to her.

This should be magnetted on every refrigerator door.

…against the metabolically challenged:
Dead man denied seat on plane
This seems quite unfair. After all, if he were in Chicago, he’d be able to vote.
And Here I Thought It Already Was
Especially the most recent three. Star Wars as a comedy series.
Eeeeeewwwwww
There must have definitely been alcohol involved. A man was arrested in Punxsatawney for attempting to resuscitate a dead possum via mouth to mouth:
Levier says the animal already had been dead a while.
Break out the tic tacs. Maybe he thought it was Phil the Groundhog.
Though, actually the arrest was for public drunkenness. There’s apparently no statute in Pennsylvania concerning the osculation of deceased marsupials.
