Quote of the day: 'Sexercise'

From the following article on pandas, a particular fascination of mine it appears...

"The innovative methods used to encourage the pandas to procreate – including, artificial insemination, special diets, 'sexercise' classes and even Viagra – are the subject of a BBC documentary narrated by Sir David Attenborough to be screened this week."

The story also has an adorable set of photographs of researchers dressing up as pandas in order to avoid imprinting the cubs. Furries FTW!

Quote of the day

"Can we look ourselves in the face and say we have given proper weight to the Miley Cyrus-Hannah Montana dichotomy? I don't think so."

--David Brooks, discussing the lack of bi-coastal American pop-culture coverage over at the NYTimes with Gail Collins. So snarky!

Quote of the day

"Sweeney explained his fondness for the man hug."

I would share a man hug with Mike Sweeney (or any of the Phillies, for that matter) any day.

Quote of the day

"We can see some nice cracked edges that do look very much like a bullet hole."

Nice is not an adjective one thinks of when describing a bullet hole, generally. Anthropologists are just so damn quirky, gotta love 'em!

The ACTUAL Quote of the day

"Watch Donald get gored."

Having just toured several national parks, this holds a bit more weight...I knew I should have been filming those kids around the desert centipede at Carlsbad Caverns...

And this sentence sums up the entire article -

...in an effort to home in on “contributing factors (technology)” to park accidents, the service recently felt compelled to add “inattention to surroundings” to more old-fashioned causes like “darkness” and “animals.”
