At least, I’m pretty sure it does. Some time ago, my friend was told by a homeopathically-inclined advisor that oatstraw tea would be a good thing for her. I started looking into it, and my god, this stuff makes you immortal. Among just three pages on oat straw, here are some of the conditions it can improve:
- osteoporosis
- arthritis
- pain relief
- hyperactivity in children
- anxiety in elderly people
- panic attacks
- immune system deficiency
- depression and nervous exhaustion
- bed-wetting
- skin disorders and boils
- insomnia
- kidney problems
- bladder problems
- gall bladder problems
- gout
- thyroid and estrogren deficiency
- multiple sclerosis
- anorexia
- constipation
- pancreatic problems
Just to clarify: This is tea.

How convenient–she can share his closet full of black turtlenecks!

Stumbled into this one, but it’s kind of entertaining.
Try searching Google Images for say, “r.” Why is this the first result? A normal Google search for “r” is actually relevant.
First results for some other letters are a little better:

But could you tell me exactly what the fuck this is all about?

And that’s after doing all this shit. Weak.
UPDATE: It must be a bad extension, because running Firefox in Safe Mode cleared up the problem. I’ve reenabled the bare essential extensions and things seem okay.

I’m taking a stand, right here, right now: Jeans should be allowed in “business casual” environments.
I don’t normally talk about work-related stuff, but I can’t bite my tongue on this one. I have two pairs of identical pants: one pair is blue jeans, the other is tan jeans. Are the tan jeans really that much dressier? I’ve never gotten a comment about them, but people hassle me about the jeans (which are decent, nice looking jeans, by the way).
Here’s the deal: if you wear reasonable quality jeans with a button-down shirt, that should qualify. Yeah? Agree with me here.
By the way, I waded through the internets trying to find some “expert” on business fashion who’d agree with me, but they all said jeans are a no-no. Well, fuck them. That’s why I can’t link to any other sites in this post.

That movie was a real downer, man.

Adam is right. The damn 336×280 AdSense ads took over my blog and made it look like a splog. Hey man, I like money as much as the next guy, but not if it ruins my blog. (Note: Registered users have always been shielded from ads on this site, but I realize it’s a pain in the ass to register.)
I think I’ll cook something up to only show ads on posts older than a month, which will spare my regular readers of that crap. For now, they’re disabled.
I also fixed some feed issues. Had to tidy up around here.
