So $11 buys me: Archer S1, Justified S1, Firefly, Torchwood: Children of Earth, The Fifth Element, Shawshank, Face/Off (the good one)... - TFox Feb 10, 17:54
The other day at the Aquarium, while watching a mantee lounge around the tank, my son informed me: "He wants to watch TV." nm - ralph wiggum Feb 10, 17:45 14
- Was it really a manatee....or a dugong? -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 10, 17:50 8
  - Heh. It was actually a dugong. I just thought manatee was more recognizable to most STers. :) :) nm - ralph wiggum Feb 10, 17:53 7
    - Hee, kinda figured that...but couldn't resist :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 10, 17:54 6
      - "Dugong" is funnier to say too. :) nm - ralph wiggum Feb 10, 17:55 5
        
        Hmm...lettuce. - the liioulu with more cold Feb 10, 17:57 2
        
        That's what the Aquarium feeds them. Lettuce hooked into this plastic grid-like deal to make it stand up staight like seaweed. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 10, 18:00 1
        
        Okay, thought it might be a way for your kidlet to get something else. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with more cold Feb 10, 18:04
        
        "Coming this fall to Nickelodeon, Doug the Dugong" - Reagen Feb 10, 17:57 1
        
        I'm curious as to what dugong might watch on TV. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 10, 17:58
- You should have told him it was the newest thing in 3D TV. - the liioulu with more cold Feb 10, 17:47 4
  - To be clear, he thought the manatee wanted to watch tv. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 10, 17:49 3
    - How do you know it didn't? -- nm - David Feb 10, 17:51 1
      - I suspect it did. They are the couch potatoes of the Aquarium. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 10, 17:54
    - Aaah, in that case he was the tv. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with more cold Feb 10, 17:51
UConn/St. Johns spoilers - prayformojo Feb 10, 17:40 1

A court rules that a merchant can not ask for your Zip code, its an invasion of your privacy and ID -- (link) - zeitgeist Feb 10, 17:24 10
- here's the story - I thought it would be just for places that ask upon checkout to see where people are from; but it's more than that. gas stations - b. Feb 10, 17:34 2
  - says at the bottom that gas stations that ask at the pump are exempt, because it's only used for verification and not recorded. -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 17:41 1
    - I just came back to self-correct - thanks! -- nm - b. Feb 10, 17:44

Local 6-year-old placed on psych hold as a suicide risk... -- (link) - MojaveMeg Feb 10, 17:13 2
- Traumitising a kid so he doesn't want to go back to school is right thing. - the liioulu with more cold Feb 10, 17:26 1
  - yea it would be much better to ignore the kid saying he wanted to kill himself and pretend it didn't happen -- nm - dogbert Feb 10, 17:58
sigh. went to bite into a piece of a verygoodlooking cookie a coworker put out for sharing, took a bite, and felt something really hard in it.. - b. Feb 10, 17:13 [Image] 7

- *thinks about what kind of stuff comes with spray caps like that, air freshner, oven cleaner, bug spray, Pam, various cleaning products - zeitgeist Feb 10, 17:20
- now who's getting everything that's coming to her? -- nm - cupixie Feb 10, 17:15
- I'd ask the vendor where they came from...and follow up. That cap could be off anything - and not necessarily food safe. -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 10, 17:15 2
  - coworker didn't offer who the vendor is, so I'd gather he doesn't want to pursue. oof. - b. Feb 10, 17:19
  - interestingly it is not melted? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Feb 10, 17:18

  - Barbara? -- nm - peglegpete Feb 10, 16:44
  - Is Chocolate a fruit? It grows on trees. Chocolate, (just one Kiss, or little square off a bar and dark only) is supposed to be really good for BP -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 10, 16:25 6
    - It's a bean, and I can't remember if that makes it a fruit. -- nm - the liioulu with more cold Feb 10, 16:30 5
      - I believe the appropriate term is berry, I believe its referred to as a bean cause of its hardness like dried beans (which come from annual vines) -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 10, 16:32 4
        
        Not entirely sure about the berry part either. It might just be a seed. They grow in pods. -- nm - the liioulu with more cold Feb 10, 16:38 3

  - That's amusing ... because if their research is/was accurate, and then antioxidants turn out to be media-driven bullshit, then .... backpedal time! -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 16:23
- "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." -- nm - znufrii Feb 10, 16:20 1
