Synchronicity

So - I heard about THIS STORY via Maripat, and then I switched windows to read the next Unshelved in the archives (Thank you, Uncle Monster!), and this was it:

Heh. Oh, and be careful about getting started on Unshelved. There are five years worth of comics to catch up on, and it’s a little addictive. Pace yourself.

Wow - can you imagine the therapist bills after THIS?

Some interesting reading regarding HFCS.

Yesterday’s article re: the Sickening and Stinky Meteorite and today’s.

You got LOLcats in my Post Secrets. No, you got Post Secrets in my LOLcats. Now you can have both at LOLsecretz.

–even PJ can’t find a title to headline this–

The Saudis haven’t prosecuted any of those known by the U.S. and others to be terror
financiers. Some of them are still well-known, well-respected, prominent figures in Saudi Arabia, according to report.

I’m not shocked. You’re not shocked. Who *is* shocked by this I wonder?
