Swiss to wrap glaciers in foil: Is this like toilet papering a house, only different?

What the Hell?!: Jesus was a furry. A special, sacrilegious Easter edition which explains where the Easter bunny and all those eggs come from.

Ship Of Gay, Nude Passengers Barred From St. Kitts: I'm not certain what I'd think if a few hundred flamboyant naked people descended upon my hometown. It would certainly be interesting, though.

Octopuses occasionally stroll around on two arms, UC Berkeley biologists report: Nifty!

Banksy Hits New York's Most Famous Museums (All of them): What's the opposite of an art thief? It could be Banksy. The BBC has an article, too (thanks, Benoit).

Holy chocolate makes debut: Chocolate crosses. Yum (thanks, g026r).

Capitol bill aims to control ‘leftist’ profs: Does your prof disagree with you? Well, you might be given the right to sue. "Students who believe their professor is singling them out for “public ridicule” – for instance, when professors use the Socratic method to force students to explain their theories in class – would also be given the right to sue." This is downright creepy.

I'm so good.

I biked up the hill without needing to stop today. That's my personal indicator that I'm ready to do distance biking again. Maybe I'll go for a long jaunt on Monday.

And when I got to work, there was free cheesecake. I didn't take a piece. After all, I'd already had a chicken cookie today. That's my junk food for the week.

Long live my diet. No, it's not an oh-my-God-I'm-so-fat sort of diet. It's a let's-eat-optimally diet. So far, it's working very well for me, although other people turn up their noses at the things which I think are tasty. They don't have to eat it. I'm choosing this for myself.

Work is shaping up to be nice and slow tonight. I like it this way. Maybe I'll be able to practice some dance isolation drills between calls....

In the meantime, if you feel like writing to me and giving me some conversation during my slow points, that would be nifty, too!
