And of course
Danny Choo

This is a pretty interesting series: What I know about men. (Found via Melissa Gira by Dita Von Tesse’s take on men.)
(Oh, Dita Von Tesse is so pretty… I love her style!)
It’s a series of interviews with famous gay men and straight women of varying marital status and age who have been in rather interesting [...]
I went back to look at how the ballista was doing (it was all over boingboing the other day). I noticed that the Q&A section was getting some funny questions and equally funny answers:
Questions from other members : Full size replica Roman siege catapult (ballista)
Q: If the catapult where to fire again would there be enough room to load a cow?
A: Does your mother in law know that you have plans for her? If however you are referring to the bovine variety there are some points to consider with regard to ammunition. Firstly the ballista has a fairly narrow launch channel designed to accommodate a stone ball of about 350mm diameter which is launched by a sling behind the it. Clearly a cow would require a much larger ‘slipway’ and of course a sling of equal proportions. In addition, whilst festering cows were a favourite in times of siege to spread disease amongst the enemy I have a feeling that these days there might be certain conventions controlling the use of biological weapons. However adaptation of the ballista to accommodate dysfunctional relatives is a possibility.
The End of Art by Roger Kimball
Man is the sort of creature whose nature is to delight in art and aesthetic experience; I believe that he is also, by nature, a religious animal—a creature who becomes who he really is only by acknowledging something that transcends him.
I hope this never comes to pass. (PS. You’re going to need to read his article first before reading the following.)
Let me highlight what he suggests:
1) More “joys of the family” propaganda. As if we didn’t have to endure enough of it. (Which I think also contradicts the 2nd point, explained below.)
2) Single mothers should [...]

This writer is good, it definitely grabbed my attention when he talked about how the college attempted to rank their departments and found their philosophy department came up tops. In disbelief, they tried again and it still came up with the same result. BWAHAHAH! You show ‘em Jolley!
