- Asbestos Found At Air And Space Museum
- Steve Martin backing banned play
Well, now I want to know more about the play — but kudos to Martin for putting his money where his mouth is. - The ecological disaster that is dolphin safe tuna « Southern Fried Science
Well. That’s … irksome. - Franklin P. Adams

It’s irrational, but I like it! - “You Will Like Him When He’s Angry” – Jon Stewart Annihilates Jim Cramer

Agreed — I’m very disappointed by this. Unless there’s some aspect of this I’m not clear on, this lack of transparency is not what we need, or what we were promised. - A Better PDF Reader
I’ve been using FoxIt Reader for several months now, and find it perfectly satisfactory (and much faster to load). Some MS programs that use Adobe PDF’s new Flash-like features cause a problem, but those are few and far between for the moment. - 10 Annoying Habits of a Geeky Spouse
Mercifully, Margie is enough of a geek to forgive me (most) of my sins. - Is Watchmen a box office disappointment? – Den of Geek

It’s fonterrific, and very cool. - Penn Jillette on legalizing pot: Cory Doctorow
