Anne reminded me yesterday that I’d never truly ended the Alpaca/Landsquid/Sky Shark battle in any sort of fashion. For those of you too lazy to go and find the results of the poll (myself included), here’s how things resolved themselves.
When Science Goes Stale
Last night, my husband and I watched Jurassic Park. To make you all feel as old as I do, Jurassic Park came out eighteen years ago, in 1993. I probably haven’t watched it in a decade, but I remember being
