Hey Erin, Alton says “Hi!”

28 04 2008

We went to a meet-n-greet with Alton Brown this afternoon.  He is a very informative man.  He is a very funny man.  He is a very wise man.  How do I know he is wise, you ask?  Because he didn’t say anything I disagreed with.

 

More photos to phollow.

And he really did say “Hi” to you, E.

Humans nearly wiped out 70,000 years ago, study says

25 04 2008

From CNN:

“… apparently because of drought, according to an analysis released Thursday.”

“The report notes that a separate study by researchers at Stanford University estimated that the number of early humans may have shrunk as low as 2,000 before numbers began to expand again in the early Stone Age.”

Who knew early humans were so hard on their environment?  They must have learned their lesson, though.  They obliterated all traces of their pollution-emitting SUVs and developed a greener technology.

Here’s an artist’s depiction of what a Stone Age ecologically sound car probably looked like.

Girls, it pains me to report… oh heck…I take pleasure in reporting that your mother was heard to laugh out loud several times while watching Southpark last night.

It’s true, she’s gone over to the (ahem) Park Side.
