Long day, short set o' links

Worked just about 8:30-8:30 today. Would've finished earlier, but again some work had to be done in the ceiling of an occupied office. :P

On the way home, felt like I was biking through a light haze of gnats for the duration of my proximity to the trees and lake, and occasionally for the rest of the trip. Ick.

The Funny:

From futuregirl (originally from a whole page of such jollity from CMU): Leprosy haiku!
"We are holding hands.
Our fingers intertwine - hey!
Come back here with that!"

From reabhecc: Harvard only wishes it were Vassar--they're getting a campus-sponsored erotica publication because they liked Vassar's. :D But, as Megs notes, Harvard probably won't have sponsored erotica readings with chocolate fondue. :)

The Serious:

From tonyz21: Response by the AIDS Action Committee to an uninformed writer who thinks that standing up for homosexuality equals promoting AIDS.

weyakin notes that the greatest threats before humanity today might just be a little more important than GWB's claim of "WMDs."

sebatical notes that "emergency laws" to counter unfavorable-to-the-legislature court rulings might just go against the system of checks and balances we're supposed to have in the U.S.

Almost 10pm, time to eat dinner! Lunch was done by 12:20, after all.

Update, 10:35: Mmm, appetizer of Chilli Tang Dorito Dippas (they're not triangular!) and Mexican Bean Dip, which may be either 98% or 99% fat-free, depending on whether you believe the lid or the label; dinner of potato & bacon soup; drink of orange & mango juice. Possibly dessert of gelato & ice cream in my future.

Uploaded the photos of the 18-paddler-plus-coach "dragon boat" and 6-paddler outrigger canoe I saw yesterday. Curious!
