Re-reading my favorite parts of one of my favorite books The Voyage of the Beagle. When people like my maternal grandmother tell me they don't like Darwin, I tell them how this book reads like a wonderful extended National Geographic style travelogue covering biology, sociology, anthropology, history, geography, and alas a lot of wholescale animal slaughter.  But I remind myself that except for some of the turtles those beasts would be dead by now anyway. (Though bashing the friendly fox who came up on the hill and sat next to you still ranks as a dick move, Chuck.)

I've been rereading Phil Farrand's Nitpicker's Guides. Here's a fun fact. You know the popular perception regarding TNG how, in spite of the Enterprise supposedly being crewed by the best and brightest in Starfleet, they always have to be saved by that snot-nosed punk Wesley Crusher. But how often has he really done so? The answer is seven. That's right, only seven times. For the record, the episodes in question were The Naked Now, The Battle, The Big Goodbye, The Enemy, The High Ground, Menage a Troi, and The Game.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
