On the upside, I'll have a little princess.


On the downside, boys. Time to invest in a speargun.

I'm betting she breaks their hearts and leaves them a hollow shell of their former selves. (Can you tell I'm the mom of adolescent boys?

chaoschristian said:

Congrats Prax!

A princess is a treasure worth all the makeup smears on the wallpaper ever.

And you correct, no y chromosone bearing human will be far enough away for comfort.

Maybe it's California girls...they're lethal at any distance.

Lucky until adolescence. And then very, very unlucky. Very.

The trick is to get all the parents of young males to nail them into a barrel at adolescence. You may find it an easy sell

Toe!

Left what is possibly the dorkiest voice message ever on your blog.

Almost as dorky as the fact that I want to translate it.

Congratulations.
Although my mother tells me girls are much harder work and far more obnoxious than boys are.
Can't think why she feels that...

Or Garth Vader.

I tried to leave you a voice message, Toe, but it wouldn't let me.

Me neither..
Doesn't like the anonymous numbers, which is all skype will do.
I left it in writing, you'll just have to imagine me saying it in my best poshest BBC received pronounciation.

Oh CC wins with the best phone message I have ever had ever. Even if it isn't on my real phone and just some random internet thing. And CC, you sound very different from what I was expecting. I don't know why. What is sillier, I was expecting you to sound much more like I would have expected my yellow lab to have sounded like should he ever have taken up speaking English (or Latin).

Oh wait, that means you guys can find the pee blog post.

Hehe, yes indeed.

I don't know quite how to break this to you, Pats my sweet. The coriolis effect is not strong enough to affect water on this planet - it's an urban myth. Local effects, such as water movement and the shape of the vessel containing the liquid have a much greater impact, effectively cancelling out the coriolis effect.

I love learning new mythbusters. Thanks, Prax.

Don't mind me folks. Just posting this here for later usage.

I made absolutely no attempt to disguise my southern Pennsylvanian accent or use my BBC announcer's voice

And I always thought of myself sounding more like a Shelty than a yellow lab, but I think I can understand the yellow lab thing

Did someone mention The Bad Astronomer?

Hey US, you are awake.

Are you the ugly one on the left or the right?

Hey, do you mind not leaving that out in the middle of the hallway like that?

That's Peter Sellers on the left, so the guy on the right must be US.

That's an intersting get up you are wearing there, Chaos.

Hi, don't mind me, I'm just resubscribing.

Thank you. Bill Griffith would call it the Dirt Ball American look.

Bill Griffith was also the name of a philosophy professor I had in college. The cartoonist is the wittier of the two.

You look someone waiting in line for Star Wars VII.
