September 19th, 2006:
Amy and Alice both sent me a link to this article on dinosaur sex, which is both educational and entertaining. For example: "[Dinosaur] mating had to be done with great delicacy and great precision. It must have been utterly charming to watch, quite unlike our own species.". It also calls dinosaurs "the planet's most successful lovers", so I guess I should say sorry to everyone who was gunning for a title like that. It is already taken.

One year ago today: who would have thought this 'who can be the better fake panhandler' competition would reflect poorly on us?
