Assorted Thoughts 24: Posts! Posts Everywhere! Or At Least Right Here.

• Left 4 Dead has definitely made too large of an impression on me.  Any time I enter a mall now, I feel naked without automatic weapons, shrieking babies sound uncannily like Hunters, and I'm always surprised at the lack of weapons caches and pipe bombs.
• It makes me happy that there is a scholarly journal entitled "Harmful Algae."  Research will be done on everything we can find and written up in increasingly obscure publications that are absurdly specific!
• Wondering how to make plants exciting?  Offer a class called "Plants of the Bible and Quran."  Clearly.  Goddamn botanists.
• Fun fact: Taco Bell "Fire Sauce" lists soy sauce as one of its ingredients.  Not making this up.  None of their other sauces contain it, though they all have soy in some form.
• I feel I have a right to complain about the local humidity when I step out of a building and my glasses fog up.
• Superheroes do it with masks on.
• Also, with spandex.  Just pointed out to me.
• Amusing rhyming phrase of the day: harpoon a baboon.
