Assorted Thoughts 47: Guess Who Never Seems To Update Edition

• My latest genius idea for making my fortune: combining Choose Your Own Adventure books with Mad Libs.
• A song that wasn't popular in the '80s but should have been: "Gargoyles Just Want To Have Fun."
• It's hard to avoid the conclusion that your lab is filled with nerds when it's noticed that three of you are humming the National Geographic theme while cleaning the wet lab.
• Kermit the Organ Frog: It's not easy being spleen.
• What is lich?
• Baby don't turn me, don't turn me, no more.
• Subtitled for the nerd impaired.
• Did you hear about the rules fetishist? He got off on a technicality.
• I recently seriously changed my meds up for the first time in around a decade.  This is pretty cool, because it means I don't need to be doped to the gills to vaguely approximate a human being.  I'm really rather miffed, though, because apparently it broke my one superpower.  Since it has un-borked my metabolism a bit, I can no longer sleep forever.  Being able to zonk out for 14 hours at a stretch without effort was something I actually enjoyed.
• The platypus is one of a very few venomous mammals.  Male platypuses have a venomous spur on their hind limbs.  Being stung by a platypus is apparently not fatal, but might hurt enough to make you wish it was.  If I have to die at some point, I'd want to be stung to death by a platypus.  Both to be able to say I was the one person to get killed by being stung by an egg-laying mammal, but also so that anyone who saw my obituary or tombstone (because you'd better believe that would go on the tombstone) would have to lie awake at night wondering what the hell I had done to that platypus to earn such a fate.
