Lizzy L. was mentioning the "whole body option" up above (I think it was Lizzy). This is how I'm going. I refuse to let anyone stick what will be a perfectly good cadaver in the ground to get all icky and useless. Medical students definitely need stuff to work with, and there are *never* enough cadavers available, *anywhere*.

Everything inside me that is of any possible use to anyone will be removed and sent where it's needed, and afterwards, the rest will be soaked in the necessary preservatives and ung up on a hook in a nice plastic bag in the nearest available medical school. (What, I should pay to ship it *home?* Silly idea.)

Maybe it's the nurse in me, but I find it cheerful to think that the physical bit will continue to be useful after I'm done with it. That's what I am, I guess: a member of the Church of Utilitarianism.

...But mostly I'm bewildered. How can the Muses' need be more urgent than ours?

I think the decision from the Court of No Appeal came down: the one on the non-discrimination suit. They had to hire a male, stat. And so they did...

Ten years ago, almost, the Boskone people asked me to do something for the program book for Mike's GoH appearance. The text is here, for those who might like to have a look. It's pretty much all I can say right now.

Ohhh...crap.

(peering out from under the covers) Is The Day That's In It over yet? Can I come out and talk about Belgian food now? :)

Oh, God, the idiocy of some people / organizations.

Let us know if there's anything we can do to assist at the European end. In particular, if that Belgian source isn't just reselling of stocks that are going to go away, maybe we can assist in getting some in for you -- as fetch & carry folks if nothing else.
