Suborning the other two local family members with a Tofurky. I've been curious about them for years, like some of the other products the company makes, and am not a cook beyond the basics. Which almost makes me sad today, because of all the tasty-sounding recipes posted above. Hmm, maybe I'll see if the friend I'm teaching to crochet will swap cooking lessons...

Technically speaking, that bump is the external occipital protuberance. But occipital bun works too.

Does she realize she would be disenfranchising herself, should her fantasy become real?

I think a large contributing factor to the fury about Frey's book is the subject matter: recovery from substance abuse. In particular, recovery without using a 12-step, powerless-over-my-addictions framework.

For some people, in other words, it's more than "oops, I lied" on his part - it's a betrayal, and one less reason to make the effort to stay clean.

Yes, I got the vanishing links bug - but if I held off and didn't touch any of the links until the page had completely loaded, it worked fine. [Safari 2.0.1]

"Turned down offers of help."

*stunned silence*

That goes beyond stupidity, malice, criminal negligence... I thought nothing that this administration could do would ever surprise me again, but I was so, so wrong.

I don't know. It looks like the Urim and the Thummim aren't Windows compatible.

Anyone know if they work with Mac or Linux?

I'll hazard a guess that be like Boyd refers to Boyd K. Packer, but beyond that you'll probably have to ask a refugee with a y chromosome.

Looks like I'm leaning to long on the keyboard this morning - strike that second 'n' in the second instance of Linear and that second copy of my post. [Of course this happens here, when I'm trying to be extra careful. Can I blame my cat?]

Some of inscription 1 look a little like Linear B - or at least a little like the representation of Linnear B given here.
Caveat: my eye is untrained, and I'm comparing two computer-reproduced examples of presumably written script.
