I loved every minute of it.
It's not art. It's not supposed to be.
Who the FUCK would expect there to be a silica gel pack in a bag of pumpkin seeds, anyway???

It starts with the example of Suzanne Somers, who in January appeared on Oprah to talk about what she does to stay young. As Newsweek (whose story merits quoting) reported, "Each morning, the 62-year-old actress and self-help author rubs a potent estrogen cream into the skin on her arm. She smears progesterone on her other arm two weeks a month. And once a day, she uses a syringe to inject estrogen directly into her vagina."
The article continues, "The idea is to use these unregulated `bio-identical' hormones to restore her levels to what they were when she was in her 30s, thus fooling her body into thinking she's a younger woman." It is noted that Somers claims the hormones, synthesized from plants, are natural and risk free; Newsweek's writer rightly takes issue with the last point. Somers told Oprah that every day she takes some 60 vitamin pills – 40 supplements in the morning, 20 more before going to bed. She begins the day with injections of vitamin B12, the human growth hormone and, Newsweek reports, "wears `nanotechnology patches' to help her sleep, lose weight and promote `overall detoxification.'" After drinking wine she boosts her liver by taking vitamin C intravenously; Somers has chelation therapy to clean her blood if she breathes cigarette smoke.

Robot love? Sure.
The sick bond between a codger and a fat cubscout in a floating house? Not so much.
It's too bad he's doomed.
As he jumped up on my leg, his owner informed me that he has cancer, and she truly hopes that he'll make it to his third birthday in June.
And then went on at length about the homeopathic treatments and flax seed oil she's using to cure him.
Outlook not so good.

Ill-fated fridge cleanup sickens 28 in San Jose
A downtown San Jose building was evacuated and 28 people were sickened Tuesday after an employee trying to clean a refrigerator filled with rotting food mixed two chemicals, releasing noxious fumes, authorities said.
The incident forced the evacuation of 325 people from the AT&T building at 3475 N. First St. shortly before noon, said Fire Department Capt. Barry Stallard. Paramedics treated 28 people for symptoms that included vomiting and nausea, and seven of them were taken to hospitals, Stallard said.
The problems began when an employee on the second floor opened a refrigerator that had been unplugged and found rotting food inside, Stallard said. She moved the fridge to a conference room and used a cleaning fluid to get rid of the mess.
The woman, who was suffering from a sinus problem and couldn't smell the chemical, then used a second solution, Stallard said. The two chemicals interacted in the air, adding to an already pungent odor caused by the rotten food.
"Discarding the food isn't so critical, but more critical is the cleaning chemical, making sure you know what you're using," Stallard said. "Don't combine chemicals - you're never supposed to combine chemicals."
