I was attacked by a crow on the way in to work this morning, I think.

When I was about halfway to work, as I was about to cross a street, I saw a crow on the other side in the yard of one of the buildings. As I went past, it flew up into a nearby tree and started cawwing like crazy. Then it swooped down and flew right over my head. It did this at least four or five times before it finally stopped following me down the sidewalk. It was close enough that I probably could have reached up and hit it or grabbed it, assuming it didn't dodge or something. I'm guessing there was a nest or something nearby.

The whole rest of the time I was walking the work, I'd occasionally hearing a crow calling and I'd look up and see one circling overhead a few hundred feet. Don't know if it was the same crow or if it called in its friends or what.

Sarah Palin has a movie?

It's apparently called The Undefeated (which is ironic since, you know, she was totally defeated in 2008). Sounds like it might be one of those fictional "based on a true story" movies.

All I can say in response to this is "What." followed by a lengthy pause and then "Yeah.... no, I totally won't be going to see this." I'm certain there will be plenty out there who will suck this crap right up through a straw and ask for seconds, though.

Project Steve

When I read about it in this Cracked article, I initially thought that the requirement that all of the scientists in question be named some variant of "Stephen" was just a joke that Cracked had pulled out of its ass.

I shouldn't have doubted though, because it's completely real. One of them is Stephen Hawking.
