You see these along the Oregon coast. Sort of a complicated logo (usually you get something like a neckless guy vaguely doing something in warning signs–this is pretty specific).

Careful where you fly them. There’s way to do the same thing with far-less romantic dry-cleaning bags. Also, make your own fireproof paper or buy some here. But mostly I can’t get over how pretty [...]

And I’m not even counting the UFO theories and dumb stuff like that. Scientists still disagree: asteroid, comet, or earthly belch of methane? I get the feeling no one believes the “tiny [...]
Leon Kass, head of President’s Council on Bioethics until 2005, feels public ice cream licking is disgusting and undignified. Worst of all from this point of view are those more uncivilized forms of eating, like licking an ice cream cone–a catlike activity that has been made acceptable in informal America but that still offends those [...]
