I approve of this, in part because it’s refreshing to see a 60’s sitcom where one can believe the couple actually had sex. But it produced a question which has been bothering me, lo, these many days, even to interfering with [...]

A friend of mine did a rather weird interview with me. If you’re interested, it can be found here.

So, I just joined my fan club on Facebook. Is that, um, weird?
Urban myths, gullability, conclusions
June 7th, 2009 · 12 Comments
It started with reading the sidebar of Making Light–a habit I encourage. On “PNH’s Sidelights”, I came across this. It’s brief, take a moment to read it.
