Posted in HEH, VIDEO DU JOUR, WTF? on March 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Holy Mackerel! Having been on a few flights in recent weeks where we landed, not to mention took off, in heavy crosswinds — and lived to tell the tale — I thought I would post this video (I haven’t posted a video du jour in a long while). There’s something a bit unsettling to me [...]

I’m Inclined To Believe Floyd Landis

Posted in GEEKDOM, HEH, LIFE SCIENCES, WTF? on July 30, 2006 | Comments Off

Having said that, if he’s bluffing and doping was the case it’s a dark day for cycling. But I think he’s clean, and the WSJ published an intelligent piece.
