That Fish Smell
I swear there is no conspiracy between the Matthew Alice Corporation and City Beat. It's just one of those random events in the universe, where two smelly fish objects are on separate trajectories, co-existing for millennia, until one day the powers of mathematics cause them to suddenly collide and break into a flurry of fish columns. It might never happen again in our lifetimes, so just be glad you were here to see it.— September 24, 2009 7:39 p.m.
Chollas Lake Towers, TSA Confiscations
Rebecca's seeing the red lights from the Clear Channel towers.— September 17, 2009 9:11 a.m.
Friendly Research Squad
I think the claim about the cultures in yogurt says the good bacteria don't survive the digestion process. So a live culture in the container is a dead microbe by the time it gets to where it's needed -- your gut. Pills are theoretically better. Why? Dunno.— September 4, 2009 11:51 a.m.
Ship Christenings, Chocolate Susans
That's how I know that. The hostess told me herself.— August 21, 2009 12:34 p.m.
Ship Christenings, Chocolate Susans
Named in 1961 after the daughter of a vice president of Continental Baking, Hostess's parent company.— August 20, 2009 4:23 p.m.
Water Weather, Child Labor
That lemonade stand thing is California law. Things might be different in other states. The news items are probably from Nebraska or somewhere like that.— August 16, 2009 6:51 p.m.
Plant Singers, Big Cheese
I have been pulled over to the side of the road and issued a ticket for breaking the laws of physics. Not sure what I was thinking of when I wrote that. Thanks for the clarification. Now go sing to your tomato plants.— August 7, 2009 10:09 a.m.

A zorse is a cross between a zebra and a horse. They can interbreed because they are closely enough related. There are also zonkeys in addition to zorses. Apparently zorses still maintain enough of their zebra attitude to make them tricky to deal with. Enough gene tinkering, I say. Leave them alone! As for what you can train a zebra to do -- I dunno. Jump through hoops? Moonwalk? I think they mean you can train it to do very simple things like carry a pack or not bite your hand off. I still think they're prettier in their native habitat.— June 27, 2009 12:59 p.m.

Yeah, I didn't think that letter was the best PR for zebras either. Personally, I'm pretty happy that zebras retain their feisty tempers, attempting to tell us that they'd really be a lot happier back on the African savannahs, running from hyenas than stuck in Ramona.— June 20, 2009 11:59 a.m.
Lights, Cameras on SD Roadways
