So last night, my dear Jodi was good enough to take me to the hospital at 3:30 am after failing to get to sleep for two hours due to an insane amount of pain in my lower back, which had the side effect of making my legs tingly and numb. Over the past two weeks, …

They prayed… before… a golden… bull.
A GOLDEN BULL! Seriously, no shit! Pharyngula has more than I can bring myself to say here… it’s ridiculous. Hey you religious types — praying doesn’t get us out of every problem, especially not monetary problems. Remember the whole thing about throwing the money lenders out of church? How about the part where rich men …

Don’t rush to upgrade Java.
Michael Horowitz at CNet News’ “Defensive Computing” blog has an article up on Java 6 Update 10, which was just released this weekend, and whether or not you should update from your current Update 7.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mouse
Scientists have managed to erase specific memories in mice. This is a bit scary. How long before people can go in and get memories of their cat Fluffy erased after their death, and at the same time as a free two-fer, get all memories of their reasoning behind their political party affiliation wiped out as …
