They are doing this to me later.

Image of a CT scan where the patient has sneezed while the scan was being taken.

The image looks like an x-ray where the patient is lying on their back with their head raised up, except their entire skull, except for their face, has fallen off and is lying on the table behind them. There is a blurred line between the skull and the rest of the head, making it look like some kind of connective tissue between them.

Mine is a very boring and obvious answer, but I'd make mine Ten Forward. We'd always have a fun selection of specialty drinks and chocolate based desserts. Food would likely be in the realm of casual dining.

If you see me and are confused and look here, I was previously going by Lava Ink Shop. I changed my name for a few reasons, one of which was an oomphie telling me they thought I was some kind of tattoo parlor, and now I can't get it out of my head lol

Interesting science fact: Some scientists have experimented with the effects of drugs on spiders and how it affects their webs. The mind altering drugs seem obvious, but I always found the caffeine results fascinating, too. From Wikipedia:

Spiders
In 1948, Swiss pharmacologist Peter N. Witt started his research on the effect of drugs on spiders. The initial motivation for the study was a request from his colleague, zoologist H. M. Peters, to shift the time when garden spiders build their webs from between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., which was decidedly inconvenient for Peters, to earlier hours. Witt tested spiders with a range of psychoactive drugs, including amphetamine, mescaline, strychnine, LSD, and caffeine, and found that the drugs affect the size and shape of the web rather than the time when it is built. At small doses of caffeine (10 µg/spider), the webs were smaller; the radii were uneven, but the regularity of the circles was unaffected. At higher doses (100 µg/spider), the shape changed more, and the web design became irregular. All the drugs tested reduced web regularity except for small doses (0.1-0.3 µg) of LSD, which increased web regularity.

Photos showing the effects of various drugs on spider webs. Each are different, but all substances affected the spiders' ability to build webs.

I saw Superman tonight, and I gotta say James Gunn did a great job. He's clearly a man who loves Superman, and there are several moments in the film that really showcase that. I haven't been to the movie theater in ages, and I'm really glad I picked this film to do it!

I have used eight of these. And through sheer magnanimity, I have only murdered one person who dogeared the page of a book I lent them. Also, my most common bookmark is a page from one of my restaurant guest check books. (Well, if you don't count e-reader I guess.)

The TMNT theme song says "Splinter taught them to be ninja teens," but if we're being honest with ourselves, he just taught them to be ninja. He didn't teach them to be teens.

People are doing the "fun fact" thing. This isn't "fun" exactly; but I think it's interesting. I was hospitalized with a viral infection that has never been identified. I almost died, but the hospital managed to keep me alive. Samples were tested, but no known infectious agent came back positive.
