"Oops. I think I might have farted on your ____."

The news as it's fit to print:

• Today's Quote of the Day
  
  Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
  
  -Joseph Addison, essayist and poet (1672-1719)
  
  
• My favorite part of Firefly thus far:
  
  Book: What are we up to, sweetheart?
  
  River Tam: Fixing your Bible.
  
  Book: I, um...
  [alarmed]
  Book: ...what?
  
  River Tam: Bible's broken. Contradictions, false logistics - doesn't make sense.
  [she's marked up the bible, crossed out passages]
  
  Book: No, no. You - you can't...
  
  River Tam: So we'll integrate non-progressional evolution theory with God's creation of Eden. Eleven inherent metaphoric parallels already there. Eleven. Important number. Prime number. One goes into the house of eleven eleven times, but always comes out one. Noah's ark is a problem.
  
  Book: Really?
  
  River Tam: We'll have to call it early quantum state phenomenon. Only way to fit 5000 species of mammal on the same boat.
