...wow, that reply actually got me all glowing. how's that for self-perpetuating happy? *grin*


you know, i keep sort of wanting to poke you on im... but every time i notice you're on, says "mobile." which seems like it would just be weird. and honestly, we haven't talked in so long i wasn't sure you'd even remember who the heck i am. heh.

anyway, i found this story completely by lucky accident: jedipirate actually stumbled onto it somehow, then passed along the link. otherwise i might've missed it altogether -- but i'm so glad i didn't. it really made my weekend.

oh, and the absolute zero thing... lol. to tell you the truth, it was just something that stuck in my head from high school or maybe even middle school science class: the fact that that's the term for the lowest possible temperature ever. and, well-- what little i know about celsius is just because i'm russian. :P
