Avoiding a Death Sentence with Coffee

Wow, this story is the first time that I have ever heard of the choice between drinking coffee regularly versus an immediate death sentence. (Eat your heart out, IRB?)

Supervising Students from Prison

I just want to assure my students that I would continue supervising them from prison (just like this guy) if I were ever imprisoned. Not that I'm actually planning on that or anything...

I've had it with those SOBs in their SUVs.

So, I read an extremely interesting article this evening while I was at Peet's. I even clipped it out to show to Lemming, but he saved me the trouble by finding the article independently and posting it.

The article is about the former Caltech physics grad turkey who played a role in blowing up some SUVs a few years back. It discusses both the incident and his life in prison. I concur with Lemming and strongly encourage you to read this.
