So what do you think…
Would it be a bad idea to bring this travel mug to Starbucks?

Man-Eating Bird
Fossils linked to Maori legend of man-eating bird
The giant Haast’s Eagle, which died out at least 500 years ago, was originally thought to have been a scavenger, but new analysis of fossils indicates that it was a lion-level predator…making it the probable basis for the Maori Te Hokioi legend.
Smartphone Radiation
Wow! Glad I didn’t move to a MyTouch! The G1 isn’t in the Top 10 Radiation-Emitting smartphones list, but it’s not exactly low either. The MyTouch, on the other hand, is #1.
Shock & Wave
Weird: Routine Coast Guard training exercise spooks press because it’s 9/11. I wonder how many people were freaked out by the shuttle landing’s sonic boom because of the timing?
Spit-Take Spam
Spam subject: “I have Salvia! Join me :)”
— I misread this as “saliva”…and almost did a spit-take (really!)
In general, though…I don’t want more spam, but a wider variety would be nice. The funny stuff is mostly sex, drugs and watches (with occasional acaí).
Fire by Satellite
From @ThisIsTrue:
AMAZING false-color NASA satellite pic of the damage caused by LA’s Station Fire.
Yes. Yes it is. (Full size on the linked article.)
Cashew! (Gesundheit)
Ack! Who puts cashews on Hawaiian pizza?
Apparently Red Brick Pizza does. They kindly made a replacement without them.
*whew*
Constant Vigilance!
It was listed on the menu, and I should have looked more closely…but who expects nuts of any kind on Hawaiian pizza? It’s standard: crust, tomato sauce, cheese, ham, and pineapple. Checking for nuts on that would be like checking for strawberry jam on a cheeseburger.
