„I've tried to capture this on digital video several times (including just now), but apparently the little man gets a bit camera shy. Whenever I get the camera out he looses the urge to lick. I guess you need to be relaxed to do these things.“

„And this analogue seems particularly dangerous.The reason is that birdsong and human speech are totally different behaviors in the function they perform.Birdsong is a territorial display, equivalent perhaps to a young man purchasing a Jaguar and putting MD plateson it, while speech is designed to convey complex information, allow for human emotional bonding, andorganize the life of the species. Although Marler's work did show some interesting similarities between thedevelopment of birdsong and the developmetn of human speech, he described it as an instance of convergence,that is, where a' similar pattern evolves in very different species. There are many examples of similarconvergence in animal communication, so it should not be surprising to find them here.“http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/isad2/papers/tds/ rosenfieldtd99.html - Cached
„Species such as the ferruginous hawk, burrowing owl, mountain plover, and blackfooted ferret have been seriously impacted by the removal of the black-tailed prairie dog. Modest protection efforts of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, state fish and game departments, and private groups such as The Nature Conservancy and others have typically focused on wetlands, especially those producing waterfowl. Peatlands and fens are uncommon in the landscape, harbor many rare or disjunct species, and are poorly represented in our protected lands portfolio.“http://www.greatplains.org/resource/biodiver/biocons/ 5-genter.htm - Cached
„Whereas the first explanation implies a passive Web thataccommodates all document formats equally, the second argues that themedium itself favours evolution from information capture towardsknowledge representation. The key is that the Web can be leveragedreflexively to capture a document's structure and semantics — that anycommunity can define its own ontology, or adopt, extend, andcombine others. In this context, we argue that the emergence ofXML-based formats does not merely represent a slew of new competitors,but an ecosystem of interdependent document species.“http://www7.scu.edu.au/programme/fullpapers/1920/ com1920.htm - Cached

„In order to efficiently record the morphology of nematodes, in a format that allows easy archiving, editing and distribution, we have assembled and tested two micrographic Video Capture and Editing (VCE) configurations. These comparatively inexpensive, easily customized systems allow for the production of short video clips that mimic multifocal observation of nematode specimens through a light microscope. These clips can be used for many purposes, including teaching and training, management and online access of taxonomic collections, routine screening of fixed or unfixed specimens, recording of ephemeral staining patterns, or recording of freshly dissected internal organs prior to their decomposition.“http://faculty.ucr.edu/~pdeley/vce/ fulltext.html - Cached

„If this legislation passes, the government would, for all intents and purposes, be taking three to four inches off America’s cocks…. For millions of poorly hung American men, spam is a vital source of information about penis-enlargement options, and our elected officials have no right to take it away from them…. Sales of penis-enlargement treatments and devices in 2000 totaled in excess of $600 million.“http://www.dankohn.com/archives/ 2002_07.html#000149 - Cached

„I think of the classic Penny Arcade strip that imagines "Bob the Door-to-Door Spammer" : Bob, with hat, moustache, plaid coat, and sample case: "Hey, Brian." Gabe, holding open the front door: "Who the fuck is Brian?" Bob: "Is your penis big enough?" And with this email I got, the best metaphor I can offer is of Bertolt Brecht and Samuel Beckett collaborating on a pornographic (NSFW) revision of the cue-card accompaniment to Bob Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues filmed on the set of Max Headroom , only I'm holding open the door and the words on Bob's cards say, in sequence,“http://www.vitia.org/weblog/archives/ week_2004_04_18.html#000320 - Cached

„Equally important, according to recent research examining the impact of private-school vouchers on Florida's poorly performing public schools, the same bills Congress will soon be considering would also provide strong incentives for the District's abysmal public schools to improve. It is a classic — and extremely rare — win-win opportunity for all of D.C.'s public-school children. * * *Those even remotely familiar with the deplorable performance of D.C.“http://www.zogbyblog.com/archives/2003_08.html - Cached
„Since I understood the point of the play before going to see it, I assumed I wouldn't laugh in the politically incorrect places, and I would be shocked and disturbed instead of entertained. I laughed throughout the play, at all of the jokes, especially the ones delivered by Buck and Keith - characters who didn't really come alive on the page, but shined on stage. I did, however, find some parts of the play much more disturbing in action rather than in words, such as all scenes involving Mr Vanislaw...“http://www.stthomasu.ca/~hunt/22230001/ bettyno2.htm - Cached

„Not that he was heavily sweating or flaked with grime nor did he bear the look of other than someone with a bite of fire still within, for as he walked there was a pressing forward, a movement such as the air seemed to be parting, but ever so slightly for he pulled it back with his breath, a breath from a chest thick and strong, him, not knowing how much he drew from those around, their stares, their moment’s hesitation as they took that extra glance at him, for he was like an unexpected ship sailing into harbor, silent, windless harbor, nary a measurable wave lapping, but him gliding along under some other power, something not watery or aeolian, just that he moves and he is noticed, only himself noticing how lovely the world looks, as it always does for him, he enjoying the struggling shoots and buds of this decaying winter month, their slight shyness, even enjoying the muddy slush that is still here and there, he liking how it sticks, adds color to him, this he feels, how the earth so generously adorns with color, every day, different days, sometimes dark, caky mud, others the pancake of snow, still others the swirling sniffs and buzzes of Spring and the deeper lapable bouquet of Summer, ah, if he were only one to stake all this down into consciousness! but, not him, this is not his thought, not his desire; he just moves forward.“http://www.earthfolk.net/chapters/ short_bird.htm - Cached
