I think me failing out of grad school would be bad PR for our side, so ugh, still studyin.
Please enjoy Arnies latest creation, a photo essay: 'NOM'.

I just notice the switch over from Blogger. Congratulations! This certainly is a long way from the old message forums.

What exactly are you studying for? Just the latest research?
Posted by: Steven | May 4, 2008 1:57 PM
Hume-- LOL! I need to go back to the old playground this summer to see whos still around!
Steven-- Immunology, Micro (bacteria), and Virology. Lists of cytokines and who secretes what in response to what and what happens, flagella evolution, toxins, all kinds of basic viro stuff (which is a nice relief for me :P) No more tests after next week until qualifying exams next spring!

I do so every now and then but I can barely stand it. The place was bad before. But bad with stupid.
Now its overrun with white supremacists.

Awww - he is gorgeous!

Quick tip: The flagella evolution is a trick question; it never even happened! Just ask Behe, I'm sure he can set you straight.

BOR-ing. I'm only interested in watching the dog if he's snacking on creotards.

With a little bit of photoshop anything can happen...

Arnie is indeed an adorable dog. His essay, Nom, shows a love and dedication to the subject matter.
Although the vet in me can't help saying, please keep him off the plastic bottles! He has such nice shiny teeth and they will wear right down chewing hard plastic. Stick to rubber/rawhide instead!

PZed has his friday cephalopods, Stranger Fruit has the monday Musteledids. I think it's only appropriate that ERV has a weekyl Arnie album. =)
Pretty soon, we're going to start chanting: Arnie Arnie...
Cheers.

Puppydogs!!! I
Good luck on end-of-semester stuff. We'll be here waiting for you.

Logan has decided to NOM everything paper in the house. I'm now missing a check book, a couple of books and the manual to our new (programmable!) thermostat. Dang it.
How do you discipline the cutest furry nose you've ever seen?? Jeeze. Me = sucker
Posted by: Jenn | May 5, 2008 11:29 AM
Scott (#7), I think a better challenge for Behe would be not only explaining flagellar structure, but doing it while violating three or fewer copyrights.
Posted by: Lycosid | May 5, 2008 12:00 PM
Is there something wrong with me if before I saw the photos I thought that NOM was going to be something about Non-Overlapping Magisteria?
Posted by: Joshua Zelinsky | May 5, 2008 12:24 PM
Give a dog a shoe and he haz NOM for a day. Let a dog steal shoes and he haz NOM for a lifetime.

Yes, he's cute an' all, but I remain a cat person.
