There's no way I can argue with a Countess.

Way back in early January, I suggested that we vote for one of the Countess's horror stories in an online contest. You will be pleased to hear that she won "Best Short Horror Story"!
You may recall that I also suggested that she reward Pharyngula's participation with a little story of our own, so…
The Countess dropped me a note to say I might get a laugh out of this list of the 100 Unsexiest Men of 2007, and I had a brief, horror-stricken thought that the reason was because I was on it. That's the only reason I read the whole thing.
Dick Cheney is only at 77? There's something wrong there.
I found this lovely portrait on Wikipedia. 18th century portraits almost exclusively show people with European looks. But here a Russian painter has painted a Kalmyk girl in 1767. The Kalmyks are a Western Mongolian group living in south-west Russia. The girl looks just like Juniorette's buddy…
Alas! There is no casting anchor in the stream of time!

How non-Euclidean!
Also be sure to check out the Flying Spaghetti Monster on page 2 of origamiwolf's album! Cthulhu and FSM... I'm sensing a kindred spirit.
It goes back to the messianic view of these people. "I am the light, and the light knows right." They think that only they know what G.D wants , and I guess G.D doesn't want Kent to pay taxes.
Hey, P. Z., I knew you'd like that. ;)
I really am a Countess. I inherited the title when I married The Count. He's half Hungarian, and that's where the title comes from. It's worth jack shit, since his family has no money anymore, but it's still fun being a Countess. Even if it's in name only.
Countess, Es maga hogy tetszik lenni?
Just curious what is his name? I'm born in Brazil of 100% Magyar ancestry with a couple of coat of arms on my mother's side. No money here either but a rich family history nonetheless.
Some tenous links back to Danish Royalty circa 1100's with a murderous black sheep that ended up living in Hungary. Story sounds a bit like Hamelet. Valami buzlik Daniaban...
Weirdness??! No, perfectly good mathematical engineering! :)
LOL, Countess and Fernando. My daddy is also from Hungary, and he told me our family had been part of some noble family too, but he was quite firm that We Are Americans Now, and he wouldn't tell me any more about it. Pity.

You know, Vladimir Putin takes a strong line on this kind of thing:
Fernando, his last name is Levay. He's not even sure if his dad was pulling his leg. His dad liked to make himself sound important, and saying he was a Count is exactly the kind of thing he'd do. I like to think that he was telling the truth. I am a Countess ruling over our tiny home and six cats. I rule here. ;)

Invoking Cthulhu has made the blog bilingual it seems. Hmm, was this wise? :)

Not in any Earthly meter, anyway...
Countess if you can rule six cats you can rule anything LOL!
j: Non, mais je n'ai pas compris "æç¶ç¶çå¾æä¸æ."
Fernando, I think the six cats rule me. ;)
