Lol, I'm really not. I already have more responsibility than I can handle in my life.

Mod staff here is excellent! A great balance between ruthless execution and the kind gentle love of Thor.
Now, when I shall expect my $5 honorarium?
But no, really, the staff is great. Even such a bastard-pig-god such as JHC is allowed to traipse about unmolested. Who could ask for more?

My staff could use some appreciation.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould
