Mallards and other random things.

Couple of things. First, I suffered a terrible tragedy: my computer's hard drive crashed and I've been in the difficult process of restoring everything. Recommendations about what programs I should download are welcome. On a similar note, I'm sick of Windows, and have decided to wean myself onto Linux. I'm going to keep windows for the time being and run Linux from a flash drive; I'm starting with Linux 4 Newfriends (Chrome Vanilla by Hexxeh), haven't quite figured out how to open the .img file yet.
Geek Squad does not employ any geeks, they simply employ people who know how to use the internet better than their grandmothers. Apple Geniuses are not geniuses. Back in the day, words used to mean something. Internet Explorer is for little old ladies who want to see the picture their grandchild sent to them on the intermail.
Have fun with those links? lol. Now some real news: Apparently male mallards  produce natural anti-bacteria in the most unlikely of places. If we could replicate this in humans, perhaps we could slow the spread of STDs!

  1. What places would they produce this anti-bacteria then? I'm guessing it near the bum. Sigh. It's always the bum.

  2. I linked to an article from ScienceNOW that describes where the anti-bacteria is. :) Apparently the more colorful the mallard, the more anti-bacterial he produces.

Be fun, not rude.
