I work in an enormous glass building, and for several weeks the area around the base of it has been a wasteland while some guys with incredibly fun-looking jobs work on it (these same guys get to RAPPEL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING as part of their job. And here I am in this damn cubicle). This morning the entire area was suddenly covered with sod, which is delivered in giant rolled-up mats resembling Swiss cake rolls. In a single day this area went from ugly wasteland to green lawn. This really brings home the very superficial nature of Nature in the city - we’ve reduced it to mere cosmetic drapery. I almost wish they would make the things out of green plastic - at least it would be more honest. Eventually our hubris and our disdain for Nature is going to come around and bite us on the ass. Then I will laugh. Then I will look for some herbs to make a linament for my ass.

You would think in our usually prudish society there’d be regulations

on the porn industry, oh say, something like “actors must use appropriate protection against STDs.” Apparently not, because there are such things as “non-condom” sets. The porn industry took a hit today when one of its actors tested positive for HIV.

Speaking of porn, why is porn legal but prostitution is not? In both cases people are having sex in exchange for payment.
