I've been a slacker on the LJ greetings lately, so: Happy belated birthday to ruthierooRuthie, happy birthday today to contradictionsPhilip and fraserspeirsFraser, and congratulations to angelic_1Tash and dirtbirdGeoff on the birth of their son, Jonathan! Yaaaaay! I am glad to know all of you.

Attention natural-disaster aficionados: this is something we should be watching out for. Thanks to the awesome helenangelHelen for the link. I must say, though, I don't get how a big rock falling from such a low height (i.e., not space) could cause a tidal wave. lilolmehbHeather, any physicist insight into this?

I'm reading a book called Last Chance to See by Douglas Adams (the guy who wrote the Hitchhiker's Guide books, which I have surprisingly never read). It's a non-fiction account of many trips he took to see endangered animals all over the world. His perspective is Darwinist and Greenpeacey, but it's fascinating to hear about all the animals. I love animals and think we should definitely do more to preserve wildlife, and for goodness' sake, stop tearing down rainforests (I believe the cure for cancer is probably in a rainforest somewhere). At the same time, I don't like the attitude that animals are smarter than or should take precedence over people. It's not Biblical. So that's my opinion. Wow, I didn't mean to get political. :)
