January 2010 Open Thread

Here’s an open thread. Do watch this space for news — I’m heading off to Africa in March 2010 and will be there for over a year. This blog will be offline while I’m in Africa (so that I don’t have to worry about upgrading my damn blog software every few weeks), but I will put up a page here with a link to my travel blog for anyone who’s interested in following me on my journey through Africa.

If it isn’t obvious by now, readers, I’m taking a break from this blog. I will be back in a couple more weeks.

I’m very proud of my adopted home state tonight.

Open Thread: Torpid Iguana Edition

Readers, I’m confused. Help me out here:

First, Global Warming was refuted by the fact that it snowed in Michigan. In January.

But yesterday (Monday, 2008/01/07) it was 65 degrees Fahrenheit here on the East Side of Pittsburgh. According to my trusty digital thermometer, it’s 68.8 degrees Fahrenheit on my front porch right now at 14:47 in the afternoon. So Global Warming must be for real: after all, I now have anecdotal data to match that of my Michigan counterparts.

But wait a second, readers! It’s been so cold in the Florida Keys that iguanas are falling out of trees! And if it gets cold anywhere, that means Global Warming is a liberal lie!

Oh, well. Consider this an open thread.
