Last time I though my root canal was awesome, but this time it's a pain in the gums. While I complain about my literally rotten teeth, you can entertain yourself with some Chickn Facts or this (recently updated) list of Things Metafilter Considers A Land Of Contrast(s). You may also use my personal Hunting homepage, if you'd like some puzzle solving aides. I'm working on putting together some nice molecular biology links for bookmarking purposes.
