GREENWICH, Conn. (AP) — An anteater has given birth at a Connecticut conservation center, prompting officials there to wonder how the mother conceived. Officials at the LEO Zoological Conservation Center tell the Greenwich Time (http://bit.ly/14wsum4 ) they had removed the only male anteater from the enclosure in August, long before the six-month gestation period for baby Archie would have begun. They feared that male, Alf, would kill another baby in the pen. That left the mother Armani, and the young female, Alice, in the enclosure. But little Archie was born in April anyway. Marcella Leone, founder and director of the conservation center, suspects this might be a rare case of delayed implantation, when fertilized eggs remain dormant in the uterus for a period of time.

Slate.com: Who Said It: Rob Ford or Mayor Quimby? 16. “You don't scare me, that could be anyone's ass. Now beat it! I'm calling the shots.” 17. “I will retract the word ‘ass.’ ” 18. “Very well, if that is the way the winds are blowing, let no one say I don't also blow.” 19. “You are tampering with forces you can't understand, we have major corporations sponsoring this event.” 20. “I’m as clean as the days are long.”
Yes, if it wasn't true already, our local buffoon's antics have now definitely gone global. And crowd sourcing the cash to buy the video

The crew had been busy placing a load of the $825 rental bicycles into a rack at Second Avenue and 25th Street, and had not yet locked them in place when the thief struck." /quote
I still didn't get it, by the way. Can you snail mail me an explanation that is written in crayon? Thanks much.
this has always been a big non-issue here too: urban legends about stolen velo'v's being seen en masse in romania, algeria... actually true theft is almost nil: what there is is basically joy-riding, the bikes are found outside of stations (often vandalized unfortunately). they're so distinctive that you can't disguise them, and who would want one anyway? and you can't cannibalize them as nothing on them is standard: not a tire, spoke, brake pad, nut, bolt or washer. but i can think of one motive for this theft that is truly outstanding: i see the bike in the photo is no. 00003. if the thief made off with no. 00001 i'll bet he's got something he can eventually sell for a tidy sum. i sometimes idly look at the numbers of lyon's bikes as i go by a station: 10028... 12866... 5011... 0010??? that's a real survivor! i imagine that on the black market there would be interest in 0001... or 0069.

sesame street after your time? how old are you? guignol was born in 1808 and i loved watching SS with my (much) younger brother.
Alright it wasn't quite before my time, I lied. The real issue is that my parents kept the TV in a closet and wheeled it out only for shows they wanted to watch. The exception being Saturday AM when my brother and I were permitted to watch the cartoons. So I didn't grow up on Sesame Street and have no particular affection for the show as a result. Nothing against it despite my die in a fire comment. It's just not a cherished cultural memory to me, not any kind of memory really.
