We’ll post links to sites that have Friday (plus or minus a few days) photos of their chosen animals (photoshops at our discretion and humans only in supporting roles). Watch the Exception category for rocks, beer, coffee cups, and….?

We add boarders all day Friday plus intermittently on Saturday and Sunday so visit frequently.

Do link to the Ark every week!

You can find out how to board the Friday Ark at the Arkive page.

Update (11/26): Our apologizes to those who tried to board late Friday or yesterday. Family matters and travel were at the fore.

Note for Haloscan Users:

Over the past month or so Haloscan started (the end of July) handling of trackbacks has improved though it is still pretty broken for carnival type posts. Now, instead of rejecting every attempt to ping it accepts single pings for a while and then will start rejecting them. I will keep trying to track back to Haloscan boarders but can make no guarantees for any particular week.

Note for Typepad Users:

Typepad continues to behave similar to Haloscan for trackbacks. I have, though, for the past month been able to get trackbacks to most, if not all, Typepad based boarders. I have to do it one at a time and wait a while in between pings but Typepad does not go into semi-permanent rejection mode like Haloscan.

They’ll Be Coming For You

Coworkers, friends and family often look at me very askance when I call out coffee drinkers as druggies. Well, here you go

…on a popular pro-drug Web site, a visitor reported taking seven No Doz tablets, or 1,400 milligrams of caffeine, and compared the effects to a bad trip on LSD.
Then, like many who get carried away with the world’s most popular drug, the person wondered: “Can caffeine really do this?”
It can. And abuse of the legal stimulant is an emerging problem among young people, according to Northwestern University researchers, who recently analyzed three years’ worth of cases reported to the Illinois Poison Center.
Symptoms include everything from nausea, vomiting and a racing heart to hallucinations, panic attacks, chest pains and trips to the emergency room.

How long before the swat teams are hitting your breakfast nook and narcs are lurking in the corners of Starbucks?

A Blog to Support and A Blog to Bury

I’ve been reading PoliBlog for a few years now and generally find Steven Taylor’s posts to be interesting and thought provoking.
Apparently Verizon is attempting to steal the name. (Update here) I will not read or link* to the Verizon site until they change the name and maybe not even then.
Whether you agree with Steven’s view’s or not I urge you to give him a link: google bomb his site, PoliBlog, to assure that he always ranks well above the folks stealing his name.*
Steven’s site will continue to be the only PoliBlog that I read.
*Taylor has not encouraged any google bombing. However, it seems reasonable to me to come up with bomb material for Verizon that might become as effective as miserable failure. With the bomb material I will break my no link policy.
