Well... the Klingons and Furries finally got together and had battle... in a bowling alley. Here's some of the exciting (WEIRD) results:

I wonder if any of the Furries went home with the Klingons? What kind of unholy being would that produce?

I like science and music so we want to help raise a boat load of money for education through Donors Choose. This is a great organization that...

is a simple way to provide students in need with resources that our public schools often lack. At this not-for-profit web site, teachers submit project proposals for materials or experiences their students need to learn. These ideas become classroom reality when concerned individuals, whom we call Citizen Philanthropists, choose projects to fund.

Proposals range from "Magical Math Centers" ($200) to "Big Book Bonanza" ($320), to "Cooking Across the Curriculum" ($1,100). Any individual can search such proposals by areas of interest, learn about classroom needs, and choose to fund the project(s) they find most compelling. In completing a project, donors receive a feedback package of student photos and thank-you notes, and a teacher impact letter.

So help us reach our goal of $1000! Any amount of money is greatly appreciated and you can keep up with the donations on the handy cash-o-meter over there on the sidebar. Or you can come back to this post and click on this little widget:

We're particularly interested in helping charities in the sciences and music, like these:
