10. You don't need to see my goddamn identification, 'cause these ain't the motherfuckin' droids you're looking for.
9. Womp rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'll never know, 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker.
8. This is your father's lightsaber. When you absolutely, positively, have to kill every motherfuckin' stormtrooper in the room... accept no substitutes.
7. If Obi-wan ain't home then I don't know what the fuck we're gonna do. I ain't got no other connections on Tattooine.
6. Feel the Force, motherfucker.
5. 'What' ain't no planet I've ever heard of! Do they speak Bocce on 'What'?
4. You sendin' the Fett? Shit, Hutt, that's all you had to say!
3. I wouldn't go so far as to say that the motherfucker's a carpet. Yeah Chewie got a hair problem. What's the brother gonna do? He's a wookie.
2. Does Jabba the Hutt look like a bitch?

Several days ago Ithaca had some heavy rain.  I didn't think about it much, we live on fairly high ground.  However, when I got home from work I noticed that we were now living in apartments with brand new beach front property.

Unfortunatly for our landlords this is their office here:
 
The last time I was in the mail room, the bottom 2 1/2 feet of the dry wall had been removed. 

Trial Of Artificial Pancreas Set For Launch

The prototype is made up of three parts: a sensor placed on the skin that measures blood glucose levels, a hand-held computer that analyses this information, and a small pump that infuses glucose into the body.

"It will be small enough for men to fit it on their belts or women to place it inside their bras," said Hovorka. He hopes the product will be on the market in 5 years.

Funded by the European Commission and insulin pump manufacturer Dietronic, the project is believed to be at a further stage than similar versions in the US. Hovorka said that US competitors have still not begun clinical trials. Since January 2000, Hovorka has tested the prototype on over 20 volunteers in Austria and Italy, achieving "very promising results." Their glucose levels were maintained at an average of 6.2 mmol/L (125 mg/dL). The normal level is about 5.5 mmol/L (111 mg/dL), and most patients with type 1 or insulin-dependent diabetes can only maintain an average of 8.9 mmol/L (179 mg/dL) using the methods currently available, he noted.

 

Super sweet!  I can't wait for this movie to be out.
