Something

Tonight is one of those bad nights. It will be better in the morning. I hope. I need a vacation though.

This amused me:

"Two former Cornell University entomologists who recently had the job of naming 65 new species of slime-mold beetles named three species that are new to science in the genus Agathidium for members of the U.S. administration. They are A. bushi Miller and Wheeler, A. cheneyi Miller and Wheeler and A. rumsfeldi Miller and Wheeler."

They claim its a honor. But slime-mold beetles? Somehow, I don't think the scientists are being entirely forthcoming.
