Well I spent today making Watchmen cookies.

And were you making them for any special occasion or just for fun?; August 6, 2008 at 1:33 AM

I hadn't baked in a while so I thought making cookies would be fun. They taste good. It's a great cookie recipe that we got from Jim's mom and I add just a little lemon extract to the frosting. They may just be because I love lemon. The Watchmen face seemed nice and simple enough for my limited piping skills.; August 6, 2008 at 11:18 AM

Favorite bit of Useless Knowledge to date...

George Ellery Hale was the twentieth century’s most important builder of telescopes. In 1897, Hale built a 40-inch-wide telescope, the largest ever built at that time. His second telescope, with a 60-inch lens, was set up in 1917 and took 14 years to build. During that time, Hale became convinced that he suffered from "Americanitis a disorder in which the ambitions of Americans drive them insane. During the building of his lens, Hale spent time in a sanatorium, and would only discuss his plans for the telescope with a "sympathetic green elf."
