For the biologists ...

According to Google, who are never wrong, today is the 161st anniversary of the birth of Julius Petri. It's the little things in life that count. ;)

Many thanks for the birthday wishes yesterday! It was a lovely day.

How about it?

Dear Cablevision,

If I give back all seven Spanish-language channels, can I pleeeeze have BBC America without paying you an extra $55 per month?

Love,
Chalcedony
