And in related news, the Turkish company that made the shoe thrown at George Bush has been flooded with orders.

Istanbul-based Baydan Shoes claims it made the shoes and says it now has 300,000 orders - more than four times the shoe's normal annual sale. He said orders had been made from countries around the world, including the US, Britain and Iraq. The black leather shoe was called Model 271 but has been renamed Bush shoe, the company said.

Gingerbreadmanocide Definition (noun) - The deliberate and systematic extermination of a type of pastry.

This week is the annual AGU conference in San Francisco. It's basically a who's who in the world of geosciences, with lots of exciting research, talks, and poster sessions going on. There are somewhere around 15,000 scientists attending this year.

Over on my Geology News blog, I posted a video that I put together.
