conulyCoughed while eating. Got a french fry up my nose. Couldn't snort it back down. Had to blow it out. Repeatedly. This was every bit as gross as it sounds. Also uncomfortable.
Also: Kids lost spacer. Went to CVS to get new one. Need a prescription. WTF do they think I'm going to do with a spacer that requires a prescription? It's a piece of freaking plastic! It's not dangerous in any way, shape, or form. I don't think you could even concuss somebody by bonking them on the head with one.

There are roughly 70 billion trillion stars in the universe, and we find new exoplanets seemingly every single day. The odds just aren't that long.
