Monday Morning Blogaerobics – “…and other pelagic cnidarians!”

Welcome back. It’s been another wild weekend for the Southern Fried Team. Over the weekend @BoraZ posted that the average American now watches more TV each week than spends working, 35 hours of works per week versus 36 hours of TV. Southern Fried and Bluegrass expressed doubt that they could find that much time in a week, while WhySharksMatter agreed – “36 hours, that’s about right.”

The Southern Fried Scientist and ArchyMck had a discussion about whether it is possible to drink too much scotch. Apparently it is not.

And we all enjoyed the Beaufort Music Festival this weekend.

And remember, plastic bags are evil!
