Science Blogger Greg Laden took a nasty fall on sidewalk black ice yesterday.

In the hospital after being loaded to the gills with morphine, Laden asked nurses, "Did you hear that ... that sound ... Cthulhu ... Cthulhu ..."

Here's wishing Greg a speedy recovery.

Here's hoping that he's one of the first to be eaten.

That would be the best anyone could ever hope for.

Ouch!

Two things that will capture your undivided attention: a knee injury and a broken hand.

Easy now, filthy, easy.

I'm sure Halfmooner was just using the knee injury as a vehicle to tell the story about "...Cthulhu...", which by the way was awesome. I wonder how many nurses would catch that.

As long as you only have one broken hand, there's still the other to wipe your behind. I have a friend who lost both arms after being run over by a train. We're not close enough for me to dare asking how he manages...

Rascal looks a bit like Filthy, no?

I'm flattered! I haven't looked that good in a couple of decades.

"Greg Messes up the Triple Lutz, Breaks Leg."

Laden claims to have one regular patella in one knee, and then a part of a patella in his other knee, along with "a tablespoon of oatmeal."

He also disavows all conspiracy theories. And fails to mention Cthulhu again, which (to me) is suspicious.

So what were the judges' scores for his performance?
