Blogga, please!

Special concluding segment of Bill Maher's HBO political satire and late night talk show where questions submitted to the show from Bloggers are discussed. The segment title is an obvious nod to one of Dave Chappelle's similarly titled comedy skits, starring comedian Chris Rock.
Maher: "It's time for our end-of-the-show, Blogga, please! segment - this is where people blog in and we get the questions right from people off the Internet".

Blogga: What do you think of the UFOs over Texas? . . .
Maher: “UFOs are a lot more likely, than a space God flew down bodily, and who you know is the son of God, and had sex with a Palestinian woman.”

syrup head

A chronic recreational user or addict of the anti-tussive drug, Dextromethorphan (DXM) that is commonly found in many over-the-counter cough and cold remedies.
Syrup heads typically exhibit the following adverse reactions: impaired judgment and mental efficacy, paranoid ideation, dysphoria, blurred vision, headache, dizziness, syncope, slurred speech, ruddiness of complexion, muscular twitching, extremity numbness and tremors, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, decreased thermoregulation, hypertension, liver damage and irregular heartbeat. A good round of repeated and violent vomiting is sometimes the only thing separating a syrup head from a horrid long night in the ER.

Boskop

A species of the genus Homo native to the Boskop region of South Africa between 10,000 and 30,000 B.C., averaging between 5.0 and 6.0 feet in height and boasting of an average cranial capacity of 1500-1800 cubic centimeters versus the more modest average of 1250-1500 cc for modern homo sapiens.
Boskop man exhibited a high cranial-to-facial ratio approaching 5-to-1 versus the modern ratio of 3-to-1. Consequently Boskop man exhibited a high degree of neotony with a cranial-to-facial ratio more appropriate to that of a two to three-year-old homo sapiens child.

The Boskop people are to many archaeologists inexplicable because no evidence remains of the factors that must have been present in their environment which over time selected for the appearance of out-sized brains. The Boskop were, according to Loren Eiseley, both negroid and neotonous in appearance and may well represent the highest level yet achieved in the evolutionary development of the genus homo.
