Over at MSN.com, Michael Ventre writes a column titled “Can’t Miss,” where each week he highlights a movie, a television show, a musical artist, a DVD, and a book. This week Mr. Ventre choose to highlight the book Why Do Men Have Nipples? The premise of the book is that the authors ask and answer […]

There’s a couple of movies I’m really excited about seeing. The first one is Terry Gilliam’s new film Brothers Grimm. Check out the trailer for it here. The other is The Aristocrats which is co-directed by Penn Jillette (he’s the big talking one of Penn and Teller). Go and watch the trailer here. In the […]

The internet is a funny thing. You read a story and follow links that are contained within, and before you know it you’ve discovered something you’d only vaguely heard about. Well, that kinda happened to me tonight. I’d heard that girls were going wild all over America, but I had no idea teachers were included […]

The London Times has an article reporting on the controversy surrounding the film adaptation of The Da Vinci code. I would like you to read the article for yourself before reading the rest of this entry (don’t worry its really short”¦the article not this entry), but I’ll summarize anyway: The Catholic League (which is not […]

Astronaut Steve Robinson turns the camera on himself during his historic repair job “underneath” Discovery on August 3.

This has been all over the T.V., but for those of you who missed it, here is a link to the video of Robert Novak getting mad and storming off a CNN set. I find it hard to believe that Novak’s temper is so short that Carville’s little comment caused him to storm off. Perhaps […]

The Washington Post has just published an article that examines the president’s upcoming month-long vacation to Crawford. The article discusses the vaction from the perspective of the right (Bush reconnecting with the real America) and the perspective of the left (Bush is a lazy shit who is dodging work and drawing attention away from Karl […]

This guy claims to know how to keep your elevator from stopping at other floors. You can read the little article yourself, but to save you time I’ll just tell you. Push the floor you are going to and the “close door” button at the same time. Supposedly, the elevator will go straight to your […]

I try not to engage in too many political debates on my blog, but in the last couple of days the blogsphere (damn I’m a nerd) has been awash with amazement at President Bush’s comment that students should be taught Intelligent Design as an equal alternative to Evolution. Wow. As if he would think any […]
