Degrassi + Kevin Smith = Messed Pants. If you live in Canada, you're smack dab in the middle of a three-parter of Canada's highest rated television series, Degrassi: the Next Generation, which features Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, and even Alanis Morissette, who have all captured our hearts as the stars of Clerks and its many award winning sequels. In the three-part story arc, Jay and Silent Bob are introduced to the series as directors looking for locations to shoot their new film, called Jay and Silent Bob Go Canadian, Eh? and they get into wacky hijinks with the characters of the middle school drama series. Rumor has it Smith has wild fat man sex with Caitlyn Ryan from Degrassi High. More info at Kevin Smith's website. Shit, this is awesome. more inside

The V-Chip Do any parents actually use it? There was such a big deal about it when it was implimented and the TV ratings boxes still appear, so because I'm not a parent and don't know any parents of young kids I'm curious if this feature is actually used by anyone or was it just another moral panic?

Moist Bread Ok so I recently started baking stuff, including bread. But bread, as it turns out, is really hard to make right. I keep making really dry bread. I've tried a variety of recipies, both bread machine and hand-made. I cover the dough with a damp towel when it's rising. The ingredients always include something that should make the bread moist- the last loaf I made included an entire stick of butter, and it was the driest yet! Could any culinarily-talented monkeys help? (Any other helpful suggestions/tips/lessons learned on the topic of baking bread would also be appreciated.)
