African Clawed Frogs are really cool. I lurve frogs. I dig them. I have an African Clawed Frog that kicks my motherluvin' ass. He broke my face. I call him Samuel L. Jackson. I think that the human race should be kinder to frogs.

Curious George: There are two kinds of people A friend of mine remarked today that there are two kinds of people in the world, those who mourn the pope and those who mourn the time before 24hr news networks. So, I wondered, What groups are we arbitrarily dividing the world into today? more inside

The Heysel disaster. There has been no spectacle in the history of televised sport as compelling and atrocious as the night of 29 May 1985, when 39 Italians were killed on the terraces of the Heysel stadium, Brussels, in the murderous prelude to a European Cup final. On Tuesday, Liverpool and Juventus meet again for the first time since. more inside

Conspiracy Thriller Movies of the 1970s I like articles about the conspiracy thriller movies of the 1970s.

Bush Invades Iran in June and things don't go as planned? What do you think life is going to be like in this country if Iran doesn't fold like Iraq does and in fact, could quite possibly destroy the oil fields in Saudi Arabia, launch missles against southern Europe and Israel and invade Iraq with thousands of very capable and well-equipped soldiers and equipment?

Curious George - All Monkeys Banded Together Putting this whole t shirt thing together with Tracicle and Space Kitty got me thinking. The folks on this site tend to be like-minded, free thinking people. What if we used our numbers to do something for both ourselves, as well as the planet. Something besides t shirts and CD swaps... I'm leaving the floor open to discussion on this. For one thing, we could open our homes to other monkeys when they travel in our cities. We could also see if there is a social movement that we could all get behind. Frankly, I really don't know what we could do, all I know is that we have a number of cool people that could all help each other, or do something together for the world. Any ideas monkeys?
