Pres' Bush, his 'Speechalist' .. He's a genius .. really!

A Bevvy of Beer-brewing Beauties from Bolivia. Well, Peru, actually, but I had that whole 'B' thing going on. Sounds like they liked a party.

A bench by Tiananmen Square

Gigantopithecus Blackii lived alongside human beings. Nervous ones, I would imagine.

Copydetected. An amusing anti-piracy site by Adobe.

Basil Rathbone: Master of Stage and Screen. The definitive Sherlock Holmes?.

To dog or not to dog, that is the question hello monkeys, I need your humble opinions. I was driving to work one afternoon last week when I noticed a sray dog walking down the road. It was on a very busy street, and so I wasted no time and parked right in the middle of the road, jumped out and scouped up the dog. To my surprise it was a pitbull. I can't take the little devil to the humane society or they'll just put him down. I've noticed a vicious mean streak in him that surfaces at certains times. What the b--p should I do with him? His names Kango (I named him afer a concrete breaker).

Houses in the shape of cubes (though more interesting than that sounds). The cube houses are an idea of architect Piet Blom. The first to be built were three test houses (Dutch) in the provincial town of Helmond. After that a bigger group were built there, including a whole theater. (Flash, Dutch) more inside

These are the people in Arnold's Neighborhood Any Flash animation that has flies circling around Bill O'Reilly is O.K. by me. This link is a clever plot by the GOP to start building their base with young kids, but I found it enjoyable just the same.

The Last Temptation of Martin Scorsese: giving in to retirement. Marty is going to give up making features, concentrate on making documentaries and shorts. more inside

Multiple Personalities. "Each alter is designed to do a job and only that job. It is endowed with characteristic traits which the Original Personality would have taken on, if it were in charge. The situation can be viewed as operating a doll factory, with only the outfits of clothes being produced. The doll, itself, is not present. The alters are the sets of clothes, but there is no doll inside any of them. Therefore, they cannot grow and change. They can only do what the ISH has programmed them to do."
