Chimp Birthday Party turns bad. St. James and LaDonna Davis were at the Animal Haven Ranch in Caliente to celebrate the birthday of Moe, a 39-year-old chimpanzee who was taken from their suburban Los Angeles home in 1999 after biting off part of a woman's finger.

Curious George - Courier Air Travel Experiences? I was reading mothninja's invite for the Florence meetup and was seriously considering trying a courier flight to Italy. I've done the requisite google seach, but alot of the information seems a bit confusing and it seems like there are some scammers out there as well. Have any monkeys had any experience doing the courier thing?

Someone has figured out the lyrics to 'Yellow Ledbetter' by Pearl Jam (Flash) and created this cartoon to prove it. This is a big deal because Pearl Jam has never released the lyrics to the song, and Eddie Vedder is incapable of singing in anything other than mumbles.

Useful, green urban technology or over-hyped greenwash? This Kitchen-based composter offers a clean, efficient method of composting your kitchen waste.

Revolved (.torrent). For those of us already tired with those three Kleptones albums (the Detroit to JA mashup, the Queen mashup and the Flaming Lips mashup) I recommend CCC's Revolved album, which combines the Beatles' Revolver with a bunch of other crap. A fun listen, but in my mind not much more than a novelty next to A Night at the Hip-Hopera or Revolver for that matter. They mess with the guitar on She Said, She Said way too much - the highlight of the original album for me.

Brainboost is a search engine that attempts to find answers to plain English queries. I've found it useful in a small way. Here's your challenge ... what question or questions will drive it completely bug-eyed mad?
