A really pissed car company, or viral marketing gone mad? Saw this in a sidebar that generally displayed car links and information. I'm amused - this page acknowledges that it's a fictional story inspired by Audi. There's another entrypoint containing more parts of the story. Anyone else still play these?

Curious George - Cool, funky restaurants/dives in DC? Hey Monkeys. I will be in Washington DC from the evening of the 18th to the evening of the 22nd. I'm not too hip on the city and what it has to offer and I was hoping that I could sample a couple of cool, inexpensive restaurants while I was there. We are going to be staying in Arlington, but will be traveling into DC each day for a documentary I am working on. Any suggestions?

Gil & Moti are gay Israeli male artists --
"As schoolkids, we were taught to hate Arabs...we couldn't ignore it. We thought we must do something that will overwhelm the politics, so we decided to fall in love with an Arab." Their multimedia exhibition is in Brooklyn. Their website. Gimmick? Art? Peace initiative?

Finance and trade under Edward III: The London lay subsidy of 1332 "The reign of Edward the Third is one of the longest in history, and long reigns tend to possess an interest which is even more than proportionate to their length. It is, however, an interest that springs not so much from unity as from contrast and change, the beginning and the end of such a reign lie in different worlds. The three visitations of pestilence in 1349, 1361 and 1366 make this especially true of the reign of Edward III..."

The original binary code. Morse code beats text messaging in speed test. A 93 year old former telegraph operator smoked a 13 year old text messaging opponent in a speed test. This reminds me of an old math teacher who delighted in beating us in speed tests of slide rule versus a calculator. Email still beats USPS though.

Curious George: iPodder Is there a way to use iPodder (or any other application) to automatically download mp3's, given an RSS feed of an ordinary mp3 blog? iPodder, as far as I can tell, will do this only if the blog entry is a podcast. I'm not sure what that means exactly, and after spending some time with google, I've decided that neither do most people on the internet. I hope some monkey is more enlightened than I.

Hayao Miyazaki's latest film trailer is now available for viewing. The film has been showing for six months in Japan and is finally due to reach American shores in June, and it looks to be worth the wait. Miyazaki came out of retirement yet again to make this one, so whether or not this will be the last is anybody's guess. via Nausicaä.net

Jail for 'Robin Hoods' who cost Microsoft millions Sorry for the yahoo news FPP, but I wanted to take the time to really poke fun of these guys for being, as the prosecutors described, "sad individuals living as they do for very large parts of their days and nights in a virtual world, in front of a computer monitor, cocooned from existence." What |0z3rs! On a wholely unrelated note, Microsoft offers "A parent's primer to computer slang". Finally!
