Whatever happened to Baby K?

Too much internet will K-I-L-L you.

Kilogram weighs less than a kilo. Causes panic among scientists, coke dealers.

Test the Nation: Watch Your Language. Last night, people across Canada did a test of the Queen's* English. I did well until I hit the last section on word origins (and suffice to say the good people of Coquitlam could stand to hire an image consultant). And I was miffed that on a test of Canadian English, the CBC misspelled tuque. For shame, CBC! (*Queen of Canada, obv.)

Canada does its bit on the War on Terror: delivers Bin Laden to Bush.

The harassments of Tony Rosato. The former actor on SCTV and Saturday Night Live, et al has been behind bars for two and a half years, now, and has finally taken the stand. It seems clear that he suffers from Capgras Syndrome, and that the harassment incidents stem from that condition, so why does it take so long to divert him from Court to Care?

Super friends let it all hang out. NSFW. Or your mental health. Never will you see ET through innocent eyes again.

Zombie Bruce Lee is coming back to kick somebody's ass. Sure, there are only, like, three plots in all of kung-fu filmdom and they must all be recycled sooner or later, but do they really need to remake Enter the Dragon? more inside

Squirrels use hot tail action to kick some rattlesnake, uh, tail. Features links to infrared videos of angry, defensive squirrels.

Karl, we hardly knew ya... Karl Rove to resign at the end of August. Resign for real.

Coo-coo ka-choo, Mrs. Britney... (Yes, this is far from FPP-worthy, but a story this trashy shouldn't be lost on an old thread.) K-Fed supposedly dating Britney's mom. Half of me feels revulsion at the sheer white-trashery of it all, the other half wants to applaud.

Rhinos not extinct? So, two things -- first, celery. Second, sidewalk. Good night.

Curious George, <i>start spreadin' the news!</i> Me and SMT have tentatively agreed to a MoFiNYC meetup when I'm in town Oct. 5th-8th (Canadian Thanksgiving weekend). Anybody else in?

What Metahumans are operating in your area?

It is the dawning of the age of Aquarius, among others. Stellarium is a 3D star map that lets you zoom in, zoom out, go back and forth in time, track the stars and planets, and change from that pesky Greco-Roman Zodiac to the Inuit constellations to which you're more used to.
