I'm catching up -- love the Random Vin Diesel Fact Generator. (I wonder if there are any actual facts in it?) And adore the Monkey Ho economics story -- not the least because it turns out that Dubner & Leavitt (authors of Freakonomics, which I just recently read and was wowed by) are going to be doing a regular column for the NYTimes magazine!!! This is good news all around.
You want to meet the real me now?

Welcome Elllie! You fared better in the name game than Penn Jillette's new Daughter, Moxie CrimeFighter Jillette. [link]
I do kind of like Moxie...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Our wings are not tired.
Hee. I've heard worse. At least it made me laugh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
CRIMEFIGHTER???? I'd sue.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
At least it's only the middle name. (Though "Moxie Jillette" is pretty bad on its own. It makes her sound like a razor blade.)

I do have an aunt whose first name is Gilette. And her maiden name was easily abbreviated to Mac ... well, she got off lucky, considering.

So, Ebert and Whasisname have nothing but good things to say about Batman Begins. Can't wait. Also gave high praise to Michelle Tractenberg's new movie.

I am NOT a Hayden Christensen fan. But this picture of him is definitely GAH worthy.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Belated Happy Birthday, Dana!
