Shrift, the random facts site is down right now, but I have the code ganked if you get possessed.

Heh. Cool. I'll probably get distracted by porn, though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yay Encyclopedia Brown!

I've introduced Emmett to Encyclopedia Brown. His grandmother gave him a $100 gift certificate to Cody's Books and it is his intent to buy the entire run of Encyclopedia Brown with it.

In the original script for Pulp Fiction there's a riff on "the tough girl in Encyclopedia Brown" between Uma and Travolta's characters.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Huh. I may have tweaked the Random Fact Generator for PHP 4.4. Anyone have a Batman fact or two I can test it with?

Not that sort of random fact. This sort.

I love that Matt linked to Jane's site. Polgara, it looks fantabulous. Seriously.

Encyclopedia Brown was one of my childhood favorites. So great. It's where I learned the magic of cheating by boiled egg in an egg spinning contest.

Also, am a bit joyful today because there is CAKE in my fridge: triple chocolate mousse cake and a napoleon. From Porto's. Which is now down the street from me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Oh crap, I'm dying over the Chuck Norris thing again.

The Dinosaurs looked at Chuck Norris the wrong way once. ONCE.
