And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Driver and Izzard as Dahlia and Wayne, a couple of traveling con-artists on a splurge through America.

Huh. I think I like it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

But the question is, do they share clothes???

There's a great blog entry about the Muslim cartoon controversy, and where it might stem from. To summarize, the Saudis were starting to get flack in the Muslim countries because their lack of planning caused yet another stampede at this year's hajj that killed 350 people. They needed to wag the dog, so they started complaining in the press over the cartoons that were originally published back in September with no controversy whatsoever. The situation was then inflamed when right-wing European papers republished the cartoons.

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

"Grandpa Munster" (Al Lewis) has died at age 95.

The weird thing is that his family claims he was born in 1923, which would make him 83. My favorite part of the obituary I read was this:

A year later, he was back offering his recollections of a seminal New York punk band, the Ramones, on the DVD "Ramones Raw."

FWIW, No Depictions of Muhammad was covered in the most intro of J-school classes. The flames may have been fanned, but it's hard to imagine that the editor/publisher didn't mean for them to be.

OMG, speaking of blashpemy, one of the guys at the party I was at last night was wearing this t-shit:

On the front it said "The Devil is as Ugly as Sin" with this big hideous charicature done like those spray-paint shirts you see at state fairs and stuff.

On the back: a big cross, and the words "'Cause Jesus Beats Him with a Stick."

The shirt is funny, but this typo is funnier.

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

[eta: Oh hey! The guy who did this study is the same guy who did the "Stupid People Don't Know They're Stupid" study way back when!]

I guess he focuses his research on egocentrism? The guy sure thinks highly of himself.
