And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Okay, maybe if they turned this season of 24 into The Prisoner. And had David Lynch guest-direct. That would be daring.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuude. You totally get my vote for being in charge of television.

The Prisoner was awesome, but it's an awesome, trippy, allegorical, self-indulgent mess.
I suspect seeing it when I was in my early teens (on PBS re-runs) is why I have such an unholy love for it. I've noticed on re-watching that too many of the episodes start to become copies of earlier ones. If it had gone on any longer, it would have burnt itself out a la Twin Peaks. I think a shorter run might have been better, but I'm sure some on the episodes I cherish were among the later additons (MacGoohan had 7 planned initially, I think).

Speaking of....
If I had the disposable cash and time, I would gladly come up for a spell and stake out her mailbox (explicit promise of no vigilante justice included). I wonder if it's something that can be arranged (again, with an explicit promise of no vigilante justice from participants).

Sadly, I suspect unless you were staking out the mailbox from her house, the neighbors would probably freak out about the creepy guy staking out the mailbox!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Some people hook up webcams to their computers as part of a cheap security system - the computer is setup to only record when something changes in its field of view (i.e. someone walks by, moves around, etc.) Dunno if this would provide sufficient resolution to ID someone....

This seems like a bit of a national embarassment:
A survey of more than 1,000 men in India has concluded that condoms made according to international sizes are too large for a majority of Indian men.
The study found that more than half of the men measured had penises that were shorter than international standards for condoms.
Dude, that's harsh.
Conversely...
A range of extra-large condoms has been launched in South Africa, to cater for "well-endowed" men. "A large number of South African men are bigger and complain about condoms being uncomfortable and too small," said Durex manager Stuart Roberts.
Aids activists say the new condom could encourage men to practise safe sex in South Africa, where some 6m are HIV positive - more than any other country.

As I've seen the regular variety inflated to the size of cantaloupes in water baloon fights, I wonder if the problem is that no one's told these men condoms are supposed to be tight.

I suspect there may be a cultural issue here. Of course, as we all know, the rule in condom packaging is to designate the smallest size as Gigongulous, and then move up from there.
