Fannie Mae is supposed to be quite the hottie.(I did sort of picture them as people when I was a kid, because my mom worked for a title company and talked about them lots. FM had kind of a Clampett vibe, in my head)
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

Fannie May is yummy, not a hottie! (For those not from Chicago, Fannie May is the big-name chocolate company. Yummm, Trinidads...)

Ann, that's a ferret.
But watch out for Sallie Mae and Ginnie Mae. They'll break your heart every time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
NBC announced today that they will be launching a new service called "NBC Direct" which will allow users to download and view NBC's popular primetime shows to their desktops for free and watch them for up to one week after broadcast.
The first version of this software will launch in October for Windows PCs only, but "future versions" are said to add Mac compatibility.
At launch the shows will include "Heroes," "The Office," "Life," "Bionic Woman," "30 Rock," "Friday Night Lights," "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" and "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
In 2008, NBC plans to offer expanded sales options which could include download-to-own, rental and subscription models.
NBC recently withdrew from future iTunes distribution of their television shows due to a contract dispute with Apple.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So one of my students today told our class about the time when her parents were almost caught in a pirate attack. Seriously. Modern day pirates!

Modern pirates are fairly common....
Modern Pirates Terrorize Seas With Guns and Grenades
According to IMB, pirate attacks around the world tripled in the decade between 1993 and 2003.
In 2003 alone there were 445 actual or attempted attacks in which 16 people were killed.
In the first three months of 2006, there were 61 successful or attempted attacks, compared to 56 incidents in the same period last year.
At least 63 people have been taken hostage this year—twice the number of hostages taken in the same period last year.

According to IMB, the waters around Indonesia continue to be the world's most dangerous, with 19 pirate attacks in the first three months of this year.
These waters are among the most heavily trafficked in the world, and organized crime gangs hold sway over parts of them.
"Indonesia represents 25 to 30 percent of the attacks," Mukundun said.
