| Friday Jun 9, 2000 | Those of us who grew up in the 80s can't help but notice the visual similarity between upcoming movie Titan A.E. and the laserdisk game Space Ace. It's not your imagination - the prolific Don Bluth was the chief artist of Space Ace as well as director/animator of Titan A.E. Well-respected in animation circles, Bluth holds production credits on dozens of high-powered animation projects including An American Tale and Land Before Time. to Movies by pjammer |
| Thursday Jun 8, 2000 | We've all heard of the age-old dispute of Evolution vs. Creationism and most of us will remember the Creationists' recent forays into the US education system, but let's not forget that the theory of evolution is not undisputed in the science community either. Do check out this topical index on the matter.

| Too busy slaving away at your dot com job to attend your father's 50th birthday party? No problem. Now you can clone yourself (almost) with Rent-A-Relative. Better check their fee schedule first. Dysfunctional family is a $25 surcharge.

| "Gaydar" used to be a
word that
meant one could easily identify people who are
gay. Now it's an electronic device
that will beep (or vibrate) when within 50 feet of another Gaydar equipped person.

| There's the original Shaft. There are a couple of sequels. There's the new movie. And then, of course, there's the site everyone will be going to first, where you'll find out that there are no pumps, weights, or painful surgery and that great results can be achieved through exercise. And no, you can't get results that way. to Media by fringehead |
| Both the
Latin wannabe and the
quote
collector in me thoroughly enjoyed
Johanna's
impressive (and useful) collection of
Latin maxims
and mottoes.
In fact, you can find out all sorts of interesting things
about Latin online, particularly regarding subjects like
botany,
prescriptions, or
commonly used phrases.
Or you can skip all that and just look up
your name.

| Monday Jun 5, 2000 | In the vein of
"Wicked" -- a novel that cleverly recasts the Wicked Witch of the West as a
tragic political rebel --
and William Clifford's half-serious examination of the
droids-as-slaves
politics in "Star Wars", is
"The Last Bearer of the
Ring", a yet-to-be-translated Polish fantasy novel that retells
Tolkien's
"Lord of the Rings", showing us
that Sauron was just a misunderstood, progress-minded technocrat brought to
ruin by the decadent, elitist elves over a dispute about trade routes.

| Do you consistently experience letters as certain colors, or certian textures or tastes? You may have synesthesia, which basically means the blending of two or more senses. People with synesthesia generally have it from childhood on, tend to be highly intelligent and artistic, and most of them experience synesthesia as pefectly normal.

Their latest full-length album,

| Wednesday May 31, 2000 | You thought you'd seen it all when it came to bizarre internet-based fetishes. Then again, you've probably never heard of Macrophilia, the sexual desire to become or roleplay a giant, and do very naughty things to little people or buildings. Or, of course, vice-versa. Often intertwined with Furry, that omnipresent Internet alterna-sexuality where folks roleplay anthropomorphic animals. Not always sexual in nature -- in fact, the Burned Furs are a splinter subgroup claiming that "Anthropomorphics fandom is being overrun by sexually dysfunctional, socially stunted and creatively bankrupt hacks and pervs". Riiight. Just don't mention zoophilia 'round these folks. to Sex by che |
