Apparently, everyone knows that Nostradamus predicted it, but I found it odd that random number generators may have predicted it, as well.

From references in movies like Tapeheads and Rush Hour, Roscoe's House of Chicken'n Waffles has become something of a legend. Maybe it's time for you to stop by and try the Carol C special or Buckwheat Waffle. In case you're not into meat, I guess you can always grab it to go and go visit Roscoe the spectacled bear, who'll surely appreciate the chicken.

Roy Wood and the Wombles (Not to be confused, naturally, with other Wombles). The Wombles are - depending on what source I look at - appear to be either bear-like things or rodent-like things. They started as children's fiction, apparently, and became recording artists. Roy Wood, on the other hand, was a founder and main songwriter for the incredibly influential band The Move. Both have done songs about Christmas: Roy - "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day"(), Wombles - "Wombling Merry Christmas". Now, due to... well, some unknown force that we should all fear, we have "I Wish It Could Be A Wombling Merry Christmas Everyday". There's even a video. What really frightens me is that I'm considering getting the CD.

South is Pakistan with the Khyber Pass and nukes.

If you want to talk to people in Afghanistan, it's a good idea to know how to speak either Pashto or Eastern Farsi (Dari). Pashto is occasionally taught at one university in North America, but Eastern Farsi seems not to be taught at all, although you might be able to get by with Persian. You can listen to some some Pashto and Dari broadcasts in RealAudio.

If knowledge is indeed power then it's important to know how it works and to what ends that knowledge is put. The American people are well documented and there's no shortage of information on other nations, but how is the data used? And how is the context established?
