| Glasgow, Scotland. Home of the infamous Celtic FC (FC stands for football club, silly American!). Unlike most Celtic FC fans, Chris McComb takes his fanpage activities a bit more seriously, in a rather unique way: Henrik's Tongue is home to a incredible amount of celebrity pictures digitally manipulated to wear the classic Celtic FC colors, with a helluva lot more in the pipeline, and the obligatory multi-page photo collection of celebrity tongues. to Sports by wheezer |

| Niem is a diligent young man with a beautifully designed Web site devoted to, among other subjects, Mr. Chris Ware's lovely Acme Novelty Library Toys, and his own art. Above all, you have to respect him for having the guts to dress and act like this in public on Halloween.

| Saturday Nov 10, 2001 | Amelie romantically accentuates the muted, sensual aesthetic in La Cite des Enfants Perdus (The City of Lost Children) and the gauche beauty of Delicatessen. The director of the three, Jeunet, has an eye for things which are unusual and unusually pretty. What is most enduring is that his work is surreally earnest.

| Utility owners often request that you call before you dig in order to prevent
backhoe
fade and other
accidents. Though some of these accidents are horrible, they
can't compare in magnitude with the time a Texaco rig accidentally drilled a
hole from Lake Peigneur into the top of a Diamond
Crystal salt mine.
The
entire lake drained
into the mine
in a matter of hours.

| Do you have a smooth, deep, throaty voice and an abiding love of classical music? Interested in becoming an announcer for Chicago’s only classical station, WFMT? Take their infamous announcer audition. If you can work your way through such tongue-twisters as Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt, Nicanor Zabaleta, and Hans Knappertsbusch, you might have a chance at baroque music stardom. Think of the groupies! to Music by fatherdan |
| While the phenomenon (and danger) of Global Warming is generally accepted by the scientific community, there is fierce debate on expensive tactics to dampen its impact. The Ultimax Group proposes the radical and tantalizing idea of employing 390,000 square kilometers of space mirrors, placed in non-Keplerian orbits around
the Sun-Earth L1 Lagrange point, to intercept enough (~0.25%) sunlight to offset global warming and concomitant rapid climate change.

| Now that Halloween is past,
I'd like to share some thoughts about the disparity between male and female
Halloween costumes. The
Onion
jests about it, but it's worth considering why, for men, you can be a cop,
vampire, devil,
pirate, doctor,
wizard, football player,
or priest,
while for women the choices boil down to, um, all of the above, but
with the adjective "sexy" attached. Thus, we have sexy
cop, sexy
vampire, sexy
devil, sexy pirate,
sexy nurse (or surgeon),
sexy
witch, sexy cheerleader,
or sexy
nun (silly me, I forgot the
ever-popular
sexy schoolgirl).
Sexist, sure, but on an evening when most adults generally feel like total idiots,
the choice between being looking like a clown
or a sexy clown is an
easy one (however,
the potential catwoman who employs this costume might want to think twice).
Curiously, the seeming obliviousness of the costume wearer to the fetish
roots of
many such costumes
are staggering.Weirdly,
the sexy costume concept is expanding past typical fetish imagery. Women no
longer hold the patent on sexual attraction to the occupations of firefighter
and UPS delivery
guy, for instance—otherwise,
what are we to make of
these sexy
mutations? Finally,
not to raise hackles, but costumes
usually considered
"sexy"
for adults are
appearing at more
questionable levels. to Sex by fatherdan |

Abstract strategy games are
games such as Chess,

Sponsoring an
