| Monday Aug 19, 2002 | What do Anna
Nicole Smith, Buffy
the Vampire-Slayer and Enterprise
have in common? They all suck, they're all from outer space and they
are all mercilessly, yet lovingly reviewed by people at Television Without
Pity who are clearly smart enough to be embarrassed at the amount
of time they spend thinking about this stuff.

| Saturday Aug 17, 2002 | Forget The Two Towers, what you really want is this ~4MB QuickTime movie about Bilbo Baggins, sung by a man who needs to eat more salsa. Or, if you'd prefer, just listen to a RealAudio version of it here. Or, hell, just go get drunk. to Music by crikey |

word oddities and trivia.

| Friday Aug 16, 2002 | Kartoo is a relational search engine interface. Instead of displaying a list of links, in ranked order, it displays the results of a given search in a graphical, networked format. Nodes are linked to each other by common terms, which you can add and remove to further restrict the search graphically. The links between the nodes are color coded, allowing you to, with minimal effort, see how terms relate different sites, and nodes are displayed by size, according to relevance to the search term.

| Sunday Aug 11, 2002 | Contrary to what you'd probably think, Hand on a Hard Body doesn't have anything to do with sexual hijinks. It chronicles one of many contests in which the last participant standing and touching a vehicle gets to take it home. Those eager to try their hand at standing for 81-some-odd-hours should beware the professional competition. to Movies by fool |
| Friday Aug 9, 2002 | Although it seems that Davey and Goliath are making a return to TV, the Christian efforts of Ned Flanders have not gone unnoticed. In fact, an upcoming religious festival features a tribute night that promises a lookalike contest and the tribute band Ned Zeppelin. To hear (realplayer needed) it from the organizer Ned is both humble and faithful though not necessarily all a joke.

| Joseph Stalin once said that
"quantity has a quality all its own."
Although he was probably talking about
infantry
divisions or
tractor quotas, it's
equally true of
pet ownership.
Witness the not-so-fine line between being a mere
"cat lover" and a
full-blown
crazy
cat lady. While a
cat lover
may own two or three pampered
felines, a true crazy cat lady owns dozens (or more) and doesn't let
concerns like her ability to
feed,
house,
or clean up after her "pets"
get in the way of her obsession.
Some of America's champion crazy cat ladies include:
Gloria
Davis from Sarasota, FL (100+ cats),
Elizabeth
Riddle from Richland, PA (100+ cats),
Beverly
Hardacre from Methuen, NH (more than 150 cats),
Bonnie
Kemppainen from Virginia, MN (155+ cats),
Marilyn Barletta of Petaluma, CA
(196 cats)
Debra Rexelle
from Modesto, CA (212 cats)
and, as the reigning Queen of Crazy Cat Ladies,
Hanne Kaea
from Omaha, NE with a whopping 270 feral cats living in her house.
