Margaret Cho BLOG: "

If you are faint of heart, don't read this. Don't. Close this window. Now. Do it. You cannot handle it. After you close the window, get off the internet. It is too much for the faint of heart. There could be a pop up, a virus, a worm, some sixty- three year old man pretending to be a horny, pre-teen girl, at any time - so get off. Turn off your computer. Go over to the couch and sit down and turn on the TV. Try as hard as you can to get through the cable channels until you get to the comforting PAX logo on the lower right hand side of the screen. Take a deep breath and enjoy Roma Downey's unintimidating, hyperfeminine, verdant-but-not-too-bright-like-say-a-kelly-green-scoop-neck-long-stretch-velvet-dress beauty."

Lydia the Tattooed Lady
Lydia oh Lydia, that encyclopedia,
Oh Lydia the Queen of Tattoo.
On her back is the Battle of Waterloo.
Beside it the wreck of the Hespherous, too.
And proudly above waves the Red, White, and Blue,
You can learn a lot from Lydia.

La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la

When her robe is unfurled, she will show you the world,
If you step up and tell her where.
For a dime you can see Kankakee or Paris,
Or Washington crossing the Delaware.

Daring Fireball

Daring Fireball: " The Exchange/Outlook platform is quite simply a menace not only to the organizations that use it, but to the world at large. People who do not use Outlook, who have never used it, are forced to deal with tens of thousands of Sobig-infested messages flowing into their mail spools.

That's scandalous. Microsoft bears responsibility, but so too does every single organization whose computers were afflicted. To respond to this by sticking with Exchange/Outlook is outrageous. I mean, what are the odds that this will happen again? I'd say they approach 100 percent. Truly, a matter of when, not if. "

Write a Story, go to jail

Life and Deatherage: "This Wired article tells the story of Brian Robertson, a creative writer and journalism student. One day at Moore High School (Moore is part of greater Oklahoma City, just north of Norman, and is where both of the big tornadoes of the past four years went through), Brian found a Notepad file containing a paragraph called 'evacuation orders' about how to evacuate people in case of disaster. He thought it was interesting and turned it into a short story about an armed assault on his school."

Letter to Warner Brothers: A Night in Casablanca -- Chilling Effects Clearinghouse

Letter to Warner Brothers: A Night in Casablanca :

" It seems that in 1471, Ferdinand Balboa Warner, your great-great-grandfather, while looking for a shortcut to the city of Burbank, had stumbled on the shores of Africa and, raising his alpenstock (which he later turned in for a hundred shares of common), named it Casablanca.

I just don't understand your attitude. Even if you plan on releasing your picture, I am sure that the average movie fan could learn in time to distinguish between Ingrid Bergman and Harpo. I don't know whether I could, but I certainly would like to try."
