First Columbo movie was fun...the M.O. of letting the bad guy be lulled into a false sense of security by a bumbler is a solid one. The writing has held up, and the acting is a lot better than other shows of the period. Nice use of Double Indemnity on TV as a story within a story.

Wow... the menstrualhut has over 2250 members now. When I first started it, I had no idea it'd still be growing and active five years later, pretty much on its own. I'm going to have to swing by the Museum of Menstruation when I'm in Maryland. His site is a goodly part of why the hut got rolling in the first place.

Washington D.C. (AHN) - A heap of debris taken from quarry trash in Mexico has yielded a stone block inscribed with what researchers believe is the oldest writing ever found in the New World. Researchers say the serpentine block dates back almost 3,000 years and was created by people from Olmec civilization.

This morning, the world smells of talc, steam, fresh linen and a faint hint of soap. It feels clean.

The Shire has many flavors of eighteenth century English architecture and landscaping chosen because the style of the period was enchanting, evoking good feelings of a simpler lifestyle than the present.

If they were in true hobbit style, I could really see Danny going to live there.

Moment of Lyric -

( ... )

First in my class here at MIT
Got skills, I'm a champion at D&D
MC Escher - that's my favorite MC
Keep your 40, I'll just have an Earl Grey tea
My rims never spin, to the contrary
You'll find that they're quite stationary
All of my action figures are cherry
Steven Hawking's in my library
My MySpace page is all totally pimped out
Got people beggin' for my top eight spaces
Yo, I know pi to a thousand places
Ain't got no grills but I still wear braces
I order all of my sandwiches with mayonnaise
I'm a whiz at Minesweeper - I could play for days
Once you see my sweet moves you're gonna stay amazed
My fingers' movin' so fast I'll set the place ablaze
There's no killer app I haven't run
At Pascal, well I'm number one
Do vector calculus just for fun
I ain't got a gat but I got a soldering gun
Happy Days is my favorite theme song
I could sure kick your butt in a game of ping pong
I'll ace any trivia quiz you bring on
I'm fluent in JavaScript as well as Klingon

Via Lore -

I just learned something totally amusing and insane! The "Mahna Mahna" song made famous by the Muppets started out in the soundtrack to Svezia, inferno e paradiso (1968),a softcore pornography film! It was apparently used as the backing music for a scene involving lesbian BDSM! I completely need to see this movie! And yet, it doesn't seem to be on sale anywhere. I've said this before, but something has clearly gone wrong with capitalism.

Sean has alerted Lore to the existence of the trailer on YouTube. Warning: contains boobs and butts. Also warning: Does not contain the Mahna-Mahna song.

My favorite Spanish word is "cosquilloso." Koss-kee-yo-so.

Cosquilloso, por supuesto. Cosquilloso, por supuesto. Feels good, doesn't it?
