apocalypsosThe more I see the story about Hilary Swank having to pay for bringing fruit into New Zealand, the more annoyed I get. The woman probably has pairs of shoes that cost less than that, and hell, I could pay that fine. And right now, I have a buck and a half in my pocket.
As her parents lay mortally wounded, a 5-year-old girl called 911, telling an emergency dispatcher, "I think they're dead." Oh, that poor little girl.
Belgian trainers helping police to understand body language have caused a controversy by likening George Bush's facial expressions to a chimpanzee's. Look, like him or not, the man looks like a chimp. If more people liked him, it'd be endearing and cute. Since they don't, it's an insult. Sheesh.
Plasticized fetus stolen from exhibition -- EW.
A Shanghai online game player stabbed to death a competitor who sold his cyber-sword, the China Daily said Wednesday, creating a dilemma in China where no law exists for the ownership of virtual weapons. Now that's taking the gaming a wee bit far.
A woman rushing to a hospital to give birth hit a few stops along the way — first at a gas station where she delivered the baby herself, then when confused police ordered her out of the car at gunpoint. Okay, I'm definitely not complaining about having a bad day anytime soon. It can't possibly compare to that.
Harry Knowles reviews Sahara. I really, really want to see Sahara. I don't know why, since I can see Matthew McConnaughey be pretty at home with my DVDs, but the trailer amuses me.
The TWoP recaplet for this week's double episode of The Amazing Race. Reading that makes me happy. Especially the ending. :)
A Vatican cardinal denounced the death Thursday of Terri Schiavo, saying removing the feeding tube that was keeping her alive was "an attack against God." Oh, for Pete's sake.
