The buzz on repelling mosquitoes 02/26/04
It's winter, and it's cold (even in Texas), but the Savana Morning News saw fit to run this bit about Mosquitos and how to get rid of them. The article feeds the rumor that bugs are out in Georgia even in winter. Actually, it's an ag student's dream -- gives good advice and counters a lot of claims. Too bad they ran it in FEBRUARY!

THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST / **** (R)
The earth has stopped spinning on its axis. Seriously. For once I agree with Roger Ebert. I have not been to see "The Passion of the Christ," and I really don't intend to see it anytime soon. It sounds silly, but I really don't think I could deal with the violence. That's me -- the person who watches at least 2 hours of Law and Order per day. I just don't think I need to see the crap beat out of Jesus Christ for my sake, just one more time. Maybe it's good for some folks. Maybe they need it -- or our culture needs it. No wonder the Jews are pissed. I think Mel Gibson put his money where his mouth is when he made the thing, and I applaud him for doing it. Even though I don't want to go see it, I can still think that it needed to be made. It just isn't be for everyone. Not me at least.

The Creatures From the Sandwich Shop - Behind the singing rodents in the Quiznos ad. By Seth Stevenson

Quizno's singing rats commercial.... weird. "We love the subs! 'Cuz they are good to us...." How to come to terms with this haunting creatures.

From the same group of people -- there's the man that suckles from a wolf teat... really... Here it is.

But wait... there's more. The SpongeMonkeys really like The Moon (takes a bit to load, but in a strange way, worth it).

Groovy new search from Google Labs. Enter the zip code and what you're looking for. Amazingly accurate - better than all those crappy yellow pages sites!

Skinema: Dermatology in the cinema
A horribly serious "film buff" site. Either this poor schmuck has skin problems, or he's just got too much time on his hands -- or both.
And here's what we learned today, folks:
"Actors with skin conditions serve as examples that skin lesions can happen to anyone and can often be treated. The majority of films use skin disease to convey a character's devious motivations. Finally, very few films depict characters with skin disease sympathetically. We must remember that the attitude towards skin disease in movies to some extent both reflects and informs the perceptions of our society."

3rd Annual Nigerian EMail Conference
WHAT I REPORT IS HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL AND REQUIRES UTMOST URGENCY.
Ever get those Nigerian requests for your bank account? Did you know the Nigerians have annual conferences to organize their efforts? I used to collect the emails, print them out, and post them on a job board under "investment opportunities." For some reason, every time I got one, they cracked me up. The US government takes them seriously, though, as apparently several US businessmen have gone so far as to visit their sponsors and get themselves killed. Anyway, this is a hilarious spoof page. You'll be relieved to know that -- "The conference, it is over. It was a most successful event."
