My Needy, Clingy, Cheap-ass Virtual Friends: Grand Theft Auto IV  
GTA IV manages to simulate my leechy, neurotic, lonely cheap-ass friends -- the ones that always ask you to drive them places, never pay for anything, and drone on about their stupid lives. And no, I'm not talking about the Multiplayer version.

Two men from South Florida who posted a video of themselves trying to hook a manatee in a Hollywood, Fla., canal on their MySpace pages were ordered to serve prison time.

The Original Chicken Fight  
Ever wonder about the chicken fights in "Family Guy"? They are a reference to a C movie "Food of the Gods" in the 70's; complete with a giant chicken fight, corporate greed, fundie fun and a woman teetering between the joy of motherhood and feminism, this movie has it all. Here are some shots from FOTG. enjoy!

Green Rice  
I just got a Braun Sonic Razor (short word on that: awesome!) And it came with eough spurious material to make half another razor.
