Made where?

Drudge has a story up that alleges an odd sort of cover-up.

A sharp history lesson

A man in England has apparently committed suicide with a guillotine.

I'm about to pass out from refraining from making really bad jokes about this.

I Am

Which tarot card are you?

Yeah, it's kind of weird and the questions are redundant, but it's still a kick.

Besides, you don't have any fan mail to answer, so why not click and take it now?

China blocks BlogSpot

ZDNet is reporting that China has blocked BlogSpot, a blogging site where a lot of us got our starts. It's also a service that still powers some of us.

Regardless of how one feels about BlogSpot, this is still a sad story. Go read.

' 'Cause when he got that feeling...'

... He needed sexual healing.

Really.

The doctor's diagnosis said so.

Kiss the girls good-bye

HBO will be abstaining from a seventh season of “Sex and the City” it was announced Tuesday.

The popular HBO series' end will coincide with the end of HBO's other criminally popular hit -- "The Sopranos." Considering these two shows made HBO a serious contender in the ratings game, breaking things off with "Sex and the City" probably isn't the smoothest move HBO could have made.

Eeewww!

"A 77-year-old German prostitute was mugged after leaving a brothel at the end of her night shift." That just sends chills down my spine.

Aim your headlights on this great headline

The copy editors at PageSix.com came up with a doozy of a headline for this latest story on Martha Stewart: "CHRYSLER SLAMS DOOR ON MARTHA DEAL."

Evidently, Chrysler and Martha had been cooking up an advertorial deal and since Martha's legal battles have heated up, Chrysler has cooled on the idea.

It's a juicy read, damn near succulent. Well, it's not quite all that, but go read anyway.

This just in

Anna Nicole Smith's cups have runneth over so much that she's been Blackwell-listed on Mr. B's Worst Dressed List.

This really doesn't come as a surprise.

What is kind of a surprise is that Mr. Blackwell hasn't updated his site since 1998 it seems.

Good thing this guy isn't a blogger.

Happy anniversary (?)

Drudge links to a story on Yahoo! (ugh) about the Internet's birthday.

It was on Jan. 1, 1983, that the 400 or so computers hooked to what was then called ARPANET had to switch to a communications protocol called TCP/IP, said Vint Cerf, the protocol's co-inventor.

It was TCP/IP that allowed multiple networks to coexist and permitted applications like the World Wide Web to develop and thrive. In other words, it made the Internet what it is today.

I tried to find a more in-depth story about this, but alas, this is all I could find. I still consider the 'Net to have been around for much longer than 20 years.

So do others.

Some, however, consider the Internet's age to be a more mature 33.

On Sept. 2, 1969, two computers at the University of California, Los Angeles, linked by a 15-foot cable, sent data back and forth, showing that the Internet could work.

And it does work. Thankfully.

Bon Appetit?

This is so gross, but I guess it does pose one with the question: What is art?

I'm sorry, folks, but on any given day I'll take "Dogs Playing Poker" over a Chinese man eating a dead baby on television.
