 I've always wondered what I'd look like if I were Japanese.

 Seriously, I'm not joking: the preview to the new Britney Spears movie, Crossroads, is funny. Seriously. No, stop it, I mean it. Stop it!

 Monty Python & The Holy Grail, Lego-style.

 $25 million reward for bin Laden. Here's the text being distributed via radio in Afghanistan.

 I'm 62% addicted to the internet.

 How come no one told me Mulder and Scully did it?

 Pictures of bin Laden's house in Zazi (found at Caterina.net.)

 Score one for academia. One of my generation's most successful writers, Zadie Smith, is retiring at the ripe old age of 26 to concentrate on teaching.

 A gift for dad? Okay, maybe not. Psychedelic Republican Trading Cards.

 Interesting discussion going over on MeFi: Is Anorexia A Lifestyle Choice?
