I’ve been waiting all month for a new Landover Baptist newsletter, and today they deliver a few days early! I guess so they could tell us about their exciting trick or tract program.

Welcome to my home page ! Kiss you !!!!!!!!!!!! Could this be the winner of the hotly contested “International Player of the Year” trophy?

Yet another reason to love Iceland: In the next few weeks, road authority contractors will gently move a cracked gray boulder known as Grasteinn, said to be owned by dwarfs, that blocks the expansion of a highway on the outskirts of Reykjavik. The dwarfs could not be reached for comment.

McSweeney’s has a list of Less Popular Bars (in no particular order). My favorite: Karaokefenokee.

At this point, we began to consider the probability that these objects in the Turkish video were not actual Taurid objects, but rather symbolic Taurid objects, appearing in the skies over the symbolic 33degree longitude, during an eclipse in a country whose very flag is an eclipse!

When describing the gold burial mask Heinrich Schliemann (discoverer of Troy and Mycanae) found, he said, “I have gazed on the face of Agamemnon.” Now, some accuse Heinrich of faking the whole thing. This is potentially explosive stuff, and this Month’s Archaeology treats the subject with care.

Memepool pointed me to [a drinking song by Hilaire Belloc about the Pelagian Heresy -- a backlash against St Augustine. Digging deeper, I found a poem titled Jim Who Ran Away From His Nurse and was Eaten by a Lion, which was very reminiscent of Shel Silverstein.

I don’t think I’ve ever fit so many links so close together before. Thank god for Google and Blogger!

In 1989, a video hacker managed to override the Chicago PBS station’s broadcast of ‘Dr. Who’ for 90 seconds - and replace it with entertainment of his own design. Elsewhere on the tvparty site, you can hear William Shatner tell a sound engineer “Don’t tell me how to do it. It sickens me.” Space Ghost used the same line this week. A boom boom boom boom, Space Ghost!

So you’ve found out about pollution sites near your house from the EPA. Now, find out about your local crime rate courtesy of the ABP data center.

Cult TV timelord Dr Who is returning for the first time in more than three years with an entire evening of programmes being screened in his honour. Woo hoo! I wonder if BBC America plans on carrying it any time soon.
