Mmm-hmm... but when you release them into the wild, do other birds...I mean, cats destroy them on sight? Signs point to yes.

Willow Dont Cry

A gold lame-clad Amazon fights evil sorceresses and raps about Willow Ufgood.

The special effects are, um...unusual.

That's right, you greasy rat-trap-- leave Christmas dinner alone!

"My colleagues would kill me for saying this, but historians are increasingly conscious of the fact that we can't write history. What we can write about is the way in which people see history and think history happens." And turning my remark back at me he continued, "So, is this a book about Druids with no Druids in it, or are the real Druids these amazing characters like William Price, William Stukeley, Iolo Morganwg and the rest?"

Paganism as we know it may not be ancient, but it certainly has an interesting history.

Living Between Wednesdays: Mary-Jane Loves Laundry

"I would like a statue of Spider-Man doing his own goddamn laundry. That would actually be kind of cute. But this is the worst thing I have ever seen."

Religious Fundamentalist Mickey Mouse. Scary.

The first time I saw this I assumed that it was a parody. Between the dollar-store foam tile backdrop and "We will win, Condoleeza!", it's hard not to.

Alas, no such luck.

"Oh, Bwoon-hiwda, how I wuv you!"

Oddly enough, this was drawn by someone who actually worked on the Princess of Power cartoon.

"Kool-Aid pickles violate tradition, maybe even propriety. Depending on your palate and perspective, they are either the worst thing to happen to pickles since plastic brining barrels or a brave new taste sensation to be celebrated."

I'm afraid my sympathies lie with the "worst thing ever" camp.

Ornery astronomer wants women off the BBC - Feministing

Wed, 09 May 2007 14:50:22 -0700

"The BBC has been ruined by women producing 'terrible programmes', according to Sir Patrick Moore."

"My only question: how seriously can we take the opinion of someone whose monocle (yes, monocle) is held in place by rogue eyebrow hair?"

Seriously, though, Doctor. Eccentric is cool and all, but it can't hide the fact that, as our friend The Paper Bag Princess would say, "You are a...BUM!"

"They went over the rules one more time with Flynn. That's when they all noticed the fine print. If the kids didn't win the contest ... "We couldn't produce our book!"� says Catherine, disbelief still in her voice. "We would lose our rights!" Max recalls with indignation.

At the Scholastic Web site, the contest rules state: "From the time of submission, entries become the property of Scholastic Book Fairs."�

Brenna says, "We would only get $5,000 in merchandise for the school from Scholastic and 100 copies of our book."

...

They made a group decision.

"If we could publish it somewhere else,"� says Brenna, "we could get more money... we want to donate it to the Leukemia Foundation."

Excellent critical thinking. These kids are swifter than many adults out there.
