Photo Album: A Day In the Life of Killers rebekahsue, submitted to Digg

In January of 2007, a photo album was donated to the US Holocaust Museum. Unlike so many of the existing published photos, these are of Nazis. Playing with dogs, singing in a field, they, in these pictures, remind us that they were otherwise ordinary human beings ... this is what people can do to each other in the name of power and supremacy.

"Stop Bugging Me, Debt Collector!" sample letter, rebekahsue, submitted to Digg
According to The Clark Howard Show, under the Fair Debt Collection Act, not only does the debt collector have to cease and desist but, if he doesn't, you can sue in small claims. While one should pay one's debts, the sending of a letter such as this would make the phone and mail seem friendlier! (Link via consumerist.com.)

The truth about the Boy In the Bubble - rebekahsue submitted to Digg

David Vetter was born with Severe Combined Immune Deficiency Syndrome - think of an immune system that worse than an AIDS patient's. He was portrayed, loosely, in a TV movie as pretty happy. Mary Murphy was a psychologist who knew him, and who says that his world wasn't as happy as was protrayed. WILL her book be published? Read a synopsis.

The Harry Potter Sensation - a Jewish point of view - rebekahsue submitted to Digg
AISH ("the Jewish Website") published this article. Religion and Potter don't mix well. In THIS article, the author and her family are "fighting" over who gets the book next, while wondering about the Potter phenomenon. Because "Just like Harry, we succeed one day and are beaten back the next," the author sees the Harry Potter series as... Jewish!

Nimoy returns to role as Spock (first published instance of this story! - rebekahsue submitted to Digg
Star Trek without Spock is like science fiction without imagination: one without the other is illogical. Leonard Nimoy, telling fans at Comic-con, "This is really going to be a great movie. And I don't say things like that lightly," will play the brilliant Mr. Spock in the December 08 film. Kirk hasn't been cast, but Spock continues to ... Prosper.
