"Don Corleone, I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to your home on the wedding day of your daughter. And may their first child be a masculine child." --- Luca Brazi

Here's a (nonfictional?) account of an expensive wedding that will probably end in a bitter divorce and custody battle over potential masculine child.

A 50-piece orchestra played the classics you'd expect at such a reception, taking a break to perform the orchestral version of the B-52s song Love Shack, conducted by B-52s front man Fred Schneider. People pointed and took photographs, as will happen when you get Fred Schneider to conduct an orchestra at your wedding.

Yeah, same thing happened at my graduation party.

StreetWars Assassination

I just saw a pod on current.tv documenting StreetWars---a 3-week long 24/7 water gun assassination tournament. All participants start with a photo and contact details of their target. If you "kill" your target before getting killed, you then inherit your victim's current target. Rinse and repeat until there is only one left. It's Highlander meets first-person shooting video game meets super-soakers meets awesome. Here are some videos.

I gotta get in on one of these tournaments.

UPDATE:
CNN has a video on the phenomenon (sorry, only tested in Windows Media Player)

I'm a Starfish / Foetus sleeper, which somehow means something about my personality.

Lying on your back with both arms up around the pillow. These sleepers make good friends because they are always ready to listen to others, and offer help when needed. They generally don't like to be the centre of attention.

These sleepers also frequently wake up with numb arms.

The robot-mania continues. I think the administrators of ClemsonRobot.com need to post those videos to Google video before their server starts smoking.

If you make a pot of coffee and that coffee is decaf clearly label it as such. That is all I ask.
