1. Everything I have to say about today's "holiday," I said back in ought-three.
1.5 That said, why isn't there a "talk like a ninja" day?
2. Why the hell are they remaking The Eleventh Hour? You cannot replace Patrick Stewart or Ashley Jensen. Remember: The Office is the exception when it comes to remaking British TV shows (and in this day and age, with BBC America and other channels making the originals more easily available, remakes are generally pointless).
3. Free subscription to Electronic Gaming Monthly.
4. The new "Intelligent Design" movie starring Ben Stein (who used to actually be intelligent and honest)? Turns out to be made by lying liars who lie. I'm shocked.
5. Good for Mars/M&M! They're refusing to join Hershey's and others in supporting the continued lowering of standards for what defines chocolate. Not that Hershey's hasn't done an amazing job of lowering standards even within the current legal definition.
6. Book Autopsies! Ganked from
sarabellum.7. Not only is Skii-ball coming to the Wii (in the form of Game Party), but Amazon's selling it for $20 as a pre-order!
7.5 In related Wii News, there's a Williams Pinball Collection coming out! And it includes Pinbot, Firepower, and Funhouse! It also includes Whirlwind, but since the thrill of that game was the fan blowing on you, I'm guessing it'll lost a little bit in translation.
8. The Harvard Coop claims that their prices are "intellectual property." Me, I just note that there are a hell of a lot of other bookstores at Harvard Square who might want my money.
9. Eddie Haskell versus the SAG.
10. Finally, the moment we've all been waiting for: The World Beard and Moustache Championships results!
