Trivia

Attention Hollywood: Casino Royale can now be bought from a street vendor at the Palenke in our rural town for 30 pesos (65 cents). Boy, those chinese pirates are efficient.
--------------------------
Right wing magazine has an update on a muslim woman threatening to sue because she was insulted for praying in a gym...it seems that she was blocking the locker of another patron, and got upset when she was politely asked to move.
------------------
Bill Clinton, when asked about the Baker Report's advice to ask Iran and Syria to help calm things in Iraq, told Dutch TV: "Right now the Iranians don't want to do anything, probably because their policy seems to be, whatever causes America heartburn is good for us,"

The AP reporter, realizing Clinton made a faux pais by speaking the truth, helpfully tried to hide his remarks and instead phrased the headline: "Clinton supports dialogue with Iran".
-----------------------
There seems to be some sniggering about what the "christian" response to Mary Cheyney's pregnancy should be.
Well, it should be a "we wish you well" to her and a quiet prayer that she have a safe delivery.

Finally, looking for a house to rent? Complete with goblins? Well here is a deal for you...

Want to own a 16th century fairy tale cottage in England, complete with goblins on the kitchen walls painted by Brian Froud, Alan Lee, Charles Vess and other artists? Here's an extremely rare opportunity to do so. The cottage is located in the middle of a small, bucolic country village at the edge of Dartmoor...perfect for a writer, painter, or dreamer seeking inspiration in the countryside.
