Green mile

Hey again,

Yes, I would be a little queasy and uneasy hiking El Caminito del Rey, a ruined path along the walls of a gorge in Spain certainly not fit for a king. After four people died at the turn of the millennium, the local government closed off the entrances. However this intrepid filmmaker/raving lunatic decided to walk on the wild side. Screw that -- I'll take the elevator.

Star Wars with boxes
Small box version of George Lucas's extravagant epic shows lots of creativity (and an E for effort). Or "low-fi sci-fi", as B3TA called it.

Jokeoftheday: Go Nuclear
(Thanks Kory)

A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the stranger turned to her and said, "Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger." The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the stranger, "What would you like to talk about?"

"Oh, I don't know," said the stranger. "How about nuclear power?" and he smiles.

"OK," she said. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff  -grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out  a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?"

The stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."

To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?"


War in.
