New kind of beetle found! By CBC staff! Staff on the state-owned CBC Newsworld, where, suspiciously like Fox News Channel’s O’Reilly Factor, “The Spin Stops Here”! (-- or is that just on their “Politics” program?) apparently discovered the new creature. They called it the “GREENHOUSE BEETLE”. Most other people, like the folks at the National Post, which features the little bugger on their front page today, call it the Mountain Pine Beetle. Labcoats call it Dendroctonus Ponderosae. Bu

Heading off to Video Games Live - important!

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 12:14:27 PDT
Hey gang, we are all getting ready to go to Video Games Live for the evening. I won’t be back until late tonight (most likely in-between 1 and 2 AM EST). Normally, that would mean that there wouldn’t be any site updates. Bethany isn’t around to take care of the site, and Deux wanted to, but he has work. That left me with a new option to try. I have future dated some of my posts, and published them. That means, if all goes well, the site should continue to auto-update while I am away. I honestly

Baby Mama Movie Review

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 12:16:11 PDT
There’s a lot of love out there for Tina Fey, and for good reason. She’s a funny, funny lady. And her presence and influence in the new film Baby Mama is easily what helped this film not become lost in the wash of pregnancy movies we’ve had over the past year. But all that love should not be given only to Tina Fey. Amy Poehler deserves some love as well, and not the Dax Shepard kind. (God knows, no one deserves the Dax Shepard kind of love. You hear that, Kristen Bell?) I have had a thing f

Bill Clinton Says Portland Pundits Are Wrong About Rural Oregon

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 12:21:37 PDT
ABC News' Sarah Amos reports: President Bill Clinton is excited to be courting rural votes across the state of Oregon today, even if the Portland pundits don’t think it will make a difference in the Oregon primary. Beginning his day in Junction City, Ore. -- a small community just outside of Eugene -- the former president told the crowd how he had read an article this morning saying that Clinton's visit to rural areas wouldn't pay off in Oregon the way it had in other states like Pennsylvani

Fire temple enters its 300th year

For the past few centuries, they have been one of Mumbai’s most important religious and architectural landmarks. On Thursday, the city’s oldest Zoroastrian fire temple-the Banaji Limji agiary-enters its 300th year. Tucked away in a side lane called Banaji Lane opposite the Akbarallys showroom, the ancient fire was consecrated in 1709 by Seth Banaji Limji, a prosperous Parsi businessman. “It is the oldest surviving agiary in Mumbai,” said Parsi historian Marzban Giara. Incidentally, the seco

Falcons Use #2 Pick on BC QB Matt Ryan

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 12:23:13 PDT
Can the Falcons get back to being competitive? They think so, and will start that phase with a quarterback, as Saturday they passed on DT Glenn Dorsey of LSU and instead went with QB Matt Ryan, the senior QB of Boston College. Ryan will be the start of a new regime with the Falcons, as he will hopefully put the past seasons nightmare with Michael Vick, DeAngelo Hall, and Bobby Petrino behind them. Last season with BC Ryan threw for 31 touchdowns, 19 picks, and 4,507 yards. The Falcons wan
