This MeFi thread has been a goldmine of monkey-related awesomeness. F'rexample:

• "It has three buttons on its chest. One makes it turn into a monkey, the second gives it extra strength, the third makes it invisible," said Kumari, a housemaid. "But he is afraid of the light."
  
• Ghost monkeys
  
• "What if it were only you and the hungry beast out in the wild and you had no place to run? Could you handle it? Could you survive? Those of you who would like to learn the answers to these questions should take a trip to "Monkey Mountain".

Saw this yesterday while buying lunch:



Diet Air? It sounds like a bad joke.

While poking around Snapple's website doesn't immediately reveal any info on Diet Air, I did find the Gallery of Retired Flavors and the relatively fun Real Facts game.

Found while researching the last post: Marvel characters are available for your next grocery store opening or church function! be sure to check when they're coming to your town! (And if you have the bandwith, in the name of all that's funny you have to check out the video.)

I get tired of the name-calling and calling-out that goes on among the so-called "professionals" of the comics industry. That's why though I think I'll sit out the U-Decide Challenge (no matter how much I like PAD), I'll answer to an honest acknowledgement of a problem and a plan of action every time--especially when it's for a great book like The Power Company.

The Pope isn't looking so hot these days, but he's sure survived an awful lot.

Still messing with getting the manually-edited but automatically-sydicated XML-powered OD Newsfeed up and running on the right. As you can see, getting the formatting (much of which is still done manually until I find the sweet spot and then automate it) right is the hard part. That, and I need to dedicate an hour or so to making up a logo for the silly thing. Check out some of the links provided and let me know what you think.

JP sends along a page on the Cruft Scale; I give my laptop a 2.7--despite its recent reformat (hardware stress really needs to measured on there somewhere), and my yet to be purchased home desktop machine a negative infinity.

"The Simpsons, a typical american family, an icon for america. A family that can make cry, and to laugh the rest of the time. The Simpsons have been able to combine The Jokes of Jay Leno of the tonight show, with a unique cartoon family in a odd little town, where who what will happen. If you don't laugh while watching the Simpsons, I don't know what will."

A foreign fan of the Simpsons? No, it's Chris from Macomb, MI on Amazon's page for the upcoming Simpsons Second Season DVD set.
