Break out the black armbands, low-carbers. Dr. Atkins is in critical condition after slipping on ice and banging his head. Ouch.

Guilty!
Whoa! The Millionaire cougher was found guilty! I figured they’d get off. Fortunately for us (if we ever get on) the Australian host is such a complete tool that he gives away the answers.

7.9?!
Some cheeky bugger has submitted a photo of John Howard, Australia’s Prime Minister, to Am I Hot or Not? He’s currently polling 7.9, which I can’t believe. I gave him a 2. The man really is a troll.

Ebert
Ebert is embroiled in the debate over Bowling for Columbine‘s accuracy. Interesting stuff.

Humpty Doo!
Actual Australian towns: Humpty Doo, Hat Head, Seventeen Seventy, Poowong, and Monkey Mia. There are hundreds of other funny ones, but those are my current favorites.

Congrats, Russ
Well, our Russ got hitched today. The Snook was talking to me about something completely unrelated when they flashed some “official” shots from the wedding on the news. I hadn’t even had a chance to comment when he burst out, “Oh my God! Look at his hair!” It cracked me up. (The Snook, not Russell Crowe. Although that hair really was atrocious.) He likes to pretend that he’s so above such superficial tabloid celebrity crap, but really he’s a closeted pop culture beeyotch like the rest of us. 🙂

Dr. Who
Damn! There’s a Dr. Who Convention in town this weekend and I didn’t know about it. I should get over there and see if I can take some orders for scarves. Although now that I think about it, the kind of fan that would fly to Australia for a convention probably already has a scarf… right?

Fun little game
The Snook’s company has released a fun little time-waster of a Flash game called Penguin Panic. It’s basically Frogger, just with a little penguin. Apparently in the first version there were polar bears that you had to avoid, but Rodd eventually stopped laughing and pointed out that penguins and polar bears live at opposite poles. 🙂
Eek! Link removed. Apparently that’s just a secret little test thing and I wasn’t really supposed to link to it. Oops! If you linked it on your blog or something, could you take it down for now? I’ll tell you when we get permission.

Fanfic
I used to have a life. I used to, like, step away from the computer every now and then. That was before I found this My So-Called Life fan fiction linked on John’s site. I thought I could just take a peek… and then Brian Krakow got cancer, and now I’m going to have to read the whole damn thing.
