How well do you know your fundamentalist hate-mongers? Take the Falwell-Robertson-Bin Laden Quiz. I only got 8 out of 20 correct. On the page with the answers, be sure to read the context of the very last one. I couldn’t believe it. (Link courtesy of Steve.)

Wow. You know that Greyhound bus crash this week, where the driver’s throat was slashed? He survived. I thought he was one of the six who died. That’s amazing.
Well, I’m still here. Whether that will be true at the end of the day remains to be seen.
This is the first Rebecca Gayheart article I’ve read that didn’t refer to her as the “Noxema girl”. Unfortunately this incident didn’t do a lot to dispel my image of her as your average Hollywood airhead bimbo.
Recently Matt was reminiscing about vintage high school and community theater production T-shirts. I’ve probably got half a dozen myself, so as an experiment I’ve set up a CafePress store. There’s only one design at present, and I’ve priced it at cost so I’m not making a profit. I know that 99% of the population could care less. But for you theater nerds, whaddaya think? Wouldn’t you like to have a shirt from a completely random production?
It’s pretty bad here. Every five minutes we hear another name, and several of them have been gasp-worthy “No, no him!” type events. Nobody’s doing any work. I’m not even sure if the people on my team have survived. Most of the people who’ve been laid off are already down at the pub. A lot of the bastards are happy. I’ve been hearing that the redundancy package is pretty sweet. Frustratingly, the Snook and I have heard nothing. We’re debating on volunteering, despite the fact that it wasn’t publicly offered. We’ll see how it goes.
Yahoo Serious, the Australian actor responsible for this comic gem is apparently suing Yahoo! for infringing upon his trademark. This is hilarious. Snookums (a big fan) just commented, “When he forces them to hand the site over, I’ll be his IT dude.”
This cheered me up. It’s a true story about the men aboard a German warship showing solidarity with their American Naval friends a few weeks ago.
The rumors swirling for the past few days have solidified. The e-mail from the company president has arrived. A “significant number” of people are going to get canned over the next few days. *crossing fingers* Australia, here we come!
Wow! Apparently there’s dissension among the ranks of the UK bloggers. Some people aren’t happy about it. Wow, I feel so out of the loop. On one hand I’m trapped in this UK/US blogging netherworld without a clique of my own to feel protective about. On the other hand, this bitchiness is sure fun to watch from a distance!
