The Straight Dope answers a question that’s been on my mind lately: Who invented hummus? I’m trying out some “Mediterranean style roasted red pepper houmous dip” today. My addiction knows no bounds.

I knew Roger Ebert wouldn’t let me down. I knew it. His review of Bridget Jones is insightful and accurate and funny. He gets it. He liked it. He even made a subtle reference to “Pride and Prejudice.” And I’m pretty sure he calls Colin Firth “luscious” in there. That’s why Ebert’s my favorite.
You know, I regularly come across disturbing search results in my website referrer logs, but it’s not very often that I come across one that’s complimentary. Today I found “korean star goddess”. And I’m the third result! I’m ranked above Korean-Babes.com!
See? Linus likes OSX. I knew those other stories were crap. Everybody should like OSX. It’s the best operating system in the world. I’m a raving convert.
Psychic connection: On Friday Matt mentioned upgrading his iMac memory and playing “The Sims”. What I did this weekend: upgrade my iMac memory and play (my brand new copy of) “The Sims.” Spooky.
McDonald’s fries have beef in them. On one hand, I’m a carnivore and they do taste good, so I could care less. On the other hand, I know a lot of people who do not and cannot eat meat (vegetarians like brigita and Jains here in London), and so I think it’s pretty crappy that they’re not required to specify all the ingredients.
Obi-wan was… bisexual? Huh. I’m envisioning all new scenarios for Episodes 2 & 3 to explain the “betrayal” between him and Anakin. Oh yes, Ewan McGregor. You know what I’m talkin’ about. Yeah, baby.
Thank you, Mr. Spielberg. I couldn’t have said it better myself. And note to the Boy Scouts: excluding someone based on gender is *not* the same as excluding someone based on sexuality. That’s why we do have boys’ and girls’ restrooms, but we don’t have gay and straight restrooms. Quit trying to pass the blame.
Ooh! I didn’t realize that the Harry Potter trailer is in theaters already. I may have to go see Spy Kids to get a glimpse.
