Steve found an article called “No Backstreet Girls Allowed” about the lack of coed pop groups. I think the author needed to do some more research though. There are PLENTY of coed groups abroad. The British “Popstars” band, Hear’Say, consists of three girls and two boys, and they had the fastest selling single here EVER…

If I were Madonna, I’d be weirded out. Some of these fans sound psychotic. “The other week I got video camera footage of Madonna and Guy shopping. I got it all on tape and I’ve watched it over and over again – it’s fantastic.” !?!?

London houses are the “most costly in the world”. Well, DUH. I won’t even bother to stun you with the amount of rent we pay for our place, which (although not as much as the folks mentioned here) is a hefty chunk of change indeed. I was also disappointed to note that the two other…

WOOHOO! Since some of you ingrates (well, just one, actually) have been bitching about the purple-ness of the site, I decided to grant your wish and make web-goddess customizable. Welcome to the world of themes! Just click on preferences and then select the flavor that floats your boat. Are ya happy now? 🙂

“Domestic abuse agencies criticize ‘wife beater’ Web site.” So, okay, I was all ready to defend this guy’s right to sell wife-beater shirts. I mean, pretty much everybody calls them that nowadays (aside from the Australians, who call them “singlets”). It’s not very politically-correct, but I don’t think the name itself is going to encourage…

As an anonymous (yet helpful) visitor related, the slaughterman in question was swinging a calf carcass over his head, when the creature’s distended stomach burst…

I’ve just added yet another PHP doodad to web-goddess: a list of the last five comments. You should see it over on the left. For now it just has some test comments from me, but if you’ll leave one of your own, it should appear when you refresh the page!

I just realized that Jann, a guy I used to work with here at ND, left me a comment! I didn’t even know he knew I had this site. Hi, Jann! Incidentally, he’s got his own website with this addictive response-time test. I really suck at it… My best so far has been 0.241 seconds.

Evidently that plan to perfume London Underground stations isn’t going so well…

HA! Jake Tapper starts out by mentioning that the Notre Dame women’s national champion basketball team visited the White House yesterday. He finishes with an inspired mock-article that turns ND’s last second victory into a satirical account of the Presidential election. Very funny. My favorite part: ‘One minute into the second half, TV networks broadcasting the…
