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

Crafty folks in Sydney are invited to tonight’s Stitch ‘n’ Bitch, hosted by gadgetgirl. I’m gonna be there!

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.

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……

Trivia Update: We sucked. I couldn’t remember Jimmy Carter’s wife’s first name. I couldn’t come up with the singer of “This is How We Do It”. I couldn’t even friggin’ remember that Ricky Martin is from Puerto Rico! (My friend Marteen would kill me.) Our only highlight was naming all three of the top-selling female…
