These things disgust me! When is America going to get good gun laws? Screw the NRA. Screw Charlton Heston. We need to keep weapons of destruction out of the hands of everybody. And where the hell do people get AK-47s??

Jen Grubb, nemesis of Weasels everywhere, has apparently been drafted into the WUSA (Women’s United Soccer Assocation). This brings the number of former ND players in the league up to 10.

Oh cute! Apparently Meaghan Leahy, a senior on our women’s basketball team, finally got to play on the same court as her younger sister Maureen, a freshman at Boston College. I got a kick out of reading how their parents tried to appease both groups of fans during the game.

Oh wow. Max tipped me off that Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is going to be an IMAX film. How cool is that? I saw Fantasia 2000 when it played in London at the Trocadero, and I’d LOVE to see B&B play there too. (Although I’ll probably have to go by myself again and fight my way through the hordes of screaming ankle biters.)

Ironminds asks: Is George W. Bush updating the White House Web site himself? This just gets funnier and funnier. Update: Kel pointed out that the real White House site is whitehouse.gov. Apparently Ironminds and I got duped. Sorrrrrry, George.

Hey Brigita! Looks like the American eToys is going under as well. You best head over there ASAP… They’ve got a “75% Off Everything Sale” goin’ on!

I have been unable to resist the fun of joining in with Brigita and Max to find out my pokéname. Apparently I am “Pikarider” and I live in the icy glaciers of Nunavut. My diet consists mostly of meatballs, fruits and kerosene. I have a fear of tahini and kippers. (They got that right.) I also have gossamer wings (Awww, pretty!) and the ability to resist sledgehammers. In combat situations, I can swim in lava and shoot fire. Sounds like I pretty much kick ass.

Ooh, geeky Star Wars fun. It’s an Ask the Emperor Magic 8-Ball type thing. I asked him whether I should take my lunch hour now, and he said, “I find your lack of faith disturbing.” I’m still trying to interpret that one.

I didn’t like Plastic.com when it first came out, but it’s grown on me. In fact, I think I’m a full-fledged karma whore now. I’ve posted, like, 8 times in the last hour. I think it has to do with the fact that I’ve been lurking on Slashdot forever and longing to participate, but I was worried that I didn’t have the technical knowledge to add anything to the discussions. But pop culture? That’s totally my bag, baby!

Wow! Some engineering students just pulled off the prank of a lifetime: suspending a VW beetle from the Golden Gate Bridge.
