I always wondered how old people keep their dentures in place. I never thought it involved a button though. *shudder* That’s the funniest – and grossest – thing I’ve read in a while. (Link courtesy of Chris.)

HOLY CRAP. The first Bowl Championship Series rankings are out and Notre Dame is sitting at #3! Can you believe that? We’re one spot from playing for the national friggin’ championship! (I think the fact that the BCS dropped “margin of victory” from the calculations this year helped us out a lot.) So I guess I’ll definitely be pulling an all-nighter this weekend to hear the Florida State game. If any of y’all are at your computers during it, instant message me to keep me awake. 🙂

I posted another interview with Roald Dahl over at my Dahl site. He just cracks me up. I mean, he out and out lies! He’s still claiming he got “shot down” over Libya during World War II, when in fact he ran out of gas and crash landed. He also pontificates on why he “never” wrote a novel, when in reality he tried one early in his career and it was a colossal flop. What a crotchety old egocentric man. (I did like the part where he ripped on the craptacular Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.)

They’ve finally started airing Vanilla Coke commercials here Down Under, and they all star… Chazz Palminteri. Seriously. Did he do them in the States too, or is this one of those “as-long-as-they-don’t-show-it-in-America” type things?

The Snook’s job has too many damn perks. First he got to see Spider-Man in a sneak preview weeks before I did. Now he tells me that he’s been invited to a beer-tasting event hosted by a local micro-brewery tonight. He continues, “What’s more, Nema (the marketing dude) has an invite for the Cleo magazine swimsuit pool party afterwards and invited us to that too. Hank [his co-worker] and I said no because we are whipped.” Isn’t that sweet?

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in ages: Name That Beard! I got 7/10 correct. Be sure to have the sound on; the theme song (and the clips they play for each answer) are the best part. I shot Diet Coke out of my nose on the last one. 🙂

Good grief. The nation is still mourning the Bali tragedy, and some psycho opened fire at a Melbourne university today. Two students were killed and five injured before others managed to tackle the gunman. Is it ever possible to get numb to this stuff?

Hey Potter-philes! I found some news regarding possible titles for the remaining books. The story speculates that there may even be an eighth book on the way! (I think that’s probably a remote chance, though. Rowling has always maintained that it would just be seven. But hey, maybe she wants her cash cow to graze a little longer…)
