• So the David Carson lecture was a dud. It\’s postponed till next week and nobody bothered to post signs or anything. Luckily some guy found out it was moved and came to the room to tell the 6 of us that were there.

  • Poor Spelling Children Pay Dearly for \”Letters to Satan\”

    \”Ten-year-old Sally Ryder mistakenly asked Satan for a pony and was trampled to death by the Budweiser Clydesdales at a football game.\”

  • I picked up an application for graduation at the ICS office today. It needs to be TYPED (their emphasis). What? Computer science requires the application to be typed? I\’m surprised they don\’t have online applications.

    Anyway, Irving has a typewriter so I took it to his place. As I was filling it out I came across an optional question: \”Plans for the year after graduation.\” I\’m really tempted to write \”Use my skills for evil.\”

  • House of 1000 Corpses, written and directed by Rob Zombie, isn\’t going to be released by Universal. The initial version of the movie received a NC-17 rating. What was Universal expecting? It\’s directed by Rob Zombie, you know it\’s gonna be a fucked up movie. Hopefully a small film company will distribute it.

  • So, is this the end of Napster? Maybe not. A Canadian wants to set up a new version of Napster located on an offshore data haven, where governments and corporations can\’t touch it. He needs to raise $15,000, though.

  • Police Nab \’Fake Doctor\’ — After 22 Years.

    \”The man, who was not named, had, however, qualified in alternative medicine. He was also a trained hairdresser.\”

    Later that day, investigators determined he was a fake hairdresser too.

  • Guillotine Trap Severs Girl\’s Hand. I realy have to applaud the guy who set up the trap. After being repeatedly robbed, with police unable to catch the robbers, he took the law into his own hands. Charles Bronson would be proud.

  • GameSpot previewed the Final Fantasy movie. They say the graphics and animation are good, but the lip synching is a little off.

  • It was supposed to rain yesterday and today. All over the news I heard about the storm that\’s \”pounding the southland.\” Right. The closest I came to rain was when I wet my bed last night.
