The CGI video Duel is pretty cool…

Comedy Central has a great video spotlighting Harlan McCraney, W’s brilliant speech writer (embedded QuickTime video). Quite insightful (and hilarious)… 🙂

Thai Fishermen Catch 646-Pound Fish
Yesterday Thai Fishermen caught a 646-pound catfish. The first thing that came to mind when I read this was the Simpsons episode War Of The Simpsons, in which Homer catches “General Sherman,” an immense catfish, instead of attending a marriage retreat session with Marge. His legendary accomplishment is recollected by a clerk in the local bait and tackle shop:
Clerk: Yep, `General Sherman’. They say he’s five hundred pounds of bottom-dwelling fury, don’t you know. No one knows how old he is, but if you ask me (and most people do), he’s hundred years if he’s a day.
Customer: And uh no one’s ever caught him?
Clerk: Well, one fella came close. Went by the name of Homer. Seven feet tall he was, with arms like tree trunks. His eyes were like steel, cold, hard. Had a shock of hair, red like the fires of Hell.
I’m actually a little disappointed that the Thai fisherman caught a fish bigger than General Sherman… 😉

MIT Weblog Survey
Boing Boing posts about the MIT Weblog Survey:
The MIT Media Lab’s Cameron Marlow, creator of the excellent Blogdex service, is in the final throes of his PhD, and as part of his project, he’s conducting a survey of bloggers:
This is a general social survey of the greater weblog community being conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Our goal is to help understand the way that weblogs are affecting the way we communicate with each other. Specifically we are interested in issues of demographics, communication behaviors, experience with weblogs and other technology, and the meaning of various types of social links within the blogosphere.
William Hung + Billy Ray Cyrus = Apocalypse?
FARK reports that “[horrific American Idol reject] William Hung to hook up with Billy Ray Cyrus [horrific country music wannabe] for remake of Achy Breaky Heart. Scientists fear collision of two self-parody media footnotes could create black hole of suckage so strong, it could destroy the universe.” Most distressing…
