Nazis Don't Kowtow to Art

> A stunned Italian actor had to stub out the cigarette he had lit up on stage after a spectator complained, forcing the theatre to change the script of an Arthur Miller play to make it smoke-free. > "This had never happened to me in more than 300 performances,

V-Pod

I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. A new add-on allows you to turn your i-pod into an erotic toy [http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2005520728,00.html]. The human race is ingenious, and never more so when they're obsessed with something.

Man Crush

I still hadn't fully recovered from whatever illness afflicted me this morning, when I read about "man crushes" in the Toronto Star [http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1131898685627&call_page=TS_Life&

Lesbian Bomber?

That woman who got caught in Jordan was a suicide bomber. Was she also promised 40 virgin women in heaven? Yeah, I know she was married, but what was she going to do with all those virgins? Make 'em into maids?

The Land of Cold and Queers

Just when I thought Canada couldn't get any more demented: > The Ontario government has been ordered to cover the costs of sexual reassignment surgery for three transsexuals left stranded when the previous Tory government delisted the service in 1998. > In an interim ruling, the Human Rights

Only Three Years?

It bans gays, it doesn't ban gays, it bans gays [http://www.news24.com/News24/World/News/0,,2-10-1462_1832940,00.html]: > A long-awaited Vatican document says sexually active homosexuals and those with "deeply rooted" gay tendencies or who support gay culture cannot be admitted

Walk the Line

WaPo has a great piece about Reese Witherspoon and Walk the Line. [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/11/AR2005111100442.html] I'm greatly looking forward to seeing this movie, though I dread what appears to be a whitewashing of Johnny Cash's miserable treatment

The Weekend Eudemon

This week got uglier than Al Capone [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Capone]. The day job hopped with one fire after another, Marie had to go out three evenings, and now, on Saturday, the day I revere (must be my hitherto unknown Jewish roots), Marie is leaving again. It&

Another Holiday Celebration

Like there isn't enough to celebrate already during the next six weeks: > The modern, competitive game of tiddlywinks originated in England in January 1955 when Bill Steen and R. C. Martin founded the Cambridge University Tiddlywinks Club (CUTwC). Celebrations occur in Cambridge and elsewhere during January 2005.

Kill the Retards!

NYT [http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/10/health/10down.html] and WaPo [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/09/AR2005110902079.html] appear to be excited about this (excerpt from NYT piece, though both newspapers' articles are very similar): > New tests in the first trimester
