The Doctor and Rose go for a literary walking tour. And there are no do-overs, even with a tardis.

George Takei comes out of the closet. Huh.

And I found this little snippet - which shows what happens when I spend too much time pondering the “why are we here” questions.

A day is wasted
if you do not know more at the end

if you do not leave the world
better than you found it.

Can’t say I thought of it right away, but it seems there’s a chance we can ACTUALLY make wonder woman’s jet now. Which, when you really think about it, would not be a good thing.

But there’s a trailer up for Underworld: Evolution

More than one has compared Bush to Nero, but none I think has done it so well. Scroll to the middle of the page to read the whole poem, or listen to the realaudio rendition. And, because I do believe in whetting the appitite, here’s the first stanza:

Comparing our imperial leader today to Nero,
whose troops were also engaged in occupation
of Parthian lands along the Euphrates, with about
the same luck as today, we surely must temper
our judgments, forgive a few lies and lives lost,
give thanks that most of the deaths are uncounted,
and not ours. After all, our leader did not murder
his mother. He and she are on excellent terms.

Or, the military is working on transparent aluminum. huh.
