I can't believe I missed the competition this year!

Andrews has been named Miss International Queen 2006 here, besting 23 of the world's most beautiful transsexuals who had come from as far as Egypt and Australia to vie for the diamante crown.

OK, I really thought this was a joke (and it still could be), but Scott Adamas talks about it on his site too.

For a while there, Scott Adams could only speak in rhyme. Or while pinching his nose. The man behind the "Dilbert" cartoon strip says he suffers from Spasmodic Dysphonia, an ailment in which the parts of the brain controlling speech don't work properly.

I am loving this show.  I think its my new favorite live action show.  Here is a clip from the Pilot.

Lots of old TV series.  Everything from Homicide to Danger Mouse.

I'm glad they got rid of the drink.  It was so confusing.  Everytime I went in there I was expecting a bunch of Columbians to jump out with Machettes.  And that's just for the Slurpees, the Cocaine was really dangerous.

According to the label, each 8.4-fluid ounce can contains 280 milligrams of caffeine — more jolt than a cup of coffee, a can of Coca-Cola or the leading energy drink, Red Bull — but no cocaine.

Is it less cruel that the dog was dead, or just weirder?

Troopers said a woman from the day care center called for animal control because there was a dead dog near the property that had been hit by a car several days earlier.

Before officers could arrive, the man showed up and began engaging in sexual acts with the dog, police said. The animal control officer also reported seeing Kuch involved in the sex act and as he approached him, Kuch shoved him away and ran off.

I'm normally not a Anime Music Video guy, but I liked this one.

Giant robo stars in this AMV the music is See Who I am from Within Temptation. Minor changes, added new scenes and fixed some timing.If you are famililar with the series then you'll understand why this song is soooo fitting…

Sounds like a fun series of books.  The page also mentions that the live action movie should hit the US in 2007.

Your body is their business! Five young students at a Buddhist university, three guys and two girls, find little call for their job skills in today's Tokyo . . . among the living, that is! But all that stuff in college they were told would never pay off-you know, channeling, dowsing, ESP-gives them a direct line to the dead . . . the dead who are still trapped in their corpses and can't move on to the next reincarnation.

TV Squad has some links and some videos on good ole Gatchaman.

American Intro:

vs.

Japanese (Gatchaman) Intro:

What I didn't know was that Zoltar, the villain of the BoTP , was split into two separate people; one male and one female. In the original Gatchaman the villain was a hermaphrodite who could switch sexes at will. Probably not something you want to put into a kids show.
