News Absolutely No One Cares About
Sinead O'Connor has announced that she is
retiring. Apparently she no longer wants to be "famous." No problem there, Sinead.
Sigourney Weaver is hinting that she will make another terrible
Alien movie. I guess Alien 3 and Resurrection didn't suck quite enough.
U..S. Mint Unveils New Nickel
I don't know what was wrong with the old nickel, but we have a
new design for some reason. What is this obsession the U.S. Mint seems to have with Lewis and Clark? First the
Sacagawea golden dollar which only served to prove that Amercans really don't like dollar coins, and now a Lewis and Clark nickel. I don't mean to mean minimize the importance of the
Lewis and Clark expedition , by any means, but don't we have any other people of historical interest we can honor? You can check out
The Birth of a Coin from
www.usmint.gov starring "Goldie the Mint Fish" if you would like to see a cartoon version of how coins are made. The fish is a little weird, but the animation is pretty cute.
Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines Trailer
Apple has posted the latest
trailer for T3. I just can't decide if at Terminator movie made without
James Cameron has a chance of being any good at all, despite the always cool
Arnold, and the addition of a female terminator. (Terminatrix?)
Monica Lewinsky to Host Reality Show
This is funny in so many ways. The show, "Mr. Personality," follows a stockbroker as she chooses among 20 masked men. The idea is that she chooses based on personality, not looks. " I've come to realize that I've already had my own reality show," Lewinsky told Newsweek. Lest you be worried that Monica has actually found some direction in her life, fear not. According to
Yahoo news, she's still designing purses and is considering law school or graduate school in psychology.
Barking at Police Dog Not Illegal
According to
Court TV it is, in fact,
legal to bark at a police dog. (Whew, that's a relief!)
In other, less comforting news,
Science News reports that
dinosaurs of the same species routinely ate each other.In truly disturbing news, it appears that
Microsoft has set it sights on acquiring
Google. Eek.
