  People suck
In a depressing update to the dolphin story I posted last week, two dolphins from the pod that protected the group of swimmers have been killed by poachers. "This is how we repay these beautiful creatures for their help," said one lifeguard. I couldn't have said it better myself.





 
  Dump Internet Explorer for Firefox
If you are still using Internet Explorer, which according to my site statistics, 98.54% of you are, stop right now. Seriously. Click on getfirefox.com, download Firefox 1.0, and don't look back. Firefox has a built-in pop-up blocker, tabbed browsing, live bookmarks (via RSS or Atom), themes, extensions, a password and download manager, and quick seaches using keywords, right from the address line. I could go on, but don't just read about it, try it. You won't be sorry, and your computer will thank you for keeping it spyware-free.
 
  Scotsman's Kilt Reveals All (And the Queen doesn't seem to notice)
According to Snopes.com, the status of this story is still "undetermined." It appears, however, that a Colonel of the 1st Battalion of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders has answered the age-old question of what one finds under a Scotsman's kilt. (Check out the look on his face, and the look on the Queen's face. There's a Visa Card "priceless" ad to be found here. I'm sure of it.)

  Dolphins to the rescue!
Yet another reason to love dolphins: A pod of dolphins in New Zealand apparently protected a group of swimmers from a great white shark, by herding them together, and swimming around them in tight circles until the shark gave up and went away. (As they left, the dolphins were overheard saying "So long, and thanks for all the fish. " Or something like that.)



On a related note, if the Hitchhiker's Guide movie isn't good, well, I don't know what I'll do, but I won't be happy.
