I wish they'd move Adventurer's Club to the Boarwalk area (where the ESPNZone is).
Boarding a train that never stops

2 problems with this.
1) what if I was on the fast train but wanted to get off at that station?

"spread its sticky polymer tentacles as far as the planet Mongo by 1936. "
Buck Rogers takes place 500 years in the future, it was not present day---- and it mentions Union Carbide's address as NYC, there is no mention that Union Carbide is on Mongo, only that the Buck and Ronol wished they had some UC products while on Mongo.
Pranksters (?) hood a Google Street View cam with a plastic bag
May 8, 2008 8:54am
I saw what I thought was a google van in Chicago over a year ago... (regular looking SUV with a small tripod on the roof, with about 6 cameras sticking out of it)
I keep telling myself to get a sign with "robots.txt" instructions on it and keep it with me.

The Bewitched movie would have been soooo much better if they had just switched Darrins in the middle of the movie without commenting on it.
ie... Will Ferrill goes into the bathroom, but Owen Wilson comes out and the movie just continues. Long way to go for a joke, but would have been better than what they wrote.

"If he could write above junior high school level, wouldn't he have a better range of job options? Wouldn't cop be kind of low on his list then?"
