If I had my druthers, I'd swap the places of Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamzov, for one.

And while Twilight is on here, at least it's small- the same size as Foundation. Even if I don't see as many people on "Team Hari Seldon" as "Team Edward" or "Team Jacob."

While the cartoons are funny, I must point out wristwatches still come in handy for running. Much less bulky and easier to check than a Flavor-Flav style clock or whatever he thinks has replaced them.

Anyone else think of "For a Few Dollars More"? There's a bit where Clint Eastwood rides into to town and a gang steps out to confront him, one of them halfway through getting his beard shaved.

Not being very Linux-saavy myself, I probably would have made the final clue something like, "This is the most recent piece of music (or book, or film) to move me to tears," and accept any reasonable answer from Ken Jennings and Brad Rutler. If I wanted to be unfair, that is.

Well, it would depend on if they all read the same lines, or if it came with a bit of their personality as well.

Tom Waits could be fun, but he'd go off on some rambling anecdotes that I'm never sure if I should believe, and forget to tell me where to turn for the restaurant. But he says it's OK, he's got it, and then directs me to some seedy gin joint in the bad part of town, and says it's better anyway. Brian Blessed never uses his indoor voice, and always complains that we never go on adventures. In the end, I'd opt for Patrick Stewart for a touch of class and sophistication. And the occasional "Make it so!"

I suspect something like this has been in place for some time in the States- why else does the Chinese take-out place in Atlanta taste pretty much the same as the one in Syracuse, or wherever? Perhaps they're all just getting their food in little pneumatic tubes from one central facility.

You say "birthday cake," but given that the main character is The Bride, wouldn't it make an even better wedding cake?

They still use this on the Simpsons sometimes (Mr. Plow episode is the one I remember, but I think there were other times) Of course every number begins with KLondike 5, which would be television's typical 555 prefix.

I don't see this ever catching on with Dr. Tobias Fünke. Maybe if the psychotherapist just wore cutoffs?

I remember renting Starship Troopers and losing interest in it. But I left it on, because the cat was enthralled, and I've never seen him stay interested in anything beyond a few minutes. I told myself if I saw the DVD in the bargain bin, I should pick it up, so I can leave it playing for him when I head off for work.

Is that how hoaxes work now?

It's Jurassic Park all over again! Next thing you know the bird will be breaking free and attacking Jeff Goldblum!

WOW! That was the second best set of singing acrobatic contortionist triplets I've seen today!

He's got all the months, but I don't see the eight days of the week.
