"Back before Tom Hanks was handed trophies for talking to volleyballs..."

Wow, what idiot actually wrote this? Hanks didn't win for Castaway. Mea Culpa.

Don't confuse Dubai with its physical image; The workers Tim speaks of have a story that isn't fully told, but scary enough.

The Dark Side of Dubai.

"The Sagan Unit" is by far the geekiest, most wonderful thing I've heard today, but whatever he was smoking, methinks it was more than cannabis.
