Found a simply awesome web site via Jeremy Gilby’s site where you pick the soundtrack to a Star Wars movie scene. As you click through from Rammstein to Benny Hill you see how the entire meaning of the scene changes. As Jeremy says, make sure to click through all of them by hitting the little […]

A memorial Mass in memory of Christa McAuliffe and her father will feature a seven-minute video, “Flying for Me” with lyrics and music by John Denver. This month marks the 20th anniversary of the Challenger space shuttle disaster that took the lives of McAuliffe and six other astronauts.
The musical selection is odd given that […]

Alamo, California residents have been faced with a rash of “Gaywood Road” sign thefts–which cost approximately $600 per sign to replace.

“At first, we made a joke out of it, and everybody pitched in to buy a new sign,” said 10-year Alamo resident Linda Buschmeyer. “Then, it wasn’t so funny the second time on. It is […]

France said on Thursday it would be ready to use nuclear weapons against any state that carried out a terrorist attack against it, reaffirming the need for its nuclear deterrent.

This house at the foot of 20th Street in Manhattan Beach, CA will set you back only $5.25 million …
