I Haven't Had Much Time to Blog This Week...

...but I did have to say one thing:

(If you had to click the link to know what I was talking about, yer a scurvy dog.)

An eye-popping record: Seriously--that's what this guy is trying to break. If nothing else, it'd make a great Halloween mask.

Sign this one up for the Packers (or meat packers, at least): A 150-pound pig that wandered onto a Green Bay highway eluded authorities for several hours, even after being Tasered by the police.

Word of the day: The etymology of "meh." (Note the Kurdish and Slovenian definitions, as well as the French translation. And a special bonus: now it's a T-shirt.)

He was living his art...or really bored: A German art student decided to become one with history for a moment when he dressed up like the famed Chinese Terra Cotta Warriors and hid among them for a short time before being discovered--and sent home--by police.

Czech this out: I'll probably move this item to the end of the Dave Holland review when it's done, but I had to post it now. As always, we took a quick kolache break at the famed Czech Stop in West, Texas on our way back, and we were quite amused by the sign posted on the door: "AS OF DECEMBER 1, 2006, WE WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT CHECKS." We had a big laugh out of the irony of the Czech Stop not accepting checks... (I'll post the picture as soon as I can get it off the phone.)

UPDATE: Here it is...
