Julie said it, and I agree with her, George Lucas can do what he wants. But like this Penny Arcade comic, I have to wonder if George has lost his mind.

Dr Bunsen Honeydew and his trusty assistant, Beaker have topped a BBC poll as favorite screen scientists.

The 25 Best Futurama Moments Ever is a great list. And Futurama is on my Amazon wish list, along with Family Guy.

A friend of mine from high school, Tony, is currently living it up in Spain. And to show everyone how much fun he is having, he has put up a photo gallery. And if there are any University High Class of 1996 folks out there, be sure to check out thre alumni database and message board.

Here is another post of interesting but mostly unrelated things. First off is Serenity, the web site of the big screen sequel to Firefly, Joss Whedon’s cancelled sci-fi/western series. I own Firefly – The Complete Series, on DVD and am really looking forward to the movie.

Next is an urban legend about the Twelve Days of Christmas from Urban Legends Reference Pages. Another urban legends site is UrbanLegends.com.

If you’re annoyed at sites that ask for registration, try BugMeNot.com. Or use dodgeit to create “fake” email addresses.

You can find out how popular your name is at Name Statistics.

And finally, Iraqi Cat Reunited With G.I. War Buddies. Maybe now they can find weapons of mass destruction.

This article from the BBC says that satellite imagery has revealed the location of Atlantis. Nope, Atlantis is located in the Pegasus galaxy and can only be reached via a one way stargate trip.

But just in case Atlantis really is on this planet and near water, you can sneak up on it in a stealth ship.

I haven’t blogged at all this month, I’ve been pretty busy. But a friend sent this link to me and I thought it was pretty funny. It kinda boils Bush vs. Kerry down to its essence.

Update July 20: The original site is down, view “This Land” at AtomFilms.

Here are lots of mostly unrelated things I have found recently that I thought were interesting. A site explaining the history of Moof the Dogcow, a little image used by some programs to show page orientation for printers. This is a site about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide, (H20). Next, a group of actual monks that sell ink, toner, and other printer, fax, and copier supplies.

Next we have an online map and guide to the Simpsons’ hometown, Springfield. And then just what everyone needs, a online guide and recipe list for ramen noddles. And finally just in case you needed reasons not to vote for George W. Bush, Bush in 30 Seconds.

As a side note, I’ve stopped making links in my posts show in new browser windows, it was just getting annoying. Just use the back button if you really really want to get back here. Of course I may change my mind later.

While looking for this quote from the Rachel Weisz character in The Mummy (1999):

“I may not be an explorer, or an adventurer, or a treasure-seeker, or a gunfighter, Mr. O’Connell, but I am proud of what I am…I, am a librarian!”

I found a quotes page compiled by University at Buffalo, State University of New York, School of Informatics professor Dr. John W. Ellison.
