Spencer Tunick
Spencer Tunick is like the Steve Fossett of the art world, except that he won't eventually go away. I don't know about you, but I'm really sick of hearing about him. Go »Naturally Delicious
What do you think of food brands like Nestlé, Frit Go »Practical Jokes Suck
They especially suck in a workplace that is already demeaning. Thanks to D R for sending me this article. Go »No Harry Potter for Us Today
I was really looking forward to going to see a matinee of "Harry Potter" today with Kelly. Why did I have to balance my checkbook an hour before going? Go »Dignitary Dinner
What world leader, current or historical, would you have dinner with if you could, and why that person? Assume that there's a translator present. Go »

Okay, I know I post about spam too often. I have this love-hate relationship with it: Even though I hate getting it more than I can express in words, I continually find myself either amused by the content of it or impressed by the techniques that it uses. Case in point, I got two interesting pieces of spam today. One was programmed so that the delete button wouldn't work. I loaded the message in Outlook Express, and tried to press DEL to get rid of it, and a box informed me that such key wasn't valid. I had to drag it to Deleted Items. The other was a trio of xxx messages that took over my screen, 100%, to show me their message, which was very xxx-rated. I'm glad I didn't open that one at an office.
