• Bill O'Reilly calls for the bombing of San Francisco
  
• woman robs 4 banks while talking on cellphone
  
• new species of lemur named after John Cleese
  
• Jack White claims he's changing his name to "Three Quid" in honor of 50 Cent

addendum: Bobby Henderson, of Flying Spaghetti Monster fame, scored an $80k advance for The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. nice going, Bobby, but make sure you get a real job before the buzz dies down, because this is not going to be the beginning of a great media empire.

Oh, and re Shatner's prequel...I like how he referred to "adolescent Kirk/Spock". Slash readers must be salivating.

Yeah, Harve Bennett was pitching a "Starfleet Academy" story way back before ST:TNG premiered. The sad thing is, tey will probably do it, someday - I mean, they have fucked up Star Trek in every other possible why, why not complete the set?
