On the CBS viewing demographic

Many households counted in the ratings for the CBS morning program are actually people who died in the middle of the night with their tv's on.

That's fucking funny. Nicely done, Mr. Schieffer.

Koren Shadmi is an amazing illustrator who has a couple of surreal pdf comics on his site that everyone should check out. There are three stories:

Grandpa Minolta in which a young girl recalls memories of her strange grandfather who sat in the same spot everday and also had a camera for a head.

Peeping Tom is narrated by a young man who records his observations of women that he can only partially see from other apartment buildings through his windows.

Headonism is about a giant head who is a real asshole to his young servant girl.

Check out the comics and be sure to browse through Shadmi's other work while you're there.

Reading a little closer between the lines, however, and you see that this unique combination of genes came about because the Mother and Father are “closely related”.

Umm.... OK.

Spare a moment's thought this morning for 13 year old Will Reeve, pictured above. After watching his dad Christopher battle a long and very public disability before his death in 2004, he has now lost his mother too. Dana Reeve, a non-smoker died yesterday, aged just 44, from lung cancer.

Man, sometimes life just kicks you in the gut.
