Important information for the coming cold season...

Step 1.
Use paper facial tissues instead of cloth handkerchiefs. Germs thrive in dark, moist environments.

Step 2
Avoid blowing your nose too hard. Too much pressure will force infectious drainage into your ears and sinuses.

Step 3
Press one finger over one nostril.

Step 4
Blow gently through the open nostril.

Step 5
Repeat on the opposite side.

Step 6
Use tissues once, then throw them away.

Step 7
Wash your hands. Germs will be on your fingers after you've handled your nose and your tissue. Don't spread the germs to other people or back to yourself.

Or there's always the snake option...

At the Secret Policeman's Ball 2008 the other night, funny man Tim Minchin debuted a song called "Ginger."

Seems "Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger"

Do you know why? I'd love to know.

Time out readers.

Lets take five and exhale slowly.

To bridge the divide that's come upon this site today, we need to a uniter not a divider. A seriously soothing voice of change.

I'm talking 'bout the Queen of Hearts.

She'll call you Angel in the morning.
She won't be blinded by the light because loves been a little bit hard on her too.
She's Juice Newton,
and the sweetest thing she's ever known is loving you.

"W." *** (out of four): Oliver Stone delivers a surprisingly entertaining, almost sympathetic look at our much-maligned 43rd President.

Has Oliver Stone softened in his old age? One would think, based on previous works like "Platoon", "JFK" and "Nixon", that his portrait of the man who led us into the Iraq war would be yet another burning in effigy. Instead, Stone offers a surprisingly entertaining, almost sympathetic look at our much-maligned 43rd President.

Adding a little cartoon fun to Big Mac's classic reaction to Obama's "Zero" comment from last night's debate.

Last year Nebraska State Senator Ernie Chambers filed a lawsuit against God.

He was seeking a permanent injunction because the G-man made terrorist threats against Ernie and his constituents in Omaha. Chambers sought a permanent injunction to prevent the "death, destruction and terrorization" caused by God.

Now a judge has thrown out the case...on a technicality.

God wasn't properly served due to his unlisted home address.

You can't find God, you can't serve him papers.

Ernie does believe he has grounds for appeal since the court acknowledged the existence of God. "God knows everything so he has notice of this lawsuit," reasoned Ernie.

Strangely, God has not responded to this lawsuit through any of his representatives in the Vatican, 700 Club or the Protestant, Baptist, Lutheran Churches or numerious organizations that preach his word.

I completely missed the debate last night. Surfing after midnight, I found out pretty much all I needed to know about it online, and things I really didn't need to know but found interesting, like this picture.

"Max Payne" *1/2 (out of four): Director John Moore delivers the goods, but it's not enough to overcome an extremely weak script.

There is a great deal of difference between what makes a video game successful and what makes a movie successful. Those who remember both playing and sitting through "Super Mario Brothers" (the first such adaptation) learned this lesson quickly. Hollywood has yet to catch on.
