Most Popular Want Ad
This one came in from Ms. Moneypenny:
The following ad in The Atlanta Journal is reported to have been one of their most popular (in # calls received):
SINGLE BLACK FEMALE seeks male companionship, ethnicity unimportant. I’m a very good looking girl who LOVES to play. I love long walks in the woods, riding in you pickup truck, hunting, camping and fishing trips, cozy winter nights lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand. Rub me the right way and watch me respond. I’ll be at the front door when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me. Kiss me and I’m yours. Call (404) 875-6420 and ask for Daisy.
Over 15,000 men found themselves talking to the Atlanta Humane Society about an 8-week old black Labrador retriever.
Men are so easy. :-)

The Top Events in Planetary Exploration
|link| Arrr… here be the top events that will eventually lead to pirates in space.
A quarter century of planetary exploration has pushed the limits of what could even be imagined: comets colliding with planets, rovers driving across martian soil, and footpads resting on venusian crust so hot it could melt lead. Astrobiology Magazine relives the year-by-year timeline, and anticipates the feats yet to come.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of Romulan Ale.

TK-1: the Glow Fish
|link| The BBC offers up this story about a Taiwanese company getting ready to market genetically modified, glowing fish. Personally, I think the photo is a little disturbing… sort of like a scifi movie prop.

Napster is Back…?
Though not on their main page, we have it from the ether(net) that Napster is almost ready to make a big come back. What form that comeback might have is a bit of a mystery, but another website they own might shed some light.
