Yahoo! News – Police Search Michael Jackson’s Ranch

I wonder what they’re looking for?

This reminds me of a few terrible jokes:

Q: How do you know when it’s bedtime at Michael Jackson’s house?

A: The big hand is touching the little hand.

and…

Q: What’s the diffrence between Michael Jackson and a plastic bag?

A: The one is made of plastic and is dangerous to children, the other is for carrying groceries.

And the nastiest…

Q: What do Michael Jackson and Wal-Mart have in common?

A: They both have boys underwear half-off!

Thank God I don’t eat sugar like I did. I know I would try this crap and, most likely, barf.

Here are The Greatest Album Covers That Never Were. Artists chose their favourite musicians and did album covers for them. Some of them are quite interesting.

Chretien to retire early

Ding dong the dork will be gone on December 12, 2003. Only to be replaced by another fatcat who refuses to make any changes.

Strangely enough it was Pauly, the most rabid Leafs fan ever, who sent this. He claims it was to head others off at the pass but my guess is it has more to to with Pauly’s wanting to pick up a uniform just like Peter Pan’s.

Every religion has it’s cults. I know peole who have been involved in the Worldwide Church of God (for one), mentioned in that previous link. It was pretty crazy. I’m not sure how anyone can live by all those whacky rules.

Some take things way too far. Like Jonestown.

I can’t believe that this happened almost 25 years ago. I was only 9 when Rev Jim Jones had his followers drink his poisoned koolaid, but remember the Jonestown tragedy like it was yesterday. The photos in Time Magazine and the video from the site on the news has been burned into my brain ever since. So tragic. Especially the children. More than 900 people. Talk about collective insanity.

Killer cults seem to be a recurring theme in western society. Every few years there are people willing to give up the ghost at the behest of some crazy guru for the promise of a better life on ‘the other side’. It must be our empty, materialistic values driving people to look for ‘deeper meaning’. Too bad some of us find it with whackos.

CBC News: Muhammad guilty in sniper murder case

This phase of the Washington sniper’s trial is over with him found guilty of capital murder. Next on the agenda is sentencing.

What’s on the menu? Not that I agree with the death penalty, but my guess is fried sniper.

That’s it. Carol has completely lost her mind. She wants to spend 250 bucks on a Roomba Robotic Floorvac. And yes, she’s serious.

I dunno. I’m not sure I believe the hype. How will it work in our place? How do you program it? Will it really clean up while we’re away or will it sit on the couch eating bon bons and watching soap operas?

According to Time Magazine this just may be the beginning of the end. I’m inclined to agree.
