A fun link, The Top Twenty Cryptozoology Stories of 2002. Cryptozoology is "literally translated as 'the study of hidden life'" or the study of the evidence for hidden animals with input of local, native, explorer, and traveler traditions, sightings, tales, legends and folklore of the as-yet unverified animals. It's got stories like the Mothman in West Virginia, the Loch Ness Monster and of course Big Foot.
Okay, I'm dying to watch Joe Millionaire tonight, but the guy is totally f-ugly. YIKES! SCARY! He looks like the kind of guy that you see on the cover of romance books, and lots of women love that look. I'm like, I don't know if $50 million would be enough for me to even want to date him; he is so not attractive to me. I just want to see the ending when the lucky woman finds out that it was all one big dang sham.
Check out this interesting website, Noindoctrination.org - A Non Profit Organization Promoting Open Inquiry in Academia. I heard the woman who started this website interviewed on Pete Wilson's radio show on KGO.
I'm glad I went to a small private college, because most of the university controversies seems to go on at public schools. My college didn't even have a "D" grade for most of the time while I was there, which meant if you received a grade below a C in a class, the class was dropped off your transcript. How cool was that. There was also, as I remember, a balance of liberal and conservative professors and we were taught to think for ourselves. If there was indoctrination, I wasn't aware of it. In my high school though, there was major indoctrination in the political liberal viewpoint. But I grew up to be somewhat a political conservative. so maybe indoctrination doesn't really work in the long run but is just the issue du jour.

Talk about a weird ending to one damned good football game yesterday, the 49ers unbelievable and miraculous comeback in the 49er/NY Giants playoff game. The NFL is saying that the 49ers should have been called for pass interference; NFL: Officials missed pass interference call in Giants-49ers. I'm with Mariucci when he said "Bummer".
But you know what' s going to happen. The NY Giants and their fans will jaw this issue for years on end. Well, the Oakland Raiders got robbed last year. Maybe it's an NFL playoff tradition; questionable officiating.
