Newman, hungry.

Just a great, simple picture from the Times that reminded me of my Newman fandom.

Sad.

RIP George Carlin

I was actually wondering recently what kind of celebrity would have to die for it to really get me. Well here it is.

George Carlin, Splenetic Comedian, Dies at 71

I've never laughed harder than when I watched George Carlin as a teenager. And I wonder if he would be annoyed or bemused that the word 'splenetic' was used in his obituary headline.

Fun Fact #2

Hey, you know those Carbon Monoxide Detectors they tell you to install? Well, here's a fun fact:

If one goes off, don't just go back to sleep, call the fire department.

You'll probably find out that the boiler next to your bedroom, (the one that heats four apartment buildings), was smoking, and the fire department will come over to chainsaw down the door to the boiler room, and turn off the boiler, and tell you that the boiler has been leaking dangerous levels of carbon monoxide into your apartment and probably into all the apartments it heats!

Side Fact #1: It will be very, very hard to go back to sleep after this.

Side Fact #2: This will explain why you've been feeling sick to your stomach and getting massive headaches for the past few weeks!
