Tee hee
One day, three boys were walking over a bridge when they heard a guy yelling for help. It was President Bush. He was drowning, and the three boys rescued him. He thanked them dearly and promised them whatever they wanted as a reward.
The first boy wanted $10,000, so Bush gave him the money. The second boy wanted a Ferrari, so Bush gave the boy a Ferrari.
The third boy wanted a wheelchair, Bush said, “Why do you want one of those, son, you're not handicapped.” The boy replied, “I will be when my dad finds out whose life I saved.”

The BBC and sports on the web
The BBC sports web site does a masterful job of providing an over-by-over description of international cricket matches. They even manage to capture the uniquely dry wit of the British sports commentators. The web site also has live coverage of European football (soccer) matches. But I think they've gone a little too far with their live coverage... Now they're providing live coverage of World Snooker 2007! Snooker is a very clever and difficult game, far more so than pool. I even used to watch it every now and then televised on "Pot Black" back in Australia. But it makes for the most incredibly boring web coverage...
