He started with a red paperclip and he's traded up to a recording contract. He's currently taking offers on it. I've checked out some of the offers. There's pretty steep competition. Except from that chick who offered to trade the contract for a donation to the World Wildlife Fund. I bet she makes all the good deals. By min | March 28, 2006, 9:49 AM | Ummm... Other? | Comments (1)| Link If you had He-Man figures as a kid, you may remember that the original line of toys came with little books, where He-Man was a Conan-type barbarian. The later toys, beginning with Ram-Man and Man-E-Faces, started coming with comic books instead of little books, and in those the story was much more like how the cartoon (which I hated) ended up. The original books were relatively dark and mysterious compared to the comics. I was looking to see if anyone had put the original books online and i found this interview with the author, Don Glut. It's a pretty funny interview. The geeky interviewer just keeps asking all these involved questions about the back story, and the guy just keeps going, "Look, it was 4 tiny books i wrote for peanuts over 20 years ago. I didn't put a lot of thought into it." (Don Glut was also a comics writer; i know him especially as a collaborator with Roy Thomas on Invaders and Captain America.)

& Ummm... Other? | Link I think you want one, too. By min | March 2, 2006, 11:01 AM | Ummm... Other? | Link I read this, and it amused me. I would say that men and women are prolly tied in the "Who's Stupider" contest. I think i know why, too. It's come to my attention that the people who shouldn't be reproducing are usually the ones most successful at it. Go figure. The most distressing bit of information in this article illustrating stupidity is this: (emphasis mine) By min | March 2, 2006, 9:37 AM | Ummm... Other? | Link « Ummm...
