I find it amusing that there's a production of Arcadia in…Sierra Madre. So close!

I’ve always wondered how the name of Japan’s currency ended up meaning “craving” in English. It turns out to be a coincidence, with the word most likely taken from Chinese yáhn or yin.

Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys…with Vampires and Zombies.
Um…what? (The actual stories seem to be dealing with real-world stuff like the Twilight *ahem* DieLite craze and zombie crawls, but still…)

Can we finally bury the SCO case now, or will it once again rise from the grave as a shambling undead corpse?

Sightings line up perfectly with the Falcon 9 launch.
Oh, those Falcon UFOs
Yesterday, a lot of Australians reported seeing a bizarre UFO. Just before 6:00 a.m. local time, numerous reports came in about a spiral of light in the sky with a bright central spot. The light was actually spinning around, like a pinwheel!

Argh! I totally understand his decision (a 3 year commitment on the other side of the planet)…
Guillermo Del Toro departs “The Hobbit”
Guillermo Del Toro announced today that he is no longer directing the two movies based on J.R.R Tolkien’s “The Hobbit”…

[ABC Cancels Romantically Challenged, Scrubs, Ted, Flashforward]
I can't say I didn't see it coming. FlashForward has been a study in missed opportunities from episode two onward, and Better Off Ted had “Too Good to Last” stamped on every frame. OTOH, at least we know ABC will *show* the last two episodes of FF. I'm not so confident about Ted.
