The newspaper I work for is running an article tonight about dowsing. It's an AP (Associated Press) article that they're obviously using for filler. The article reads like it's saying that dowsing isn't junk science, which is grating on my nerves. The article is titled "Ancient practice in...

Dogbert the news anchor That was beautiful. Scott Adams must never die. I want someone to get working on technology to keep Scott's brain alive and connected to a computer so he can write Dilbert comics forever. Of course we would have to remove his brain and connect it to said machine...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4728191.stm Dull article, but some of the comments people have left on the page are truly moronic. Apparently, "They aren't taking into account quantum sciences that acknowledge things such as Qi (Chi) energies that exist in every one of us". Gee, who knew...

When TAM4 begins, the Stardust will no longer be the home of Wayne Newton. Story here. I'm wondering whether the new Stardust headliner will be George Carlin. He announced on the Tonight Show late last year that he had been fired from one hotel but he was moving to the Stardust.
