CNN: How is a LEGO artist different from a LEGO hobbyist?

SAWAYA: I get paid! In all seriousness, I've tried to take LEGO in a direction it's never been before. I've tried to put it in a museum setting, and I've created very large-scale sculptures that are on tour for the next couple of years. And that's something that I think is a little different from your average hobbyist who's really just building for fun

  

Poppy Sol didn't raise no fools. Kudos to the marketing geniuses behind this one. Operation: Salami Drop it's not, but apparently there is more to this symbolic gesture than meets the eye...

Why nuts? In the final episode Jake Green (Skeet Ulrich) borrowed the historic phrase "NUTS" in response to a final offer of surrender from a hostile neighboring town. CBS decided to cancel the show, and fans are uprising to save Jericho by sending, you got it, NUTS to CBS executives.

  

Saw this and couldn't help but think of Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer. RIP Phil Hartman. Link via Daily telegraph...

A local council reversed a decision to evict Jhyimy "Two Hats" Mhiyles after more than 400 residents and tourists signed a "Save the Caveman" petition.

  

Whoa. This ones for real. Not only does Lina give birth at the age of five years, seven months and 21 days, but she does so on Mother's Day (via cesarean I'll give you, but pretty insane nonetheless)!

1939: Lina Medina becomes the youngest confirmed mother in recorded medical history, delivering a son at the age of 5.

The Peruvian child delivered a 5-pound, 8-ounce boy via cesarean section; her small pelvis made it impossible for the baby to pass through the birth canal. In a detailed report of the case, Dr. Edmundo Escomel described the girl’s early sexual maturity. Lina had her first menstrual cycle when she was only eight months old; her breasts were almost completely developed by the time she was 4.

Lina’s condition, known as precocious puberty, was an extreme case, so much so that the story was dismissed as a hoax by many. But doctors X-rayed the fetus’ skeleton in utero and provided a picture of Lina, taken late in her pregnancy. The photograph, shot in profile, proves not only the pregnancy but shows the extent of her sexual development.

  

New Port Richey Police officer spotted Wiley in a suspicious vehicle - a blue Ford Explorer - at a convenience store off U.S. 19, according to Capt. Darryl Garman. When the officer went to investigate, the Explorer took off.

The chase, eventually joined by a second officer, led down the highway to Sunset Road and Veterans Drive, back to 19, back to Sunset, and finally over the bridge into Port Richey.

But the Explorer was spotted a minute later on Grand Boulevard, Garman said. From there it went to River Gulf Road, then south on Washington Street to Massachusetts Avenue. About 1 p.m., the officers broke off the chase because it could have put others in danger, Garman said. The Explorer was last seen heading south on Grand.

Most Ford Explorers have automatic transmissions, though several people say Wiley is perfectly competent with a stick shift.

"He is one of the best drivers I've ever seen in my life, " said Lee Michie, a longtime acquaintance. "But he's the worst person I've ever met."

  

John Brandick has a new lease on life, but who's going to front the security deposit? Seriously, if I had a nickel for every television show that centered around this very plotline, I'd give it to the poor bastard. Link via The People...

DAD John Brandrick quit his job, sold everything and blew the lot after doctors told him he had just six months to live.

But now John, 62, faces financial ruin - because the medics have admitted: "You're not dying after all."

It turned out that the initial diagnosis of terminal cancer was WRONG.

John even stopped paying his mortgage to free up cash and live every minute to the full with his partner Sally Laskey. The bombshell news that he will live forces him to sell his sole remaining possession - his house.

  

He drafts 18-wheelers with the engine off and takes "death turns" at 52 miles an hour. Maybe I'm missing the point, but the king of the hypermilers seems more like an accident waiting to happen than a hero in the post 9/11 era.

"I'm not just doing this for myself," Wayne told me before we met. "I'm doing this for my country and the world."

  

Is it beatiful? No. Will it help prevent the spread of AIDS? Probably not. Is it cooler than Saturday's lunar eclipse? Absolutely (or, at least from our perspective).Link & blockquote via Pronto Condoms...

I look over from the couch at the new 19-inch analog TFT-LCD flat-screen monitor delivering an 800-to-1 contrast ratio, 260 cd/m2 brightness, 1280 x 1024 resolution, 170/170-degree viewing angle, and a scanning frequency of 30–81 kHz horizontal and 56–75 Hz vertical, or so I'm told.

What I see are the green hills, blue sky, and stratocumulus and cirrus clouds of the Napa County bitmap landscape called Bliss, the Microsoft Windows XP default desktop wallpaper. It looks like an invitation to suicide on a Sunday afternoon.

"Can you change that thing?"
