Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- ‘What’s My Line?’ featuring Salvador Dali – Both “What’s My Line?” and “To Tell the Truth” were great game shows. I’m not sure why they wouldn’t work today.
- Forbidden Planet Film Trailer 1956 – Love that movie …
- The controversial decision to finish Michelangelo work – It’s a fascinating question of what heritage trumps what heritage, and what it means to be “historical” and a “preservationist.” And, yes, you see a lot of this sort of thing all over Italy.
- mental_floss Blog » It’s a Steal! How Columbia House Made Money Giving Away Music – Short answer: They cheated, and in a way that, if you were a consumer doing the same thing, you’d owe the RIAA a million-zillion dollar and be facing hard time.
- Critical Miss: Issue 10 (The Campaign For Real Monopoly) – Most Monopoly games I’ve played in the past, people buy whatever the hell they can land on, for the most part … but, yeah, this real-not-house rule would certainly punch things up at least a little bit.
- What Would the Supreme Court Do? – I’ve never had the sense that Obama was afraid that SCOTUS would rule against him here — more that (a) he preferred not to pursue that course, esp. since (b) it would provide some a-bit-less-laughable basis for the fringe to initiate impeachment proceedings.
- Founding Father John Adams’ Advice to Rick Perry: Don’t Meddle in Religion | Politics | Religion Dispatches – Well, what kind of advice would one expect out of a radical from Massachusetts?
- Abandoned East Berlin Theme Park – Dinosaur Tipping! (Seems particularly apropos for the East Germans.)
