Can the hive help me get a web site started? I have very specific ideas, but I'm a dinosaur when it comes to everything about the insides of websites.

My tiny studio apartment is driving me crazy. No matter what I do, the place looks cluttered. Are there resources out there for a guy like me?

I am trying to remember the title of a French movie I saw in early 1999, although it may date from earlier than that. I don't remember the content of the main part of the movie at all other than that it had to do with amazing coincidences (or AN amazing coincidence, something like that)...

"Joseph McCarthy must be smiling admirably in Hades"
-- British MP George Galloway, on Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) We've previously discussed Galloway
here, but I thought that pan had flashed and I'd never hear his name again. This is transAtlantic Politifilter for your Friday Morning. (via Minneapolis Star-Tribune, it may ask for reg.)

I purchased a Kerouac poster in college, recently sent it to a framing place and they spilled chemicals on it and ruined it.
It looks like this. I've been looking everywhere for a replacement. Does anyone know where I can find one?

My friends and I were talking about building a cabin up North, and then we started talking like it was a 'heist' or a 'job', if you get the picture. So we designated someone as the Wheel-man, and someone else as the Grease-man, and then I asked: what's a grease-man? No one actually knew. I tried Google to no avail.
Does anyone know what a Grease-man is? Are there any other *-man titles you can think up for a heist?

The Dickens Project.
Today is also the birthday of
Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870), English novelist, who in his
American Notes of 1842 made numerous scathing observations about speech patterns he had noted during his five-month visit to the United States that year. He wrote, for example, that once he had left the more cosmopolitan areas of
New York and
Boston, nasal drawls were the rule, the grammar was "more than doubtful," and the "
oddest vulgarisms" were "received idioms." he was so caustic that the normally mild and diplomatic
Ralph Waldo Emerson was moved to defend his countrymen from Dickens's characterizations:
"No such conversations ever occur in this country, in real life, as he relates. He has picked up and noted with eagerness each odd local phase that he met with, and when he had a story to relate, has joined them together, so that the result is the broadest caricature."
YEAH Ralph! Back in the day, that was what we would now call a "
Verbal Beatdown" (Nas lyrics, probably NSFW)

Today is Charles Augustus Lindbergh's (1902 - 1974) birthday.
A pioneering American aviator, who was dubbed the
Lone Eagle. In May 1927 he became the first person to fly nonstop and solo from
New York to
Paris, making the trip in 33½ hours in his specially built monoplane, the
Spirit of St. Louis. During the flight he battled
extreme drowsiness, a malfunctioning
compass, and
wing icing. He was well aware that six others had died trying to accomplish this feat. After receiving a tumultuous hero's welcome in Paris, Lindbergh visited several countries on his way home, the last being
England. He stopped at
Buckingham Palace at the invitation of
George V. As they conversed, the king posed numerous questions about the long flight, including one he felt could be asked only in private: "Sir, how did you pee?"

Got a Secret?
(Discussed briefly previously
here)
The idea behind Frank Warren Artomatic exhibit was simple: distribute 3,000 post cards asking the public to share a secret with him anonymously by reply mail, and sit back and wait for the replies. Some of the post cards are
now on display at the Anne C. Fisher gallery, but if you can't make it to the Georgetown show don't worry, Warren has created a
"Postsecret" blog where you can see some of the most interesting replies. (via
DCist)
