That Golden Girl

Emmy Award-winning actress Estelle Getty has died. This would be a great place to collect priceless Estelle moments, like old interviews, cultural cul-de-sacs, and Golden Girls moments. I'm partial to this parody of the movie Clueless.

The Best DOMAIN NAMES of the Web

What'll you find at rum.com, van.com, war.com or cat.com? A more-fun-than-most web quiz from the Mental Flossers about some of the best domain names and who owns them. Okay, not as much fun as penisland.net and the like, but I found it interesting, but then I am an admitted domain name addict. Hey, I even kinda like the What's Your Name.com blog, via Projects.

Hands across the water.

What do you do when you're a Panamanian golden frog and you need to let that certain special someone across the way know you're, um, interested? Sure, you could croak a few sweet nothings in her ear, but those rushing jungle streams can drown out even the most virile of frog voices. So, you... wave! Yeah, give her a little wave! A BBC film crew has captured footage of this rare (and, according to their article, now extinct) amphibian waving, fighting and mating. [NOTE: last link includes hot froggy ménage à trois. Surely NSFW!] Here's a National Geographic documentary on earlier efforts to treat the Chytrid fungus-induced disease that has decimated the golden frog population.

A Beautiful Mind sweeps the Golden Globes. There you have it folks. As an unabashed LOTR fan, I was mildly disappointed, but not at all surprised that the outsider Peter Jackson did not get his due.

From the U.S. Mint, one year later: "Demand for the Golden Dollar continues to grow. Currently, the U. S. Mint has shipped over 1 billion Golden Dollars through all of its distribution channels." My question: where are these things? Are any of you in the U.S. actually seeing these in circulation?
