Batman makes an arrest.
The Turks like Batman so much they named a city after him.

So, after spending Saturday afternoon watching WWII movies, it became time to make dinner. I decided to search for Hitler's favourite recipes. All I found was a drink called a Dead Hitler, which I've got my doubts that even Hitler would have liked...
A 'Dead Hitler': Fill a shot glass equally in parts with Rumple Minze, Jagermeister, and Goldschlager.
There do seem to be a number of people dedicated to disputing the idea that Hitler could have been a vegetarian, though. Apparently liking veggies makes you morally superior, so Hitler had to have liked meat. I'll have to remember to cite my dietary preferences the next time I'm taken to task for some deed of villainy.

Overheard at work: "What's the point of leavin' when I ain't got no pants on?" I try to shut out most of the prattle, but sometimes I'm sorry that I wasn't paying attention.

I noticed a continuity error in "A Bridge too Far" this weekend. When the C-47s are dropping supplies to the 1st Airborne, the last one in line goes over with a burning engine and vanishes behind a tree, after which a huge fireball rises to indicate that he's crashed. It's a classic special effect. What I never noticed before is that you can see the climbing plane's wing to the left of the fireball.

The dufus who shot the rocket out of his ass (and got a 'scorched colon' in the process) has finally scrolled off the BBC's "Top Five" stories list, after nearly a week. The poor guy's in the Army too - he's never going to hear the end of that.

Someone is asking $300 for one of the laser-etched Little Ponies. Good Lord.
If anyone interested in having one at a reasonable price, look here. They're lovely Ponies - I've got #37 from the run.

It's being reported that Ken Blackwell's loss may well have been the biggest wipeout ever in the Ohio governor's race. Apparently the vote totals are missing for some of the early races. Hopefully he'll retire from politics, and find some career suited to his modest talents.
I'm reliably informed that at the Ohio Democrats' victory party that night, the only Republican candidate mocked was Rick Santorum, who's not even from Ohio. They apparently put his concession speech on the big screen and heckled him quite obscenely. >:)

San Franciso's decided not to bid for the 2016 Olympics, which is a shame. I'm hoping Chicago will get it now.
