What's up with the revenge killings of stingrays? Steve Irwin's death was tragic, but the man wrestled with life on the toothy, mean edge. I don't think it's the stingrays fault; it's commonly known that stingrays only get aggressive when they feel threatened and if Steve Irwin would have come over to my apartment, innocuously hid behind the papasan for awhile before lunging at me, I would have freaked out and knocked him out cold with one of my many heavy Literature books. Or maybe the stingray just saw the South Park episode where Irwin puts his thumb up animal's butts and, because it wasn't due for a prostate exam for a good twenty or so years, decided that it wasn't going to go down like that. I've been in the wild with manta rays and I've even touched one (they are velvety smooth on top - think watery silk), and I got nothing against them.
In times like this, it's helpful to turn to Yoda and ask, "What would Yoda do?" He'd probably steal my Twix and run off laughing into the swamp, but if that bastard thinks he can get away with that crap one more time then he's going to be awfully surprised when my droidekas (I made them out of roombas - they weren't that deadly until I added the lasers) make green slurry out of his ears. Yoda Soup, anyone?
Important bits:
- The US launch date and price for the Nintendo Wii are expected to be announced tomorrow at 8am ET in NYC. I am positively quivering with antici... pation!
--- Anticipated launch date is October 2nd (the day before my birthday!)
--- Anticipated price is $150 - $170
Cool gadgets:
- 3D Displays To Make Their Way To Portable Devices?
Interesting stuff:
- Ice Rocks: pre-packaged purity
- French Youth Take Up British-Style Binge Drinking
Really, so what? French teenagers are getting hammered more often instead of consistently getting a buzz on?

Seattle PI may have leaked the Wii annoucement.
Yeah, it's funny actually. The New York Times leaked it first, then the Seattle PI did, but, by then NYT had already retracted it... it was a hilarious 30 minutes on the net where the two sites were trading back and forth again and again, putting the story up and then taking it down. Becca and I were really wondering what the hell was going on there for a bit, but at least it gave us hope that it was going to be less than $200 and before the end of October.
