UPDATE.
The guy who tried to trade up a paperclip for a house will soon take possession of a two-storey farmhouse in Kipling, Saskatchewan.
Big deal.
People will pay you to take houses in rural Saskatchewan off their hands.

TV – Futurama returning in 2008
The original cast members of Futurama have signed to make 13 new episodes.
It will air on Comedy Central in 2008.
I love the concept. And this time round I expect the quality to go up as it did when Family Guy was resurrected.
¡Ask a Mexican!
Jack Black is a Mexican professional wrestler in the so-so film Nacho Libre.
Better Mexican humour is a small town newspaper column ¡Ask a Mexican! penned by Gustavo Arellano.
Began as a one-time politically incorrect joke, it’s become a hit. Arellano even got a guest spot on The Colbert Report.
If you like Jeff Foxworthy (rednecks) and Dave Chappelle (African Americans) — you will like ¡Ask a Mexican!.
Inquiring Gringos Want to Know – review in the LA Times
Racism is slowly, slowly decreasing in the world. Sport and entertainment are the best ways to break down barriers.

Have you seen the video blog askaNinja?
Hilarious.
The genius comedians behind it does not want to sell out. Their worst nightmare is some idiot executive producer telling them to tweek the cartoon to fit better the Fox or Comedy Network ethos.
They look forward to killing you soon!
Robot soccer World Cup, Germany
Futurama is here!

Japan is the team to beat in the humanoid category. Defending champions Germany in the four-legged tournament.
The goal for all good robots is to challenge and best the human World Cup champions by 2050.

music – Weird Al Yankovic
What ever happened to Weird Al ??
He’s huge in the blogosphere right now after offering a new song as a free download.
I love My Life is Brilliant, by James Blunt. It’s a perfect song.
But ripe for a Weird Al parody.
how to survive a robot uprising
Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion.
Published Nov. 2005, this is an essential survival guidebook for your panic room.
As much as I want a robot dog, I could never trust it completely.
Information this important should be forced on people too dumb to read. Gladly the RENO 911! TV folks are responsible for the movie (which I assume will be an alarmist documentary) hosted by Mike Myers.

Thanks Ron & Kate for alerting me to this danger.
Karl Zinsmeister – Karl SpinMeister?
Bush’s new domestic policy adviser (What domestic policy? Empty the treasury?) is aptly named.
Zin’s getting good reviews so far — except one slight smudge.
Thanks to sharp reporting by Josh Gerstein of the New York Sun, Zinsmeister’s appointment was marred by the discovery that he had doctored quotes in a newspaper profile about him that was posted on the AEI Web site. In an August 2004 article in the Syracuse New Times, Zinsmeister had said, “People in Washington are morally repugnant, cheating, shifty human beings.” On the AEI site, he changed his quote to read, “I learned in Washington that there is an ‘overclass’ in this country stocked with cheating, shifty human beings that’s just as morally repugnant as our underclass.”
It really is tough being squeaky clean enough to be a politician these days.
want to patrol the Mexican border?
“Texas plans to enlist web users worldwide in its fight against illegal immigration by offering live surveillance footage of the Mexican border on the internet.
The cameras will be trained on sections of the 1,000-mile (1,600km) border known to be favoured by illegal immigrants. Web users who spot a suspicious crossing will be able to alert the authorities by telephoning a number free of charge.”
