• Rejection letters from Xavier's School of Exceptional Youth.
  "Dear Sarah "Fan Girl" Williams,
  
  We regret to inform you that you have not been selected as a member of this year's class. Being able to recite, verbatim, the lines from every Orlando Bloom movie, while impressive, is not technically a superpower. Also, the fact that you are prohibited by law from coming within 10 miles of Orlando Bloom might limit our team's scope of service. Thank you for your interest in Xavier's School of Exceptional Youth.
  
  Sincerely,
  Professor X

  And what we love is we love freedom. We love the fact that freedom can worship an—the freedom to worship Oliver North the way we see fit. Sept. 5, 2002

SockIt2Me.com. Actually, it's got a great fusion of dork and geek as well.

Oh, I'd like to point out that today is the last day that the feds will match your donation for tsunami relief. CBC has a list of the NGOs which are recognized for this (a list which includes the three above.) They've also provided a tally on the international game of one-up-manship going on here (though the Aussies are taking all comers in total and per capita aid.) If only we could make this kind of commitment to the 30+ million dying of AIDS in Africa...

India continues to confuse me with its response to the disaster. They do good things (see mangroves). They do neutral things (not accepting donations), and some pretty terrible things (denying aid based on the ridiculous caste system).

nice, Paras.

so, that guy on the bus last night suggested ZMag.org to us, it's pretty interesting. a lot less fluff than Mother Jones and a lot more substance... interesting.

What was the website that you'd suggested? I can't remember, just that it had a 2 in it.

I told you guys only Warhammer 40K makes you a uber-geek, either that or you know the answer to this question: If a Emperor class Imperator Titan was to get in a fight with Legendary Giant God Ideon who would win? And what move would they use to finish each other off?

Paras, don't quote yourself and leave it anonymous, it's misleading.
