Three for fun

1) The lone wolf known as OR-7 has crossed back over into California after less than a week in Oregon. He jumps from state to state almost as often as Sandra Fluke jumps from bed to bed.

2) It was named "First Knight," a film about King Arthur (Sean Connery) and Lancelot (Richard Gere) in a love triangle with Julia Ormond (Guinevere), who plays the part of the hypotenuse. After a plethora of swordfighting, Arthur is killed and given a Viking funeral. The only reason I can see for implying he was of Norse background is that it gave the director the opportunity to push the ritual barge out onto the lake, and when it was about 100 yards away, have one archer launch an improbable single, high-arcing flaming arrow which flew directly to the target and created what looked like an immediate gasoline-fueled blaze. How dramatic; so Hollywood!

3) My favorite moderately-priced beer is Moosehead, a product of St. John, New Brunswick, eh. If you drink only to get drunk, Budweiser and other popular American swill is slightly cheaper.
