What a cool guy… Harrison Ford rescued a hiker who had taken ill from heat, altitude and dehydration while climbing a mountain trail. Another hiker called for help, and then along comes Mr. Indiana Jones in his Bell 407 Helicopter to save the guy. Apparently he lives part time in Jackson, Wyo., and offers his flying skills and helicopter for rescue missions.

I hate Mondays. That’s all… I hate them.

What is with this recent obsession with giant fiberglass animals? Toronto’s got the moose, New York’s got cows, and didn’t I hear Calgary had something as well? Anyway, apparently David Lynch did a cow for New York that didn’t go over too well. Anybody know of any other giant fiberglass animals? e-mail me.

Who’s doing the fooling? So Gervase got the boot on Survivor last night, ending weeks of speculation that he was the winner of the $1,000,000 prize. The speculation started when a supposed error on CBS‘s Survivor website revealed pictures of all the castaways with x’s in front of their faces, except for Gervase. The question now is, who staged this hoax? The smart money’s on CBS and Mark Burnett… the stunt certainly got people talking. Oh yeah, and Rich won immunity this week (and did a little dance) – damn! Get rid of that jerk!

So apparently the Ontario Court of Appeals has ruled that Canada’s current law prohibiting the posession of marijuana is unconstitutional. The ruling says that Canada must have a marijuana law that allows people who have legitimate medical need to smoke the drug. According to the ruling, if the federal government doesn’t put a new law on the books within 12 months, it will cease to be a crime to grow or smoke marijuana in Ontario.

Some people have too much time on their hands… Here’s how you can turn your computer into a small still for purifying alcohol. Hmmm….

Evolution resumes in Kansas. It seems two of the three state education leaders who last year led a campaign to downplay the theory of evolution in schools have been given the boot. Survival of the fittest is a bitch, ain’t it? (thanks to arcade at metafilter)

Take 2 days off… and suddenly my mailbox is FULL of stuff to do… so just a small post for now – maybe more later.
