Ollie is 66 today.

Also, Happy Birthday today to John Mellencamp...........or John Cougar..........or John Cougar Mellencamp.......whatever name he's using this week.

Before you hop aboard a flight on Japanese airline Nippon Airways, you'd better not drink too much water. First of all, all passengers will be REQUIRED to use the bathroom in the airport first. The idea here is passengers will be lighter after visiting the bathroom and therefore lighter to carry. Therefore, less fuel is required.

In the words of the great Billy Mays, BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!! In addition, once on board, each passenger will be limited to one visit to the bathroom during the flight. I wonder who the lucky person is who gets to keep track of this. It's another way of saving fuel. At 30,000 feet, a single flush uses one litre of fuel. This is just nuts, isn't it? How far are they going to go with this? Are they also going to demand that you trim your fingernails, blow your nose and clean out your ear wax too?

I blame all of this on Al Gore. Not for any particular reason. I just blame EVERYTHING on Al Gore.

In looking for stuff to write about for this entry, I ran across the top movie money-makers this past week. I won't bore you with the whole top ten list, but a few interesting little notes.

#8 on the list is Capitalism: A Love Story, Michael Moore's latest propaganda film. Last week alone, it brought in $4.5 million. Not bad for a guy who hates capitalism.

#2 was Cloudy with A Chance Of Meatballs, bringing in over $15 million last week.

#1 on the list: Zombieland

What's with the titles of these movies?? Cloudy With A chance Of Meatballs????

It sounds like the lab results of Tony Soprano's urine sample.
