Just a minute

It was not six weeks ago that Bristol Palin was saying that Levi Johnston is a "stranger to her".

Now they're getting married?

This is a little hasty, which has been the problem with their relationship all along. Will this wedding actually take place? The world (not to mention all the gay guys who subscribe to Playgirl) wait with baited breath.

Wiki-interesting

Interesting graphic, showing that if Wikipedia were printed out, it would be 1,410 volumes long and require a little over seven stacks of library space to accommodate the whole encyclopedia.

Book Recommendation

Dave Barry's History of the Millennium (So Far), a compilation of his end-of-the-year columns for 2000 to 2007. I picked it up for an airplane ride and was very glad I did. It's always so useful to reflect on recent history.

I only recently read his review of 2009 and it's really funny. You should go read it now.

Superman Musical

I suppose you saw this article in the NYT, about the revival of the Superman musical currently being staged in Dallas.

This gives me a second reason to want to visit Dallas. (The first being my desire to see the Southfork Ranch.)

So, my interest piqued, I searched on YouTube and it appears they have a made-for-TV version of the Superman musical from 1975. And, my God, that looks like it must have been one of the worst made-for-TV movies of all time (and there's a lot of competition in that category). If I had to pick just two random aspects of the production for criticism, I'd pick, oh, I don't know, the sets and the uninspired choreography.
