A one-liner from the Roto-Rooter man: "With all the hose I've got, I should be a pimp."
Rodney Dangerfield he isn't.

Over time, we learned that the single biggest contributing factor to newsstand sales was a reader?s ability to recognize the woman on the cover. But Hollywood being what it is, and Maxim?s reputation being what it is, you?re just not going to find 12 of those women every year, and you?ve still got a magazine to sell.
--Former Maxim editor speaks out--did I already link to this?

Museum of Hoaxes! Letter from Osama!(?) U.S. as new Roman empire? Ooh, vintage synths. Time magazine has a fairly-crappy speculative piece on The Sims Online. Microsoft engineers suggest that efforts to block file-swapping are pointless. Also, they're using the catchy neologism 'Darknet' to refer to these (Gnutella and Freenet, mostly, I'd presume) rogue networks. I almost hope it catches on. Radio Shack's not asking for names and addresses any more? I'll believe it when next I go to buy Ni-Mh batteries. Tidbit from that article: Radio Shack was collecting customer names and addresses at least as early as 1963.
