Hundreds expected to come to (and at) Britains Masturbate-a-thon.
"The amount you raise will be determined by how many minutes you masturbate and/or how many orgasms you achieve," the Web site said. There can be no touching of other participants nor are people allowed to fake orgasms.

Verizon, AT&T and Comcast are lobbying Congress hard to implement what used to be a joke: an Internet tax. They want users to pay to ensure access to content and high speed performance, blowing up the very system that has made them stupid rich. Hmmm, that's funny, I thought I already paid every month. Does that mean I get my monthly DSL fee refunded? Didn't think so. In effect, they want to hold your Internet hostage, and they're willing to pay off Congress to do it.
Sign the petition at savetheinternet.com, write your congresspeeps, and tell them to support the "Internet Freedom Preservation Act of 2006" (S. 2917) amendment that will protect net neutrality from the bloated telco vipers.

30 second Creative Commons political ads highlighting some of Dubya's "accomplishments." Good stuff.

Camann's father, William, an anesthesiologist, and his mother, Rhonda, who have spent the weekend hovering on the sidelines, say they were a bit worried when their son began cubing two or three hours a day, concerned that his marks might suffer.
The latest drug crisis in our youth? Nah, just folks a little too into Rubik's Cube.
(Note: There don't appear to be too many Unofficial World Records posted for "Rubik-like" puzzles on speedcubing.com, so get crackin' and you too could see your name in lights.)

I thought that the Rockettes weren't coming to Chicago anymore, but what do I know? What's the big deal with them anyway?
In other news, if you haven't seen the Joffrey Ballet's "The Nutcracker" at the Auditorium Theatre, you really should.

Evidently there's a Corndog Festival every year that includes Corndog Styling. I think I saw the "New York Dogs" live in my kitchen after a long night of drinking and eating pork snouts wrapped in corn sweaters.

...they get into a fight and one ends up dead?
Two male exotic dancers had a spat after a gig, and the prettiness was over. When the fight spilled into the street, as many as thirty people saw a passing car hit one of them and toss him 90 feet down the street, where he died in his black leather jumpsuit.
Police are seeking the other stripper known only as... "Q."
hmmmm...
Witnesses are saying nothing. I can only cover for you so long, Q.

Cricket-mad Australians at the fifth Ashes test in Sydney this week made sure they missed none of the action by hiring the latest sports accessory, a "beer wench".
Another example of idea outweighing execution, but whatever...

I told you Ruth Stone would win the National Book Award for Poetry! A remarkable achievement for a 22 year old woman. But sorry, boys, she spoken for!

"No listening for the song of the day... no need to be the 7th caller... simply drop dead as Cincinnati's 100th shooting victim this year, and you're a winner!" Darryl Parks, station operations manager, wrote in the fax.
But "The Last Contest You'll Ever Need" wasn't supposed to be taken seriously, Parks said Wednesday afternoon.

This reminds me of the contest Pepsi ran offering a fighter jet (as a joke) if you collected enough product points. Some guy did it, and when Pepsi tried to dodge the award, the guy sued and won.
