News of the Moment
So they busted some guys from Infocom for possible terrorists. While I don't think it's the same Infocom who made all those text-only games in the 1980s, it brings to mind some funny ideas...

You are on a sidewalk. There is a bus stop to the north.
What do you want do now?

You have:
a cheap wrist watch (being worn)
a vest of explosives (being worn)
a can of diet coke
What do you want do now?

You are at a bus stop. There are many Israelis here. It is sunny.
What do you want do now?

martyr myself for the glorious jihad of the palestinean people!
Sorry, I don't know how to "martyr".
>
wage jihad and smash the infidel jews in a rain of fire!
Sorry, I don't know how to "wage".
Ok, maybe not quite as funny as I envisioned.
Movie Link of the Moment
FilmWise's Invisibles are a very cool idea...they photoshop out people's bodies from scenes from movies, leaving just the clothes, and the results are surprisingly difficult to identify. This here is a famous scene from "Basic Instinct". Only a hardcore movie buff will be able to guess more than one or two.
Movie Quote of the Moment
"If pictures have anything to say, it's this: I was here, I existed. I was young and happy and someone cared enough about me to take my picture."
--One Hour Photo. Haven't seen this one, actually, but it was the imdb.com quote of the day.
