- got $20million? Go to space!
- Paul Bunyun and his Blue Ox splitting up :(
- Microsoft wants to take on Google
- Dog marriage
- Our buddy Orrin the pirate
- The Jesus brother box war rages
- Strangely, anti-linux comments have upset linux supporters?
- Slingshots in space!

Lastly, we may be scoring some more expensive games soon, if we're lucky!

    My wife worked in accounting at Necco for a few years. she'd come home every day with factory mistakes in a box.... and her car would be covered with a fine misting of the sugar they put on the necco wafers..
