The Smoking Gun (no pun intended)
Not only was he a "little crazy", he was also a "little Bill Shakespeare"...
This play by Cho Seung-Hui, a 23-year-old English major, was submitted last year as part of a short story writing class. Entitled "Richard McBeef," Cho's bizarre play features a 13-year-old boy who accuses his stepfather of pedophilia and murdering his father.

An official announcement is expected on Tuesday that Vince Young will appear on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" as part of the kickoff promotion for the newest version the popular NFL video game that is endorsed by NFL Hall of Fame coach and analyst John Madden.The Tennessee Titans quarterback will appear on the cover of Electronic Arts' Madden 2008 football games this year, reports Nashville's City Paper.
Popular superstition holds, as you probably know, that the Madden cover is "jinxed" and that every player who appears on it suffers a serious, usually season-ending, injury during the year the game is on shelves. Madden 2007's cover star Shaun Alexander injured his left foot and missed six games in 2006.
Burn, Baby! Burn!
Richard Gere's repeated kisses on the cheeks of Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty in an event to promote AIDS awareness sparked protests in India on Monday with demonstrators burning effigies of the actors.Many saw the act as an outrage against Shetty's modesty and Indian culture, though Shetty herself angrily dismissed the protests as an "over-reaction" that made India look silly.
Groups of men burned and kicked effigies of the actors in protests across India, including in the northern Indian cities of New Delhi, Kanpur, Meerut and Varanasi as well as in the central city of Indore.
Some called for the actors' deaths. Others wanted public apologies. Fingermyblog demands both!!
The clinch between the two stars had originally gone down well when it happened onstage at an event on Sunday night to encourage truckers -- seen as a high-risk group in India's fight against AIDS -- to wear condoms during sex.
"No condom, no sex," an ebullient 58-year-old Gere shouted in Hindi to thousands of truck drivers who roared his words back in unison at a dusty fairground in New Delhi.

Starting All Over
Why does it feel like every Monday we have to start all over? I mean the weekends with friends and family fly by so fast, it's almost like we don't get a chance to enjoy it. Now we're back here (work) and trying to just get through the week to do it again. Oh well...we'll always have the memories.

No Matter How Long, No Matter How Far
Though not the highest peak in the state, Karpuk Peak is the most traveled to house in North America and second in the world only to Mr. Fujimoto’s in Japan. Joe O. was the first white man to see the peak in 1806. Unfortunately, the man whose name is tied to the peak, was never able to reach the summit. He even predicted that no one would ever be able to scale this Hellertown mountain. But in 1820, Avon Marksdale and 13(?) others climbed the mountain and reached the summit. Today, over 16 people reach the summit each year, either by foot, automobile, or railroad. Those who have reached the summit understand what Kathy Lee Bates felt when she reached the summit, and was inspired to write the poem "America the Beautiful."
There are a few ways to reach the summit. For those who wish to hike it, the Perkiomen Trail leads up the mountain to the summit. For those not in the physical condition to hike up, Highway 76 also leads to the summit. For a travel back in time, you can take the Karpuk Peak Railroad to the summit. Choose wisely…
