"Though dedicated to fairness, the New York Times has relentlessly lashed Mel Gibson and his hit film and denigrated its defenders."

Rush to Cash In on DVD Boom
By SHARON WAXMAN
Published: April 20, 2004
“LOS ANGELES, April 19 – The other day the chairman of 20th Century Fox, Jim
Gianopulos, said he got a call from a lawyer friend. The friend said it was an anniversary
of the firm and asked where he could get 100 DVD copies of the cult Fox movie ‘Office
Space.’ The film made only $10 million at the box office but has become a hit
on DVD. No one at Fox pretends to know why, but the film’s success is another big
drop in the river of DVD cash now flowing into Hollywood’s coffers.”
Pope
accuses media of pro-gay bias
In a statement released for the Church’s World Communications Day, scheduled for this May, the pontiff said the media should concentrate on “marriage and family life,” and realize their responsibility to the general public. Despite claiming to reject censorship, the pope went on to say too many newspapers, TV channels and radio stations promote issues such as homosexuality, as well as contraception and abortion.
I think JPII is dead right on this one. Homosexuality is shown in a very favorable
light on TV. Anyone who doesn’t accept homosexuality as wholesome diversity is represented
as a bigot, rather than someone with moral conviction.
Aside from being a sad statement about the priorities of British youths, it'd frightening that anyone would say Michael Jackson has good looks. *shudder*
Beckham, not Jesus, is our hero, say British youths: poll
"LONDON (AFP) – George W. Bush and Jesus were left far behind football superstar David Beckham in an Internet survey of British young people's heroes…."
Providing further proof that good looks are the key to success, Beckham was followed in poll by filmstar Brad Pitt with 60 votes and singer Justin Timberlake with 58. Next came Michael Jackson, followed by Jennifer Lopez and Robbie Williams in the survey published on www.celebritystudy.com."

Estimating the Airspeed
Velocity of an Unladen Swallow
Hashing out the classic question with Strouhal numbers and simplified flight waveforms.
by Jonathan Corum
“After spending some time last month trying to develop alternate graphic presentations
for kinematic ratios in winged flight, I decided to try to answer one of the timeless
questions of science: just what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?”
