Rumor:

Hurricane Katrina nothing more than elaborate hoax?
From what we're hearing, this could be true.

Nothing more than Anne Frank and her Holocaust or Neil and his Spaceboys- or even those fucking chads of paper in Florida.

Many readers are sharing the same feelings, including longtime reader, Bob Haskins of Topeka: "I've got to be honest, it was a sigh of relief when the news spread earlier this afternoon. I mean it was something that I knew in the back of my mind and at the bottom of my heart. There is no way a Tornado could do that to a city!!"

But Why?
So many questions unanswered and so many more to be asked.

More--as soon as the story breaks!

New WoW Expansion Brings World One Step Closer to a [Safer] World Without Nerds


A new World of Warcraft Expansion has just been announced. The tentative title is: Wrath of the Lich King. Nerds everywhere are attempting to reserve a copy. Too bad there isn't a release date as of yet.

Local nerd, Harriet Freewheel stated: "I won't be able to get laid for months after this comes out. Unless of course, it is in the WoW."

Gil's response was a positive one: "We all know that nerds are dangerous and socially embarrassing. I really think this could be good for humanity as a whole. Nerds have been behind wars, the atom bomb, and biological warfare. If we can keep making games that occupy them, we can buy more time before humanity destroys itself."

Our opinion at MR sides with Gil. However, we all know Harriet is not getting laid.

Heavy Metal Music Addictive, Good for Career


Sweden's English-language news outlet reported in June that the government's employment service had granted Roger Tullgren, 42, supplemental income benefits based on his illness of addiction to heavy-metal music. Tullgren (with long, black hair, tattoos and skull-and-crossbones jewelry and who said he attended nearly 300 concerts last year) said he had been addicted for 10 years but finally got three psychologists to sign off on calling his condition a disability. His employer now permits Tullgren to play his music at his dishwashing job. [TheLocal.se, 6-19-07]

We have had similar problems here at MR. Brass has been addicted to lotions and Ben Gibbard for 2 years counting.

Bridge to Terabithia Delievers Laughs Up to the Very End



"We rule Terabithia, and nothing crushes us!", says Leslie Burke from Disney's latest take on the novel, Bridge to Terabithia. BtT is one of the most comedic movies we have seen in years.

"One of the best attempts at 'smart-comedy' since the film, My Girl," raves David Cronenberg. "I own four copies of this DVD, one for each room in the house!" As David tells the MassReviews staff this, his eyes are watering.

For a synopsis of the film go to the IMDB's website or don't be a lazy-ass and read the children's book. The film stars Zooey Deschanel and the T-1000. T-1000's liquid metal properties add an element to the film that the book didn't have, however, this is one of those cases where the book is better than the movie.
