A young Fife woman who struck up an online friendship with Frasier actor Kelsey Grammer has been forced to apologise to him after she pretended to have died on active service in Afghanistan.

Lauren Chalmers began conversing with the comedian on Twitter last month and told him she was a soldier about to be posted to Afghanistan. She then pretended to be her own mother, posting a message to him saying she had been killed by an improvised explosive device.

Says the founder of Pandora:

“Of the twenty hours a week that an average American spends listening to music, only three of it is stuff you own. The rest is radio,”

Being a special and unique creature, I listen to 50+ hours of music each week, all of it is stuff I own, and none is radio. The only time I listen to music on the radio is when I'm in someone else's car, or my local NPR station is doing a fund raiser.

I am not in Pandora's target demographic...

So I do a Google search on "mexican genetic makeup". I find a link to a site called worksheetsengine.com. It's got a little blurb from the site, etc.. Normal Google result link. So I click the link, and it takes me to what appears to be a Bing search results page for the same subject.

In fact, worksheetsengine.com by itself brings you to what looks like the Bing front page. It even has the little Bing browser icon.

But WhoIs says worksheetsengine.com is owned by Markus Culer, who lives in Saint-Petersburg, RU.

What's up with that ?

POTUS talks to PPOFB

As the 2010 World Cup approaches, friends, family, and coworkers of 32-year-old Brad Janovich are growing less tolerant of the exuberant behavior of the United States' lone soccer fan.
...
"Decorating his cubicle with World Cup stuff is fine, I guess," said coworker Greg Lafferty, who endured several elevator rides in which he politely listened to the lone American soccer fan evaluate international matchups before realizing that Janovich was discussing the outcomes of soccer games and not impending wars. "I myself have a Yankees pennant at my desk. But Brad has all these scarves draped all over everything. They hang into other people's areas, and when they ask him to move them, he responds by explaining what the scarf means. It's driving us nuts."
