Some Rattlingz and a small portion of Friednewsday

If you've watched Wednesday's epic movie, you may have noticed the dashing hat worn by the male lead. My brother, looking at the original photographs, commented, "I like your hat." I have to agree with his taste in headgear. It's my official adventure hat. Because an expedition is only as great as its best hat...

There is a silent epidemic among us. Once called BBS (Bony Butt Syndrome), it has recently been given the more picturesque designation of "Assorexia." The juvenile version is called "Bunorexia." This malady prevents a person from gaining weight in their posterior, regardless of their overall size and fitness level. Oh, I know that many of you are saying, "Pffft! I'll take it!" Sounds great to have a small bum, eh? Just try sitting on the danged thing. Even cushioned chairs feel like granite boulders, and picnic benches become jagged ledges with razor-sharp spikes. And don't even get me started on trying to sit on the ground!

Endangered Ugandan gorillas join Facebook, MySpace

For a minimum donation of $1, fans can befriend a gorilla on Facebook or MySpace or follow it on Twitter. The money will be used to hire extra rangers to protect the gorillas and safeguard their habitat.

Sounds like a pretty good idea. However, their lesser-known relatives, the Nigerian gorillas, remain content to run e-mail scams aimed at defrauding Americans out of millions of bananas.
