I still think more people got caught up on Lost then watched the Pro Bowl...

I posted yesterday on Steady Burn asking what folks were watching while they weren't watching the Pro Bowl? The responses included:

  • The Royal Rumble
  • Arrested Development
  • The Grammys (barely an alternative)
  • Golden Girls (now that's more like it!)

Even reading was an alternative, because as Jake Rosen points out, "what's the point of football if there's no tackling?"

The 101 Most Influential People Who Never Lived...

101mostinfluential_pb_c

From a practical standpoint, by my estimation Mickey Mouse and The Marlboro Man are the top earners on this list, yet one of them is #1 and the other is ranked #18. Also, no real surprise who the top ranked 80's superhero personality is (#48). My dark horses on the list: HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey and J.R. from Dallas.


Hopefully Nessie disciples won't take this whole thing too personally.

I actually spurred a commenter debate...about zip codes

All you normal people remember when Newman said: Let me tell you something about zip codes, they're meaningless! Right?

Great line from the classic episode The Betrayal. Right up there with vile weed!

Well, a few folks in the Digg community didn't quite get the joke when I posted that Newmanism on a link to an infographic comparing the U.S. and U.K. postal services...
