This and That

Way back in October '07 I wrote a post with a link to a cockatoo dancing to the Backstreet Boys. Here is one dancing to Ray Charles:

I recently caught the new "Red Dwarf" special on the internet and IMO it wasn't very special :(
I also caught up on the 6th and 7th episodes of "Law & Order:UK" which are the last to be shown until the fall. Both were rewrites of episodes of the original series (1.06 was based on "Heaven" and 1.07 was based on "Helpless") but done with a few small twists and again I must say that the British stiff upper lip has vanished - the last ep "Aleysha" was absolutely riveting and much better than the original.

Once more I found a long lost article on the web. Way back in 1997 I read an essay in the Smithsonian that so resonated with me that I never forgot it. I finally tracked it down again. May I present to you Think of all you'd miss if your reading skills weren't 'enhanced' by age by Frederica Mathewes-Green. LOL
