Hi! I have some links for you, only one of them fannish but all of them, I think, varying degrees of cool.
First, SCIENCE. Astronomy, actually.
'Ribbon' found at edge of solar system. Yay for unexpected things in space! The solar system has a bow wave of some kind? \o? Also bonus cool: they can still track the Voyagers even though they are waaaaaaaaaay out there. Woot.
32 new planets found. Great success! Imagine how many little rock planets there are below the detection threshold. I predict 4.534565x1019. You heard it here first. It's like those "guess how many gumballs in the jar" things.
Second, Toronto!
Toronto to host World Pride 2014. Yay! Guess I know where I'm going for Canada Day in five years. :D
NB: It is NOT in any way worth your while to read the comments on the CBC articles. It will crush your faith in Canada, and humanity in general.
Third, epic pwnage:
This pdf of the smackdown of that crazypants Orly Taitz. Simultaneously an epic, scathing "bitch, please," and a prime example of how 40-odd pages formal legalese can be beautiful.
Fourth, Paul Fucking Gross!
From
here:
on set in Montreal to shoot cameos in the upcoming feature film Barney's Version - the multiaward-winning filmmakers were thoroughly and gleefully humiliated by their fictitious TV producer Barney (played by Paul Giamatti) who called Egoyan's work “appalling” and Cronenberg “stupid.” Among other things.
But the verbal abuse these two men took in their cameos was nothing compared to the ribbing Paul Gross endured as he once again slipped on a red Mountie suit to do his cameo as a Due South -type law enforcer, who stars in the film's fictional TV series, O'Malley of the North.
Are you going to watch that movie? I am going to watch that movie.
... The End.
