Naked Gun is probably one of the most influential comedy movis for me - I must have watched this film hundreds of times. RIP Leslie Neilson, a sad loss for funniness everywhere...

A little christmas ditty
For me coming from the southern hemisphere and living in London it doesn't exactly feel like christmas at the moment, but this song does a great job of reminding us what's important.
Thanks to Marissa for posting.

I know - I'm not usually one for this kind of cute overload stuff, but this is actually a winner.

Very cool image from NASA's image of the day - An Extremely Thin Galaxy
The Extremely Thin Galaxy, courtesy of NASA's Pic of the day is an almost perfectly side-on view of a disk galaxy. Looks like the reminants of the Milleniun Falcon entering hyperspace to me...
Alcohol does have some redeeming qualities

Cool and unexpected Deep Purple cover - Perfect Strangers
I was listening to the excellent new album by Norwegian Black Metallers - turned Epic Symphonic... I don't know what to call it! Even the album title doesn't lend clues - Abrahadabra. Whatever it is, the new album is a huge step away from their early days and makes for fantastic listening. There is even a hidden track that will seem very familiar to fans of classic rock. Highly recommend this album. Its the first CD in a long time that I hit play again as soon as it finishes!
