Some Sunday morning reading to share, influenced by working on Othello.
My good friend and collaborator Steve Pryzyblski points to a little bit of subliminal advertising (or is it an easter egg?) in the trailer for Mel Gibson's Apocalypto. Explains a lot. Check it out here. Goats and Monkeys.
Pluto demoted. Damn.
Here are a couple of stories that open the eyes to just how much of a mixed bag of nuts we have in our crazy quilt of a country:
From the Shreveport Times comes word that a school bus driver directed nine African-American students to the back of the bus, reserving the front seats for white students.
Via The J-Walk Blog, comes word that a minister in Watertown, NY, has dismissed a female Sunday School teacher based on this piece of scripture from the first epistle to Timothy: "I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent." And we thought the Taliban was extreme. Goats and Monkeys.
No goats, but baby albino monkeys. Cute. Wonder what seat they would get on the bus?
And speaking of the Taliban. Apparently, the world's favorite cave dweller (and presumed goat herder), Osama Bin Laden, had such an obsession with Whitney Houston that he was plotting to kill her husband Bobby Brown, and break his rule on color to marry her. This according to one of his other wives. Explains so much. Cue a remake of The Bodyguard.
Goats and Monkeys: Othello. Act IV Scene 1. In case you're curious.
