Seven people are dead Saturday following an avalanche near Revelstoke, British Columbia. [CBC News] .< 2:16:10 AM >"CBC reporter links Shuttle demise to "American Arrogance™"" [Daypop Top 40] Methinks our man Nicholas is overreacting to an admitedly silly remark. Meanwhile he's being encouraged by this bozo (who is perhaps in a perpetual fury?) who seems to be of the 'you're either with us or against us' crowd. I watched a bit of live coverage today and heard and saw a number of remarkably stupid things happen. .< 1:59:12 AM >Remains found among shuttle debris. Human remains are recovered from the scattered wreckage of the space shuttle Columbia as Nasa launches an inquiry into the disaster.

[Guardian Unlimited] .< 12:47:14 AM >Guardian Unlimited Observer | Special reports | US bombers to start war with onslaught on Saddam palace 'Details of the military planning appear to have been leaked to coincide with President Bush's assertions last week that he would 'welcome' the departure of Saddam and his family if that meant war could be avoided, suggesting renewed approaches to persuade him to quit voluntarily. The stepping up of the information war comes as some British officials admit that they are losing the argument with the British public, following months of incoherent and often contradictory assertions over Iraq on every issue from its claimed retention of nuclear weapons (declared unlikely by inspectors) to Saddam's much vaunted links with al-Qaeda.' A leak designed to scare the bejesus out of Saddam. .< 12:44:59 AM >AI's CWoB: YellowText 'No doubt there are people siezing the opportunity, scrambling at this very moment to assemble reports and PowerPoint presentations, preparing an argument of how manned space flight can be gradually phased-out over the next eight years...freeing billions for unmanned exploration, or possibly invading Canada. (Their ways are weird, many of them are bearded, not only do they have oil BUT they have great beer and no religious mandate against soldiers drinking it; what the hell are we waiting for?)' This is mostly a serious article about the Columbia disaster. But this being Andy he can't help but drop in a hilarious line or two. Count me amongst the bearded ones! .< 12:36:20 AM > Musical Valentine eCardsWe bring back our special feature "Top 10 Musical Valentines" from February 2001.
