Have you always wanted to have an action figure that looks like you? Well, now your dreams can come true, at the Andgor toy company.

We the bloody Blokes of the bloomin' United States, in Order ter form a more perfect Union, right, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the bleedin' common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty ter ourselves and us Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the chuffin' United States of America.

That's the preamble to our Constitution, cockney style. Check out the Dialectizer, where you can translate web pages or plain text into redneck, pig latin, or Swedish Chef.

Adcritic is a great site where you can see television commercials. In their current top 10 list is President Clinton - Final Days, which is a great look at what Bill may be up to before he's out of the White House.

Okay, I'm going to do one of those "if you could have 10 people at your dinner party" kind of questions. Send me the names of 10 people you'd like to invite. They can be living, dead, or fictional. As a bonus, you can include the seating order. I'll post them here. Let me know if I can use your name or not.

Here are mine, in no particular order:

• Robin Williams (my favorite comedian, and I'm sure he'd liven up any dinner party)
  
• Harrison Ford (what is he really like?)
  
• Sir Edmund Hillary (what kind of nut is the first person to climb Mt. Everest?)
  
• Joan of Arc (was God really talking to her, or did she have a tumor?)
  
• Douglas Adams (one of my favorite authors)
  
• Margaret Atwood (another favorite author)
  
• James Herriot (read his books over and over again)
  
• Jesus Christ (just a few questions...)
  
• Steven Page (singer/songwriter from the Barenaked Ladies)
  
• R. Buckminster Fuller (fascinating visionary)

I'm going to die on July 15th, 2062, just 7 days shy of my 90th birthday. How sad. My most likely cause of death will be cancer, followed closely by Public Execution in a Third World Country.

"Twenty-five years after women first started pouring into the labor force--and trying to be more like men in every way, from wearing power suits to picking up golf clubs--new research is showing that men ought to be the ones doing more of the imitating. In fact, after years of analyzing what makes leaders most effective and figuring out who's got the Right Stuff, management gurus now know how to boost the odds of getting a great executive: Hire a female." - A recent study shows that female managers outshine their male counterparts.
