- I bought a book of crossword puzzles shortly after turning in my grading and have done a number of them. This is erratically becoming a Christmas tradition, as I have worked on crosswords the last two Christmas breaks as well. The thing is - these puzzles are all clearly designed for people much older than me. Hearing some of the clues, my father suggested they were designed for people much older than him as well!I'm not all that good at crosswords yet, and certainly can't do cryptics, but it's much easier to do a crossword puzzle which doesn't require me to know the names of actors in 1950s TV shows and the like. |

- The French prime minister on Wednesday asked national carrier Air France to cancel six flights between Paris and Los Angeles over Christmas due to a security threat to the United States, which is on high alert. Air France said departing and returning flights on two days were canceled. The airline was named in a Washington Post report on Wednesday that said U.S. officials were putting foreign carriers under scrutiny as part of precautions against another September 11-style attack. |

- This has been around for awhile but since it’s pretty clever, I thought I’d pass it by you anyway. (And no, I have no clue if any of the computations are even close to being correct…) No known species of reindeer can fly. However, there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer which only Santa has ever seen. There are approximately two billion children (persons under... |

- (Adapted from an earlier post on Rushkoff.com)Christmas is a weird time for Jews. It's treated by most of America as a secular holiday, like Valentine's Day or Halloween (I know – neither started as a secular holiday, but they've lost most of their religious or pagan content). But it really feels to a lot of Jews like Christmas is still about Christ, or at least about a value system that's post-Judaic. |
