King and I Disagree on Closeness of Super Bowl XXXIX (Feb 04 2005 20:02 GMT) - Salon.com's King Kaufman has some predictions for Super Bowl XXXIX that range from insightful to hilarious. Here's one with which I disagree: "The game will not be decided on a last-second field goal, but it will still be in doubt in the final minute, and it will be considered one of the most exciting Super Bowls in history." I think this one will be over by the end of the third quarter because one of these teams is going to find a way to score early enough that the other team is forced to play catch-up, a game at which neither club has any real experience of late. |

Fark may turn out to be worthwhile after all (Feb 04 2005 20:02 GMT) - Fighting crime with Photoshop. For the past three years, a twelve-year-old girl has been sexually abused, with a photographic record in circulation via the internet. Police have been tracking the photographs, but have not released them for fear of tipping off her kidnappers—until today, with the girl photoshopped out of the pictures. Now they're asking the public to help identify the locations. So far the response has been overwhelming, and has narrowed the search for the crime scene to a single hotel. |
