As you know, I love and use linux as my primary operating system. Our founder and spiritual leader is Linus Torvalds. Linus is a pretty bright guy, given to speaking his mind. Sometimes he's a tad grumpy, especially during this exchange about Nvidia's statement that they are flatly ignoring and not supporting linux.
What, you've never seen an octopus hitching a ride on a dolphin's genitals before?
Remember that Princely fellow William who recently got married to a Kate? Kate has apparently been shown her place by Lupo, the cocker spaniel. We here at ThermionicEmissions wish to salute William on his excellent taste in black cockers. While Marshall is upset that Lupo is an English cocker, what else can we expect from the Limeys?
Well, it's been a few days since our friends at the TSA have been in the news. This week I bring you news of a different kind of TSA story. A lady had a serious complaint about how she was groped, so she groped a TSA agent. We need more stories like this.
Over in Bedford County, Virginia, a dead dog received a voter registration form. I don't know about his voting plans, but if he ran, I'd vote for him. He has to be better than the current set.
Over at the Jerry Sandusky trial, Mrs. Sandusky took the stand for the defense today. Before the questioning got started, Mrs. Sandusky was heard to ask why Jerry kept asking her to dress up like an altar boy. [I made this up.]
And lastly, Msgr Lynn, of the Philadelphia Catholic Church sex abuse scandal, has requested house arrest instead of jail. I'm not sure but I heard that he's requesting the Ronald McDonald House arrest.

The Ministry of Silly Hats
Those of you who are avid Monty Python fans (to hell with the rest of you) will remember John Cleese in the Ministry of Silly Walks sketch. It's some of the most brilliant (and silly) physical comedy you will ever see.
For some reason, I have been seeing a lot of royal British types in the news lately, perhaps because of that poor girl's impending wedding to Son of Jug-Ears. I didn't realize it until recently but those wacky Brits enjoy their extremely silly hats, leaving me to inquire as to whether or not there's a Ministry of Silly Hats in the UK.
OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMER: I understand that the Brits are absolutely nuts over their royals and Bob's Your Uncle to them. I support them every bit as much as I support the right of the French to surrender at a moment's notice.
I just start questioning things when the wacky Americans become befuddled by the royals.
CONSPIRACY THEORY: After a closer look at Kate, I have been led to wonder if she's actually a citizen of England. Just between us, she's a bit too attractive to be British. And those teeth...
Let's face it: we Colonists don't have royals (not counting President and Mrs Giveaway, George Bush, and Simon Cowell). It's ok when it's an obsession on the other side of the pond; it's just plain weird when the American Great Unwashed get involved.
Perhaps there's a break in Americans Idle. Maybe Dancing with the Stars has gone on hiatus. Is Glee done for the season? Who knows?
Still, we have the matter of those hats. Some seem to defy gravity. It's apparent that there is no requirement for them to be level (or even close). Some block out the sun, although this isn't fair, as England doesn't have sun (kinda like Philadelphia).
People features an article on Kate's top ten hats. My favorite is the purple one that she appears to be wearing on her forehead. But don't miss the one that looks like a cymbal from a heavy metal drum set.
These are particularly fuzzy. After that, some refuse to obey laws of physics.
Oh no - look: we're not immune either!
Small wonder the Brits look down on us.
