Y'know who else should carry the blame for this one? The parents, who managed to raise kids who actually believe in bad luck, curses, and Tarot readings.

Just finished The Orphanage, listening to my wife cry softly from the couch. People, *that* is how you tell a silly ghost story... hell, a story in general. No matter how well-worn your plot, if you believe in what you're doing, you can make magic. Fuckin' A.
I haven't bothered to fiddle with it much 'til now, but Google's SearchWiki is actually very cool. Also brilliant from a business perspective, since they've now got me adding value to their search engine that I can't take with me to Bing or something else.
Just watched the pilot for #Virtuality. Three things: (1) Dumb, Fox-ish title. (2) The best thing I've seen from television since the first eps of BSG, Deadwood, and The Shield. (3) This thing has *zero* chance with a mass audience.
It's always exciting when someone finds a buried piece of the past in an unexpected location. It's like, "what the hell is under *my* house?"

Roger, I'm with you. I love these pockets of things that just pop up from time to time where people have lived for centuries. Of course, I first read it as 4000 year old untouched "comb" -- and was just as excited. I love history and archaeology :)
