  • Seattle Outtakes Pipe In theory, if I've done this correctly, this pipe should be a Seattle Outtakes RSS feed. ➡
  • True Blood Anna Paquin, vampires, and Utilikilts in the same show? Sounds to me like it'll at least be worth checking out an episode or three. ➡

  • Communion on the moon? It was the first time liquid -- wine, representing Christ's blood -- was ever poured on the moon. The specially blessed bread Aldrin consumed -- representing Christ's body -- was the first meal eaten by humans on another celestial body. ➡
  • Too Americanized? Pentagon officials says Americanizing Iraq is difficult because Iraqi%u2019s have had little to no reliable information for the past 35 years, and have lived on a diet of innuendo, rumor, conspiracy theories, fear, and propaganda.
