Jewish Capitalism: You have two cows. You set them on fire and
they burn for 8 days.


Actually, it should be:

Jewish Capitalism: You have two cows. You complain they never call you.

I agree, that is funnier. I suppose I just don't *get* the burning for
eight days reference.

I can think of another variation though:

Jewish Capitalism: You have two cows. Every farm around you for miles
keeps goats and wants your cows for themselves.

How many prominent defections from an administration does it take
before the leadership gets the picture?

Not a riddle actually, but in light of the numerous defections from
this administrations fold over the last year or so, I wonder if there
is a comparable historical parallel.

Has an administration undergone similar circumstance and later been
proven correct (as in the direction taken)?

I'm guessing it has to do with when they were trying to light lamps in
the temple and they didn't have much oil, but what they had lasted 8
days, and then Hanukkah was created to celebrate this.

Why you'd light your cow on fire for the purpose, though, is beyond me.

New Lost in Space series...

2004-04-17 Thread Gary Nunn

Nothing in the IMDB yet, but the below website appears to be current. -
Gary



The Robinson clan is headed back into deep space. The WB Network has
given a pilot order to a remake of the fantasy-adventure drama Lost in
Space, which ran on CBS from 1965-68. Feature filmmaker John Woo
(Mission: Impossible 2) is on board as an executive producer and direct
the pilot. 


The new model Space, to be set in the year 2097, will hew closely to
its progenitor by following the adventures of the Robinson family and
their loyal robot sidekick. 


In the original series, Guy Williams and June Lockhart played the heads
of a family of three who set out on a five-year mission to explore a
distant planet only to find themselves hopelessly lost in space after
the controls of the spacecraft are sabotaged by a nefarious scientist
who inadvertently winds up going along for the ride. 


Also executive producing will be Jon Jashni and Kevin Burns, whose
Synthesis Entertainment banner was formed in 2001 to overseerevivals of
the many TV and film properties controlled by Allen's estate.

I haven't seen any super recent stats (but then again, have there been any
super-recent resignations?) but I know that for a long while this
Administration had the fewest resignations of any modern Administration.

Malkovich joins THGTTG

2004-04-17 Thread Robert Seeberger
http://www.comingsoon.net/news.php?id=4313

John Malkovich is joining The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the
Disney adaptation of the Douglas Adams novel, says The Hollywood
Reporter. The film begins shooting this month in London, with Garth
Jennings at the directing.

Malkovich will play a religious cult leader called Humma Kavula,
created by the late author especially for the long-gestating film.

Mos Def plays Ford Prefect, an undercover alien who sets off on an
intergalactic journey with his best friend and the film's protagonist,
earthling Arthur Dent (Martin Freeman). The duo hitch a ride through
space -- with the two-headed ex-hippie Zaphod (Sam Rockwell); his
girlfriend, the beautiful scientist Trillion (Zooey Deschanel); and a
robot -- to discover the meaning of life.
