I just bought and watched "Silent Movie." Ask me anything.
But first, is it just me or does Richard Dawkins look a lot like Sid Caesar circa 1976?

2. Did you know...
That Mel Brooks was married to Anne Bancroft? I just read his biography.

5. Speaking of Mel and Anne...
In the film version of the musical version of "The Producers," there's a tribute to Anne Bancroft. During the song in which Bialystock goes to <ahem> "visit" all the wealthy old ladies, as he rings all of the buzzers in the foyer, one of them is labeled "A. Bancroft."

8. I was pretty sure I saw it the first time...
So I went back, knowing Mel's penchant for quick sight gags. There's a bunch of famous names on the buzzer list.

10. Either one is a-OK, I just don't want Raikkonen to win.
I want Massa to win the race so they end in a relatively similar standing within Ferrari.

Although I kinda admit I want to see the Brits' long faces if Alonso wins. They're all treating Hamilton like the Second Coming.

13. I miss Anne
Visit my website I made for her -- http://fannetastic.com. Her mom and sisters enjoy the site very much. Her mom turned 100 years old this past week! Amazing.
