Who is Alan Tudyk?
Firefly, Serenity, A Knight's Tale, Dodgeball, erm... that's primarily what I know him from.

Well, he hasn't done much more of note, though I do find him hillarious.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

This whole "horrid album cover" thing has become tired and boring, but now and then I come across something that I haven't seen before and that his horrid, sad, and fantastic at the same time:

His character's death in Serenity always makes me laugh, and I'm never completely sure it wasn't meant to do that.

I got a spam message on msn today.
Typical stuff. Some bot claiming to be a nubile young woman up for webcam sex with some random guy she's never met.
Just one snag in this bot's plan which went over and above the norm.
Its screen name was Henry.

I have the French national anthem blaring in the background (England-France match about to start.) Is it my imagination, or are Rugby crowds the most out-of-tune singers of national anthems in any sport known to man? :hmm:

WTF my census form is asking how much my mortgage is.  :huh:
Just thank them for not asking whether it's fixed or variable rate mortgage.

Do they have different forms in different places?  I don't remember questions as involved as that when I filled it out two days ago.

A subset gets a longer form IIRC.

So somebody has graduated from writing bad books to committing badly concealed theft, eh?
