Peter Keefe, who blended "Go Lion" and "Dierugger" to create "Voltron", died a few days ago.  Link to obit article, but it says very little more than what I've just typed.

I was thinking it would either open a comunication link to the OMG! universe that Doug visited, or allow him to view the universal source code. Any other ideas?

If you like both UNO and Munchkin then you need to Buy.  This.  Game.  NOW!

My family had endless hours of fun playing it when we were guests of some friends for a day or two.  It's like UNO, only you can backstab people just like in Munchkin, or even kill the hand entirely, forcing everyone to tally up their score on the spot.  If you had the right card, though, you could ressurect it.  (^_^)
EDIT: Bumping this, because getting buried in the second page back in about a day doesn't bode well for visability.

Just received this from Prometheus Music. They've authorized posting on YouTube of a large variety of out-of-print tracks, including a lot of Julia Ecklar's early work.

Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode.

This is almost as cool as weasels on crack, with the added benefit of it actually being done (i have yet to hear about science experiments where they give drugs to Mustelidaes)

In an effort to study how drugs affect memory, scientists have been drugging snails with methamphetamine and cocaine.

Why snails? because they have a much simpler neural network, and peta doesn't raise a fit when you drug them and poke them with sticks. Ok, I'm not so sure about the last part.

I fully expect to see this as a Ig Noble nominee.
