The Letter

Stephen Fry is one of my favorite of very few humorist / intellectual / actor / geniuses. Rowan Atkinson is another. Fry's book, The Liar - is one of my favorites. Here is a sketch filmed at Cambridge University looking at his usual obsession with language and turn of phrase. Enjoy.

Roses

Undoubtedly my favorite album of 1989 - and ranks as one of the best debut albums ever made. It still burns my butt that I could have seen them in Wales, but I didn't want to spend the money.

Worst Chips Ever

9. Tako Chips Octopus Flavored
They're not quite octo-licious. Taste bad and smell awful.

3. Howard's Crispy Fried Chicken Skins
Putting a chicken skin in a bag might not be such a good idea.

2. Cuttlefish Flavored Snack
These just don't smell right.

20 Greatest Historical Myths

15. Van Gogh sliced off his ear

Van Gogh is known as the archetypal starving artist, only selling one painting in his lifetime, and - in a quarrel with Gauguin - slicing off his ear, not long before committing suicide. Though he did face a tragic end, and his own paintings sold poorly, it is worth noting that he spent most of his life teaching and dealing art. He only spent eight years of his life painting, which helps to explain why he didn't starve to death. Also, he didn't slice off his entire ear, just a portion of his left lobe. Painful, but not nearly as bad as you might have thought.

Tom Snyder and U2

Two of my favorite things - together at last in 1981.
