Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray during a diving expedition, Australian media said. He was 44. The guy was over the top but man, I enjoyed his enthusiasm! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060904/ap_on_en_tv/obit_irwin

Anyone have experience purchasing a Montecristi / Panama straw hat? I am not quite willing to go to an Optimo or Brent Black level, so looking for a good value in the lower tiers...

Hey everybody, I'm looking for an invite to Pedro's BTmusic tracker, which has a great amount of music, I think mostly in lossless; a friend told me that it was maybe one of the best trackers for music... I had an account on Oink but since it's dead I can't really find rare music in good quality. I'm a music addict, and I really want to join that BTmusic... so could anyone invite me on that tracker? Thanks, Tim PS: I'm french, so sorry if you don't understand anything...!

Have a phenomenal day! I know that it's your day, but if you could possibly film yourself being injured, it'd really make it a special day for everyone.

I'm in my friends wedding at battery park this weekend. in Memphis airport right now with the GF. we have the rehearsal tonight, and the wedding tomorrow, but we'll have a smattering of free time this afternoon and tomorrow before 5:30. any recommendations for things to do/places for breakfast or lunch, especially in the general area of the Millenium Hilton @ 55 Church St, would be appreciated. thanks!

So far, for me, it's Ultraviolet -- most of y'all are going to hate it, but those who will admit to themselves that they enjoy watching a heroine kick some serious ass -- with guns, bullets and looks -- this is for you. Highly stylized looks (it appears that 29 out of every 30 frames have been airbrushed)...terrible CGI (I think Tron was better) -- but again, I think this was on purpose, since it's so consistent -- made to look like a comic book, perhaps?...total over-the-top violence (bullet-dodging)...Milla's naked butt...what's not to like? If you liked films like Equilibrium or Brotherhood of the Wolf, recommended.

I'm going there this fall for U of C's MA program, and I'm just wondering if anyone here knows anything about the neighborhood, like where it's good to eat/drink, which areas to avoid. Really, any knowledge is appreciated.
