Huge, huge thanks to the wonderful moominmuppet, who has become the first person to sponsor Days of Horror. Yay!

Tabs what need closing:

1. Members of Generation Y are the biggest users of libraries.

2. Look out -- it's the exorcist squad!

3. The Wii game I'm looking forward to next? No More Heroes. Anime-inspired swordfighting with ligthsabers, adult content, and (best of all) you save the game by going to the bathroom. Really -- check out the "Travis Bathoom" video on that page.

4. The Iowa Democratic Caucus Recap (written early, and still accurate).

5. R.I.P., George MacDonald Fraser

6. The NY Passenger Bill of Rights -- a bill saying that airlines should feed and provide toilet facilities for folks stranded on the tarmac for at least three hours -- goes into effect today. Needless to say, the airline industry, filled with executives who frequently masturbate to the notion of torturing their passengers, fought the bill tooth and nail.

7. Attempting to browse today's web using Netscape .09.

8. Wondering why David Cross ended up in the Alvin and the Chipmunks clusterfuck? Money. Which is the only good reason, anyway.

9. Kanye West and Beyonce play Connect 4! (Okay, so it's not exactly Vin Diesel, Karl Urban, and Judy Dench playing D&D.)

10. Finally, Laura Hudson's mom reviews Best American Comics 2007 (and relatedly, Ted Rall's latest column takes the piss out of BAC2K7 and the NY Times comics page, as well).

THAT VIN DIESEL STORY IS THE BEST STORY I HAVE EVER READ IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

5. R.I.P., George MacDonald Frasier

Boooo. He was one of my favorite writers (and The Pyrates might be my favorite book, period). I hope no one else starts writing Flashman books.

Just a nitpick, but it's Fraser, no I.

Thanks -- fixed it.
