• The newest internet meme to make the rounds is a short clip from a Japanese anime accompanied by a Scandanavian folk group singing in Finnish. Nota bene: Finnish sounds just like scat singing. (interesting discussion, as usual, over at MeFi)
• Ron Howard is feeling mopy about The DaVinci Code's haul of negative reviews. (currently sitting at 18% positive on the tomatometer)
• A truly awe-inspiring collection of photos from the submerged Ptolomaic-era city of Alexandria.
