This idea came to me at some point yesterday, but, as often is the case, I fear someone must have thought of it before me. Can anyone demonstrate prior art?

If you’ve seen this before, I’d really like to hear about it.

Update: Yeah, this has been done before. I do think my choice of photos was was better, but hey, that’s not what counts.

Howie Mandel vs. Penn Jillette on Faith.

or, How I Missed Out On $1,000,000 On Deal or No Deal (2:41 MP3 from Penn’s (awesome) radio show.)

This is a really great behind-the-scenes story by Howie involving a contestant’s Faith, which of course culminated in Penn railing about his particular brand of militant Atheism. I think Howie countered Penn rather well, coming out on top.

EDIT: Spelled Howie’s last name correctly this time and added a little bit more of a description.

EDIT again: fixed typo. Posting first thing in the morning is a bad idea, apparently.

The following is a public service announcement for other Olympics-challenged individuals such as myself.

Apparently there are now two famous people with the name Sasha Cohen, one spelled with a C, one without.

This is Olympic figure skater Sasha Cohen. You may have heard something about her falling on the ice during competition or somesuch. Now if you were me and you heard that, it would have confused the heck out of you, because:

this is Sascha (Baron) Cohen. He is not only not a figure skater, but probably wouldn’t pass the mandatory drug testing required to be one. Chances are pretty good that he is tight with those Jamaican bobsledders though and really, he wouldn’t have any more room ‘round his neck for any additional gold medallions anyway. Check it! Jah.

I’m sure by now you’ve heard the story of Lindsay Lohan’s breakfast adventure at Bryan Adams’ London home.

However, according to my anonymous source, the official story is omitting several details. First off, there’s the quickly mentioned fact that Bryan Adams wasn’t even in London at the time. Then there’s the laughably specific information as to what they were having for breakfast; the only time someone gives that much information is when they’re lying. You don’t say “I cooked breakfast, you know, with eggs and everything… and bacon, and, um toast” unless you don’t want people to know what you really had for breakfast.

So why be quick to point out that the only concievable male to be in the house isn’t there, and lie about what you had for breakfast? Simple: there was a famous male in the house, and he has very specific tastes when it comes to women and breakfast foods.

Here’s a photo sent to me by an anonymous source, taken in a park near Bryan Adam’s home on the evening before Lindsay’s emergency hospital vist.

Do you still believe the story that Linday’s mom has been feeding the media? I sure don’t. Do you think maybe Charlotte Church is jealous of all the attention Wilford is lavishing on Lindsay, and it is she who sent me the photo? I think it is most definitely a possibility.
