Guess who's back .. back again ..

Good morning Hive, time to toss out a bunch of topics and see which gets picked up for further comment:

1. Pierce Brosnan is not coming back as James Bond and they are looking for a hot young actor to play him. (Let's see, million $ paycheck, hot chicks, cool gadgets and fast cars. Where do I sign up?).

2. After 43 years together it was announced that Barbie and Ken are breaking up.

3. What will be the unintended consequences of Comcast's acquisition of the Disney Corporation?

4. Microsoft Corp. has canceled the development of "Mythica," an online PC role-playing game centered in Norse mythology.

5. Has the "Knights of the Dinner Table" comic book "jumped the shark"?

6. There is no topic number six.

7. The Opportunity rover has a big weekend planned, with the vehicle expected to explore a patch of Mars soil that scientists hope will prove rich in the iron-bearing mineral hematite, which typically forms in water.

8. WB has announced that this will be the last season of "Angel".

9. The Philippines sealed a world record with a kiss on Saturday after 5,122 couples lined up in the capital to smooch for at least 10 seconds to celebrate Valentine's Day.

10. Will Jester47 ever tell the rest of us what he found?

1 - If they choose Ben Afleck (i don't care if I spelled his name wrong), I am going to weep.

2 - WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?! WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED!!?? AAIIIEEEE!!!

I doubt they would cast an American in the role. And I agree with you - I think Tinky Winky from Teletubbies would make a better Bond than Afleck (and at least he's British).

2 - WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?! WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED!!?? AAIIIEEEE!!!

Hasn't happened yet, and Disney is fighting it as a hostile takeover. Here's an article about it from the Washington Post.

Any other topics from the list worth talking about? I thought that Topic Six would get some interest.

First off, I hate Comcast. A lot.

Secondly, the very fact that they have 56 BILLION DOLLARS to blow is a dead giveaway that they are obscenely overcharging their customers. The bastards. I hope their headquarters is burnt to the ground in a freak 'accident' wherein only the company heads are trapped inside the building, slowly broiling to death. Arr. <anger>

Well, I for one was very upset to hear that Eisner screwed up the Disney/Pixar alliance, and they have been flubbing the running of ABC for years. Whether Comcast gets it or not, this should at least prompt some much needed changes. And I'm saying that as a Disney fan as well as a stockholder.

I have finally grown bored with my video games.

There are many upsides and downsides to this. But the upsides will not become as evident until the weather improves. Nyah.

On a side note, it sucks when the only way you can contact someone is via e-mail.
