.. that was *&%*ing depressing. Let's have a few lols.
Firstly, does this ring any bells? :D
The subediting prank wot got James May fired. :)
Victim uses remote logon to nab laptop theft suspect. Palpable!
Dr. James Wilson on speed
Take On Me: Literal Video Version
Aeroplane humour: cheeky responses to pilot "squawks"
Finally, I couldn't help smiling at this: The indignant shall inherit the world. I recognise fandom there... and also, uncomfortably, myself, a bit. :)

House S4 random Bible study lol
... finally arrived thanks to my DVD rent-by-mail thingy. Weirdly, House keeps reminding me of Jeremy Clarkson.

Something about this moment from S2 of House literally took my breath away. I can't put it into words (nor can I recapture it).

House
Whoever warned me that Season 2 of House is not as good as Season 1 appears to have been right - there's something missing, though I'm not sure what. It may be that there's only so much you can actually do with the idea, as Conan Doyle found out. Listening to House's lackeys discussing the morality of drugs in sport could not be less diverting. OTOH, Spin did feature Andrew from Buffy and House making this face.

Still slowly catching up on House. Just saw Three Stories, which was a knockout!

*antenna goes up*
House is cynical enough, and like too many smart people arrogant enough, to be taken in by the "30% of fathers aren't" myth about paternity. You'd think his understanding of statistics - crucial for medicine - would be better, but I reckon he picked that up out of Soaps Digest rather than JAMA or something.
That's the guy from Dead Poets, isn't it? Is the other guy Australian?
ETA: Lots of great bits, especially the poor kid's night terrors. Obviously ran under a little, though. :-)

House
Rented the first four eps to see what all the fuss was about. It's engaging and intelligent - sort of a cross between Sherlock Holmes (hence the name, I assume) and the ER column in Discovery magazine. I love how House's brusqueness removes what I call "Flintstoning" from scenes. In any other show, a scene where doctor confronts recalcitrant patient would have filled at least the first minute with "I'm told you're refusing treatment" etc etc, running on the spot with information we already have. House cuts straight to the point: "You're an idiot". The same scene would normally include a speech from House while the camera slowly zooms in; instead it's all fast repartee and the crucial message is conveyed in a couple of lines. Also, Hugh Laurie's American accent sounds extremely convincing to my admittedly inexpert ear. I'm impressed.
