First, some nostalgia. Who remembers Please Don’t Eat The Pictures? The only thing I really remember about it is that there was an Egyptian prince that had his heart weighed, and everyone was trapped in a museum. Well, I found it on Youtube if anyone is interested in watching it. Part 1 is here. Parts 2-8 can be found on this page.

Thanks to the Dalek found in a pond article, there’s now a fic challenge related to it.

For those interested, stubbleupdate and rabican agreed to an interview by Comicmix, over everything going on with scans_daily. You can read it here.

Robin Williams was hospitalized for chest pains, and is currently in ICU.

If anyone wants to vote in the fairy tale RPG poll, and they haven’t done so already, please go here. I’ll be closing the poll at 6 PM, CST. That’s around 6 hours from now.

In other news, after the people dragged away all the limbs and tree trunks that were in Nellie’s yard, her yard was a complete mess. She’s out of town to go to a sick relative again, so Dwight went over and raked her entire yard. When he finished that, he brought over a leaf blower, and got rid of all her leaves. When he was done with that, he mowed her yard, and then straightened anything that might have fallen over while the others worked.

For those keeping track of what’s going on regarding scans_daily being shut down, looks like there’s now an article about it over at Firefox News.

If you didn’t see the edit I made to the last post, there’s a group where people are going to find out what’s going on with scans_daily--it’s noscans_daily. schmevil posted links in this post that tell where the IJ syndicated feed is, more information on the group’s future, and what people need to do to help.

It looks like scans_daily was suspended from Livejournal for copyright violation. For those interested, the full story of what happened can be found here and here. For those not willing to read through the comments, it seems that Peter David got upset at seeing a few scans of his work, and complained to Marvel and Livejournal.

In other news, there’s another remake on the horizon. This time, it’s Clue. I’ve seen the Tim Curry version a few times on Soap Net, and liked it.

ETA: And thanks to dramagirl42 for pointing out that the Marvel legal team hadn't done anything yet, so it could have been someone taking advantage of the situation to pull something.
