Day: August 28, 2002

You learn something new every day. From Snopes.com: “Hence, pumpernickel is the ‘devil’s fart,’ allegedly a reference to the bread’s indigestible qualities and hence the effect it produced on those who consumed it.”

Yesterday, as I was pulling out of the parking lot at work, I saw a license plate on a truck in front of me that said “IFORNI”. It took me a couple of seconds to figure that out. I must remember never to cut this truck off in traffic.

According to Science Fiction Weekly’s News of the Week, CBS has recently “wrapped production on a new television movie that reunites the stars of the campy ’60s Batman TV series”. Adam West and Burt Ward will apparently play themselves, reenacting “behind-the-scenes drama of the Batman production”. I guess CBS realized that a reunion special would attract viewers, whereas the spectacle of West and Ward back in their multicolored tights would most definitely not.
