‪י״ב אדר תשס״ז * 2 March 2007: In memory of Templeton Trouble Tolman

Greetings.

Worthy cause of the day: “It's time to take on Fox”.

Note: Purim is Saturday night and Sunday! See The Orthodox Union’s Web-site for more information.

Today’s news and commentary:

• “Purim Joke”
  
• “Haman et al.”
  
• “Fact or Fiction?: Living People Outnumber the Dead”
  
• “Double Standard Watch: Rape as terrorism”

Barry wrote me this morning, saying:

I am sorry to report that our last rat, Templeton Trouble Tolman, was found dead this morning at the age of 3. Templeton was a very good rat and in honor of his memory I would like you to post something on your blog which tells about the great benefit rats have been to humans.

I sympathize deeply with Barry and his family on the loss of their rat. Unfortunately, in my magic weird thing of the day source folder I do not seem to have anything on rats, period. Today’s weird thing is therefore something I hope Templeton would have appreciated, cheddarvision.tv » Live Cheddar Cheese direct from the Westcountry ». Enjoy this weird thing, share the weirdness with the rats in your life, and Shabbath shalom.
