Buddhist, Catholic, Anglican – whatever the denomination, nuns are awesome. Especially Zhang Tingting.

Enterprise: Bringing new meaning to the word “gratuitous” since 2151. It’s almost enough to make you long for the sexlessness of Voyager.

If I had a million dollars
I would buy you a monkey
You always wanted a monkey
–The Barenaked Ladies
Is there anything cuter than a baby monkey? How about a baby monkey wearing a diaper?
I know it’s weird, but lately I’ve developed a Cuteness Fetish for pictures and videos of lil’ baby monkeys. Maybe it’s a maternal instinct gone awry, or maybe I’m going backward on the evolutionary scale. All I know is that little capuchins and mangabeys are right up there with kittens and pandas on the squee-inducing scale. Luckily, YouTube’s a …

Let’s get one thing straight: those disturbing, hoodie-sporting rat-creatures to your left are not Alvin and the Chipmunks. They will never, in any universe, be Alvin and the Chipmunks. The Chipmunks did not rap, nor did they emulate gangstas, sing crap put out by the Pussycat Dolls, or chant “Bow-chicka-wow-wow!” at Dave when he was on a date. They were cute, wholesome-but-mischievous furry little dudes who sang high-pitched, sped-up versions of classic rock songs. They had fun adventures, they got in trouble when they messed up, and they were Dave’s …

Fans of Star Trek’s Original Series know that Kirk’s chest possesses special powers all its own. When it’s exposed, he can defeat any enemy, seduce any woman, and escape from any sticky situation. But fabric, simple fabric, seems to be the Chest’s kryptonite. Somehow, though, Kirk manages to lose his shirt more often than a defenseman on a minor-league ice hockey team on Kronos, ensuring that the crew of the Enterprise will always have Pectoral Power on hand when they need it.
Either that, or the producers wanted to spice the …

Outlaws of the Marsh, awesome as it may be, is basically a man’s book. The primary relationships it describes are brotherly (its alternate title is All Men Are Brothers), and women, when they’re not relegated to the sidelines, are portrayed as lustful, catty deceivers who betray the men who rescue them. Twice in twenty episodes the same storyline is repeated: good man marries poor beauty, only to have her cheat on him. He forgives her and even offers her a no-strings divorce so she can be with her lover, but …

Once, I helped out at a church daycare, looking after eight one- to two-year-olds while their moms were at Bible study (translation: coffee and chatting, though, after learning how active toddlers can be, I was happy to help those moms get a break). One week, a woman who usually watched over the under-ones came to assist me and the (wonderful) homeschooled teenager who was my partner-in-toddler-wrangling. And she was absolutely horrified that we did not wash all the toys and spray them down with Lysol after the kids went …

That wedding video that’s become a YouTube sensation has been spoofed by a group called NY Video Production. It features the bride and groom, along with various lawyers, secretaries, cops, and a judge, grooving their way into divorce court to the tune of — you guessed it — “Forever.” The parody’s spot-on and pretty funny. Check it out:
