BOb
Gerard Butler was in that movie. Yum.


I'm reading Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, about thirty pages in, and I noticed two things:
1. McDuff (sp?) mentions he's working on software for Apple that takes financial data and turns it into music. The Professor says "Tunes?" and Richard says he'll have to remember that. Made me think about iTunes.

2. The comment about Greek ferry timetables. 20 years later and they still operate like that. Cracked me up.

That is all...
