-- The Breasts of Sherry Glaser: The protest-y Miss Glaser's comedy and peace activism show runs the gamut from her unsheathed mammary glands to an interpretation of 9/11 and the Twin Towers falling down.

Meanwhile, Evil Signtist Courtney lauds Google for shouting out Louis Braille on his birthday. And Nivi asks that you "Donate to Wikipedia if You Love Your Mom." Alternately, donate......
