Table scraps:

♣EVER WONDER WHAT a car thief does in the car while driving it? I never did, but I enjoyed finding the answer: They scream like mad, act really cocky, and one even smokes some crack. This entertainment comes courtesy of BaitCar.com, which posts videos of police-baited cars with installed cameras. It's like a little slice of justice with whipped cream on top. Mm-mmm!

♣BALLSIEST PRANK AT a high school graduation? Quite possibly. Just turn up your sound and watch.

♣HERE IS THE really pressing question facing journalism today: How do you report a story about a man who dies while having sex with a horse?

♣YOU THOUGHT GOOGLE'S Earth program was cool? Just check out what it's got on the moon -- and don't forget to zoom in all the way.

♣HASIDIC JEWS MAKE some pretty interesting music -- well, when they're not doing all that praying and stuff. Check out hasidic-reggae Matisyahu's "King Without a Crown," and this great "This American Life" story about one man's transformation from traditional scholar to rock-n-roller.

♣A SNIFFER JOE?. Arise Jeff, No! Jane offers I. Those are mine, but what areyour anagrams?

♣I'VE FALLEN FOR this marketing gimmick: America Online has brought us the AIM Fight, in which you can compete against other AIM users to see who is on more buddy lists -- to the third degree. Not only is this embarassingly entertaining (especially considering how meaningless your actual score is), but it's fascinating to me because I just discovered last week that my old screen name, KNULPREK, still works. I lost it a year ago when my family cancelled AOL, but somehow it came back to life and, thanks to AIM Fight, I know people still have it on their buddy lists. So, does anybody actually update their lists? Seriously now.

♣AND THEN, THERE'S this.
