Table scraps:

♣FOR RSS LOVERS: This site has been RSS-capable for quite some time, but it hadn't occurred to me to actually make that link readily available. For your convenience, it's now featured on the bottom of the sidebar.

♣OY VEY! THE Florida Marlins focus their celebration of Jewish Heritage Day on first baseman Mike Jacobs -- a guy who, it turns out, isn't Jewish. Funny enough, the story cites Jewish baseball historian Martin Abramowitz as an expert, but doesn't mention that Abramowitz, who I've written about, made the same mistake once: He included a non-Jewish player in his first series of Jew baseball cards.

♣FUN VIDEO TIME: My friend Mike plays intergalactic colonizer. Steve Martin is The Great Flydini. The mentos-soda experiment gets extreme.

♣HOW DID IT take this long for someone to put two blue-footed boobies on a t-shirt? (via Not Myself)

♣THE MILITARY MAY be doing the grunt work, but it turns out that Newsweek was the one who actually took out the big guy. Way to go, guys!

♣THIS MADE ME laugh out loud: A student council president at a British school took some heat for a proposal called "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead," in which he wanted there to be a celebration when former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher dies. A band I love, Hefner, has a song called "The Day that Thatcher Dies," in which the chorus is, well, take a guess.

♣LEGAL SYSTEM ABUSE of the day: Some jerk is suing because, during his botched robbery of a store, the employees beat him up.

♣AND THEN, THERE'S this.
