Excerpt from a film review on "Little Red Riding Hood" (No Stars)

"Catherine Hardwicke, fallen so far from her Lords of Dogtown days, crashing through the roof of the Twilight franchise to land in this steaming pile, brings us the worse interpretation of this well-known fable to date. Valerie, played by a vacant Amanda Seyfried, is a girl with no personality from an indeterminate time whose plywood set of a village is being stalked by a werewolf. Her fellow townsfolk are amazingly ignorant, ignoring the warning quite literally shouted at them by the one-note villain Father Soloman (Gary Oldman, who I can only assume lost some kind of bet)..."

Thought for the day:

The news reports said that the UN guards who were killed in Afghanistan last week were Nepalese, but didn't say that they were Gurkhas. Whose mistake was that - the news reporters for getting it wrong or the UN for not hiring the right Nepalese?

Here's one to cheer you up, Yuri:

The commanding officer at the Russian military academy (the equivalent of a 4-star general in the U.S.) gave a lecture on Potential Problems and Military Strategy. At the end of the lecture, he asked if there were any questions.

An officer stood up and asked, "Will there be a third world war? And will Russia take part in it?"

The general answered both questions in the affirmative.

Another officer asked, "Who will be the enemy?"

The general replied, "All indications point to China."

Everyone in the audience was shocked. A third officer remarked, "General, we are a nation of only 150 million, compared to the 1.5 billion Chinese. Can we win at all, or even survive?"

The general answered, "Just think about this for a moment: In modern warfare, it is not the quantity of soldiers that matters but the quality of an army's capabilities. For example, in the Middle East we have had a few wars recently where 5 million Jews fought against 150 million Arabs, and Israel was always victorious."

After a small pause, yet another officer - from the back of the auditorium asked, "Do we have enough Jews?"

You'll be gratified to know that I heard that one in Russian. A great example of Odessa humor.

There was also one from the 60s that I cant remember in its entirety but the punchline was that China won the 3rd World War after 50 million Chinese surrendered and Russia ran out of places to put them all.

Accident: Atlantic Southeast CRJ2 near Little Rock on Apr 1st 2011, bird strike

An Atlantic Southeast Airlines Canadair CRJ-200 on behalf of Delta Airlines, registration N845AS performing flight EV-5087/DL-5087 from Atlanta,GA to Little Rock,AR (USA) with 49 people on board, was on approach to Little Rock about 15nm east of the aerodrome when the airplane collided with a flock of cranes. The crew climbed back to 4000 feet, overflew the airport before safely landing at Little Rock about 30 minutes later. The airplane received substantial damage with a crane embedded in the nose cone.

Arkansas frequently sees Whooping Cranes (Grus americana) and Sandhill Cranes (Grus canadensis), adult bird weighing up to 17 lbs/7kg with a wingspan of up to 8 feet/2.5 meters.
