Fonts of misinformation
It's interesting what browser settings people working different sites use as their default for designing pages and other formatting issues. We've had debates in the past at work about how things looked on the site when the browser was shown on TV or on one of our bosses' computers (both had font sizes jacked up bigger than most people used). When things were close, we'd default to a pretty basic setting. However, they're a little bigger than what I'm used to using at home. Conversely, the layout, design, headline sizes, etc. on this site look perfect on my home laptop but are a bit goofy on my settings at work.

While those late night G.I. Joe cartoons are now off Cartoon Network, it's really cool to see Futurama repeats showing up on the network. At times, it was funnier than The Simpsons, although these early episodes showed how far the show had developed. However, I can't help but think Bender (must get one of those Bender toys) sounds eerily like Ron Santo.

Tick, tick, boom
I guess 24 is giving way to American Idol for a couple of weeks, but it's going away on a high note in the one of the more bewildering episodes I've seen in a while.
Some stuff was obvious. Who didn't see Sherry turning on President Cerrano? And of course, Jack's daughter was going to do something silly to get herself into more trouble, although she looked very hot doing so. Plus, they had to resolve the Jack-Nina hostage crisis quickly in order to move all the other plot elements along.
Some was out of left field. Annoying blonde bride was a killer and involved in the whole thing? What? I suppose some people could've seen it, maybe that stupidity and airheadedness was a great cover. Now the bizarro thing was the Michelle-Soul Patch "Hey, you wanna go out sometime" exchange. In the midst of a potential nuclear bomb, there is plenty of sexual tension in the air. Yeah, I guess so. Oh well, there was at least some realistic awkwardness in the whole exchange. Then again, I think we know what happens with interoffice romance at CTU.

It probably shouldn't have been too surprising that Willis McGahee went pro despite his injured knee. The only reason I'm surprised is that few people considered the possibility when he got hurt in the first place. The only person to say anything about it was Jason Whitlock, and it made plenty of sense at the time. The early money may not be there right away, but getting a third- or fourth-round contract, going on IR and getting proper treatment from pro trainers will mean something in the long run. The question is when a team is willing to make the move on a running back with a known knee injury. Much smaller injuries longer ago have killed some players' draft status in the past.
