Christopher Reeve, the actor who became famous for playing Superman in the 1978, 1980, 1983, and 1987 passed away last Sunday from complications due to his condition. After he was paralyzed in an equestrian competition in 1995, Reeve not only put a human face on spinal cord injury but he motivated neuroscientists around the world to conquer the most complex diseases of the brain and central nervous system. (from his biography). He played a hero on the screen and in real life.
Rest in peace.
Two new blogs by friends are online, joining classic’s such as Yosi’s Coffee&Concrete and Beavis’ Naked Funhouse.
First, Yan Kirsch has uploaded Greye (which means hemorrhoids in Yiddish). He updates the blog mainly from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico.
The other new blog is maintained in Barcelona by none other than the one and only Johnny Kings. Johnny is famous for his signature chocolate milkshakes and is Diego’s older brother (interestingly, Johnny’s last name is Kings but Diego’s last name is Reyes). His blog is El Turmeque (which means hemorrhoids in Catalán – although Johnny is really Colombian).
On the other hand, I’m very dissappointed at Aizik who hasn’t touched his blog since June 15. Shame on you!
Yosi Levinson‘s new blog is now online: Coffee&Concrete.
It now has the honor (shame?) of being a permanent link on the friends sidebar.
So, if you somehow end up here, click on that link and go read something more interesting.
I have refrained so far from any political commentary related to the war of Iraq. But an image has reached me straight from Baghdad that deserves to be shown to the world:
Have a great 5765.

Last Thursday, there was a company-wide party. That morning, they put a big jar full of M&M’s (regular, not peanuts) at the lobby of the Truchard Design Center. You were supposed to estimate how many M&M’s were in there. Whoever makes the best guess, wins a $50 Gift Certificate at Best Buy (and everlasting glory).Continue reading for details on the complicated process involved in this chocolatey adventure.
