Also, this is probably old news for a lot of you, but it's funny. I heard about it a couple of weeks ago, but forgot about actually going and reading the site until my boss reminded me yesterday. College student offers money to random person on AIM to write a paper on Hinduism for her. Random person, who turns out to be a sketch-comedy writer, agrees. Hilariously bad paper is sent, student never pays, student turns paper in to professor, and hilarity ensues, all chronicled in The Laura K. Krishna Saga.

Idaho legislature proposes official commendation of Napoleon Dynamite

A selection:

WHEREAS, Pedro's efforts to bake a cake for Summer illustrate the positive
35 connection between culinary skills to lifelong relationships; and
36 WHEREAS, Kip's relationship with LaFawnduh is a tribute to e-commerce and
37 Idaho's technology-driven industry; and
38 WHEREAS, Kip and LaFawnduh's wedding shows Idaho's commitment to healthy
39 marriages; and
40 WHEREAS, the prevalence of cooked steak as a primary food group pays trib-
41 ute to Idaho's beef industry; and
42 WHEREAS, Napoleon's tetherball dexterity emphasizes the importance of
43 physical education in Idaho public schools; and
44 WHEREAS, Tina the llama, the chickens with large talons, the 4-H milk

1 cows, and the Honeymoon Stallion showcase Idaho's animal husbandry; and
2 WHEREAS, any members of the House of Representatives or the Senate of the
3 Legislature of the State of Idaho who choose to vote "Nay" on this concurrent
4 resolution are "FREAKIN' IDIOTS!" and run the risk of having the "Worst Day of
5 Their Lives!"

Heh. Taxpayer dollars put to good use for once! But they got "bake a cake" wrong. Pedro BUILT the cake.
