-Robert has notified me that the new Muppet movie starts next Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving. Normally, I'd be there front and center for such an occasion but Thanksgiving in WalleyWorld takes some preparation. I'll have to get to a theatre soon though!
-Word on the internet is that Doctor Who may be coming to a theatre near you in the near future! The folks behind the Harry Potter films see the good Doctor as a perfect subject for their next endeavor and we may even see Daniel Radcliff in the starring role!

According to a news report, a certain private Catholic school in Brisbane was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom.
That was fine provided it was of a natural or neutral skin tone, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.
Every night the maintenance man would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back. Finally the principal, Sister Paschal, decided that something had to be done.. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine the yawns from the little princesses). To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, Sister Paschal asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required.
He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it. Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.
There are teachers.... and then there are educators.
Thanks, Catchie!
-In all the news I've posted lately about DC Comics recent revitalization there have been increasing reports of trouble at Disney owned Marvel Comics. Marvel for the first time in decades has seen their market share drop below DCs, a new owner, a shake-up in the leadership, significant layoffs and cancellation of several titles. This is too bad as I have recently started reading several Marvel titles. While I have found many entertaining, I do see where the Marvel universe is probably too big and unwieldy for a new reader to get a firm grasp of what is going on. That said, Marvel rules at the box office right now as this past summer saw not one but THREE Marvel properties on the silver screen and the super team The Avengers is on its way!
