History News Network has the Top 10 Myths About Thanksgiving.

The dogs all get prettier at cursing time.  Scott Adams has some thoughts.

TDavid looks at captchas and their effect on the number of comments.  My sense is that captchas on my blog reduced spam by around 80% and comments by around 20%.  I'll take that trade.

I liked Kill Point.  And like every other show I like, it got canceled.  Meanwhile, somebody somewhere is about to launch Dancing with 70's Era Let's Make a Deal Contestants.

If you've been sitting around wondering who owns the Yellow Pages business in Russia, Blognation has your answer.  To anyone who says Yellow Pages, I simply say Google.  I don't think I've opened a Yellow Pages book in years.  I've never been to an online edition.

Will Truman on pet fanatics (among other things).  Here's my thing with pets.  You have to hit the sweet spot.  I absolutely do not trust people who have no pets.  On the other hand, I am absolutely terrified of people who are obsessed with their pets.

Hi, Kent! I've learned my lesson about broadcast TV through your bloc. Even though I share similar tastes with you, if you like a show I refuse to watch it because it's most likely to get cancelled! :-)

Good to have Evening Reading back online.
