Failure to supply South Africans without being registered means potential jail time (How they're gonna get you unless you come to South Africa is another story).

    Stephen King was just found dead in his Maine home. I just heard the news on the radio 10 minutes ago. There weren't any details. Even if you didn't read his books, he had a great cultural impact. Truly an American icon.

    In other, off-topic, South Africa news, this report about Bill Clinton's recent visit:
    Renée de Wet, the waitress who served Clinton, said he chose a calamari starter, followed by Norwegian salmon, garlic mash and mayonnaise. He had no dessert and no wine.

    Clinton was "very down-to-earth and friendly", De Wet said. "As he left he asked if we'd like to have a picture taken and we rounded up all the staff. He was just such a cool guy.

    "As he was leaving, he put his arms round a girl in his party - I don't know what her name was, she was small and dark - and said, 'Hey, take a picture of this for your local paper. This is my other wife.' "

    Meanwhile, he's accompanied by -- Chris Tucker! Geez, it's embarassing enough when Bono gets treated like a head of state, but Chris Tucker? Was Carrot Top unavailable?
