    An ad for some web show?

    On this weeks episode of Will & Grace, hilarity ensues when Will is caught in bed with his gay lover by Grace's visiting uncle! All starting on must see TV!

      Don't get too excited. The first hour of the show is taken up by eating all the Pringles before moving onto the demonstration.

    What, so you can drive off the road because you're watching the monitor instead of out the windshield? And we thought cell phones were bad.

    Some Slashdotters are just too damn cynical and conspiracy-minded.

    You say that to belittle our opinions, thus taking us off guard so that you can attack our beliefs.

    We're on to you.

    I've been to Seattle. They've got several wireless TV stations. KING-TV does a lot more than one program a month, as I recall, although the other network outlets may be more limited.


    I even heard from someone who was there more recently that they've now installed indoor plumbing in most of their larger public buildings. Someday I'll have to hitch up the wagon and go see if indoor is really that much better.
