I have to disagree. The fun part of Google Earth is zooming in and "flying" over the surface, zooming in would just make whatever you're looking at cover the whole world. I suppose you could project the shadow of US pop culture over the rest of the globe.
Imagine the surface of the Earth. Where is the center of the surface (no digging allowed). There IS none.
That's not 100% accurate. In our search for the center of the earth we're lucky enough to have a very powerful clue, i.e., gravity. A plumb bob points directly at the center of the earth. Of course, your comment is based on a 2-Dimensional creature, and gravity is working on that third dimension, and I'm no physicist, but couldn there not be some equally cool extra-dimensional force that would point us in the direction of the center of our 4 dimensional universe?
This is an event I try to catch from year to year, though this year I've decided not to watch TV so I missed it.
However, Cedric the Entertainer was very funny last year when he talked about the two sides of Condoleezza Rice. There's Connie, the self-assured and accomplished diplomat, and there's Doleezza who doesn't want to miss her shows on the WB and don't take sh*t from nobody.
That was hilarious.
The White House Correspondent's Dinner really is something worth recording every year. Lewis Black did one recently that was also hilarious (though not nearly as biting as Colbert this year).
I resisted knitting for a long time, but after my mother, my girlfriend and my sister got into it, I just couldn't help myself. I gave out 4 scarves last X-mas, and there are more in the works for this year. However, what this guy has done is completely and totally lame. What's worse, is that someone paid 5 grand for a hand-knitted aqua man costume.
What's the world coming to?
Oh, and I cook.

My fingers are crossed.
...am I the only one that read "Steve Balmer hysterically shunned big takeovers" in the summary?

Nobody saw The Island...
Adventure? Probots? Jedi crave not these things...
