* Here's an article where scientists are concerned about rising sea levels threatening island and coastal cities. Before anyone gets too upset, I'd first check with Gilligan, and make sure he's not just tying his fishing traps to the Professor's measuring stick, and moving it to deeper water.

* Should Dan Marino make the Hall of Fame?

* Something Peoplesoft workers have to look forward to... Oracle will announce Peoplesoft layoffs on friday! Ouch.
