This restaurant at the airport struck me as a good title for a sequel to a poorly dubbed martial arts movie with vaguely supernatural themes.

Sometime in 2007. The best comedians always bring it back to the beginning at the end.

Found this gem on Digg, on MONSTER-MUNCH, which is definitely going into my feedreader.

But not quite. Boris writes about the lack of Olympics video embedding:
I wanted to embed some videos of Olympic events on my blog, but unfortunately NBC has been shutting down videos all across the Internet for copyright infringement. Instead of making content embeddable everywhere, they choose to keep it in their silo. I should be able to easily share any piece of Olympic content to my friends on Facebook or on my blog. I should be able to find any Olympic video quickly on YouTube. Unfortunately that’s also not possible.
This seems like such an obvious thing to enable that I wonder if they fired the person who decided to put the Olympics online in the first place (a Very Good Idea). Not only that, but they’re shutting down any other Olympics videos on YouTube or similar sites for copyright infringement; i.e., there’s no possible way to legally share the Olympics. Even branded Olympics!
