a bit of odd stuff

First I wanted to mention that the Dance From the Heart benefit was wonderful! I'll try to get around to a full report later, but meanwhile I was sorely amiss by not posting about the 11th anniversary of Bill Hicks' death. He was a great man and a fantastic comedian who used his art to affect change as he could and point out the general stupidity of most of the sheeple in the world. He was a comedic pioneer. Everytime you hear a Dennis Leary bit, know that it has its foundations deep in Bill Hicks territory.

On Neil Gaiman's site I found a link to a place linking to the Bill Hicks Foundation for Wildlife Rehabilitation. The Bill Hicks Foundation for Wildlife is a non-profit organization of volunteers dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing orphaned, ill, and injured wildlife in and around the Texas Hill Country. Just wanted to pass that information along in case anyone felt like donating to a good cause. Check out the Rant Off fundraiser on March 3. I love living in Texas.

Also on Neil's site I found a link to a study that shows that British and American people smile differently. Very interesting. It also explains why everyone, male and female alike, love Angelina Jolie.
