40. Yay, Dexter. I love him.
Michael C. Hall's lips are so pale compared to the rest of his body he looks dead. That's one of the reasons that he is so awesome. Please do not grow a mustache:


Hmmm....



Yes, yes, of course, Captain Jack Harkness for me. I'm glad there is going to be a Fourth Series of Torchwood. He saved all the earth's children, for crying out loud, he didn't want to kill his grandson, come on people already...

46. Ewwww... self-promoting, b.e.e.p.
... Egypt’s chief Egyptologist Zahi Hawass is under fire by local rights groups after he allegedly repressed and inhibited differing views within the government antiquities organizations. The recent upheaval over Hawass and the Supreme Council of Antiquities comes as researcher Ahmed Saleh proposed views that differed from the SCA Secretary-General’s and led to dozens of investigations, the Arabic Network for Human Rights (ANHRI) said in a statement published Monday.

ANHRI is also representing Saleh and has demanded a fair hearing in the face of what they termed “grave unfairness.”

Saleh told ANHRI that he was “alarmed with a series of investigations and announcements from Hawass in newspapers” that the researcher felt were undermining and ridiculing his work. According to ANHRI, the researcher proposed a new approach on how to deal with “some Egyptian antiquities, especially the mummy of King Tut.”

Saleh is a mummification specialist and has a Master’s degree in Egyptian antiquities.

ANHRI claims Hawass – who has become the poster-child of Egyptology worldwide with his cowboy hat – launched dozens of press campaigns against Saleh, after “Hawass would not accept a subordinate who is more knowledgeable, even if the researcher’s propositions are proved to be correct and for the good of the Egyptian antiquities.”... http://bikyamasr.com/?p=4550

55. Right now Jeff Zucker is my favorite TV character - badass villain on the Coco Show
and it's an old feud
NO JOKE: Jeff Zucker Had Conan Arrested http://www.deadline.com/hollywood/no-joke-jeff-zucker-had-conan-arrested/

It's just been brought to my attention that, while they were Harvard undergraduates, Jeff Zucker '86 called the cops on Conan O'Brien '85. (I never saw previous reports about this.) According to articles in both the Harvard Crimson and Yale Daily News, Zucker, then president of the university's Harvard Crimson daily newspaper, dispatched the police to the Harvard Lampoon office after O'Brien, who was president of the campus humor magazine, organized a prank on his college rival -- stealing an entire print run of the Crimson before it could be distributed.

"He only forgave me when I gave him The Tonight Show," Zucker told a Yale gathering back in 2005. The Harvard Crimson described the incident this way in a 2004 article about Conan landing The Tonight Show courtesy of Zucker: "O’Brien cut his teeth in comedy as president of The Harvard Lampoon, a semi-secret Sorrento Square social organization that used to occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine.

In fact, O’Brien first met Zucker, his current boss, one day when O’Brien and the Lampoon editors stole all the copies of that morning’s Crimson. Zucker, then Crimson President, called the police and met O’Brien face to face while he was being arrested." In 2001, Conan told The New Yorker this about the incident: "College pranks are supposed to be clever, but our rivalry with the Crimson had degenerated into us stealing something, Jeff calling the police, and the police making us haul it back," said O'Brien. (Other Lampoon pranks on Zucker included "a fake phone-sex ad with Zucker’s dorm-room phone number. Zucker did not find any of this particularly hilarious.")

So what's to glean from this Harvard history lesson? Yes, Jeff Zucker was a thin-skinned prick who didn't understand comedy or know how to handle creatives even back then.
