NASA finds ice on Mars.

Here’s the proof.

An alert and loyal reader sends in that inspired headline and this inspiring story from the Newark Star-Ledger:

The Xanadu megamall’s 18-screen movie theater, 800-foot indoor ski slope and skydiving wind tunnels aren’t open for business yet, but Gov. Jon Corzine couldn’t resist taking a look around yesterday.

Corzine walked through the half-mile-long, 2 million-square-foot complex with an entourage of state officials at the invitation of developer Larry Siegel.

Pravda headline:  “Alina Kabaeva: flexible body of Russia’s most famous athlete.”

Well, Russia’s most famous athlete since, well, Drago.

Five bucks says that after four glasses of Manischewitz at Seder, you’ll be seeing Klingons, too.

JTA:

Less than a month after the death of Charlton Heston, another of Hollywood’s great over-actors is taking center stage in the retelling of the Passover story.

This week the Jewish Music Group is releasing “Exodus: An Oratorio In Three Parts,” a dramatic biblical reading by William Shatner accompanied by the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra.

OK.  But shouldn’t he be singing it?

What else is happening on May 5 — other than another Mr. and Mrs. Extreme anniversary?

We learn this about the quite lovely and superbly talented Michael “Michael Silence” Silence at the Knoxville News-Silence:

For more than 26 years, my duties have been aimed at the print product. Come May 5, that’ll change. I’ll be moving to the editorial page to focus primarily on online. More specifically, this blog. I will also be doing a weekly column for the print product on blogs and blogging, and we’re going to play around with melding letters to the editor with online. Additionally, I’ll have some administrative duties with the editorial page but I will not be involved in editorial decision making. I’m delighted with the move and I like the way this newspaper has embraced blogs, bloggers and online. This move reinforces that commitment. Hang around. It should be fun.

Now, in honor of Michael Silence, please stand for a moment of silence…

Anyone know why this Wikipedia entry deserves recognition as the dorkiest one ever?
