ime for a few random things. First of all, the new Narnia trailer, Prince Caspian, looks great. It looks bolder than The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, which gently introduced audiences to Narnia. That would be properly consistent with Lewis's stories.

A study says that humans were nearly wiped out 70,000 years ago. That does not seem so alarming in fact of the more recent near-extinction of the human race, an event from which only eight people survived.

A small Welsh village church has applied for a license to sell alcohol on its premises. Sounds shocking at first, but for every negative concern I can come up with at least two positives. Bottom line: it's not counter to what the church should be doing, in this context, but it is something that could easily be turned into a problem. That's not something unique alcohol in churches by a long shot.

Beermenus.com is an excellent idea: it enables users to search for a beer and discover what establishments in their city sell that beer. The site currently only indexes New York City, and I can't wait for it to expand. Will the expand? If not, someone else will surely pick it up... like a Web 2.0 Craiglist for beers.

I want one of these. It's brilliant.
