		<description><![CDATA[Every once in a while, I remember this movie I saw on TV a few times when I was a kid, but I can never remember what it was called. LazyWeb, help!  And while you&#8217;re at it, I&#8217;ve got another one.
Here&#8217;s what I can remember about the first movie:

		<description><![CDATA[Imagine you&#8217;re facing a wall that stretches forever off in either direction. We all know that the further parts of the wall look smaller than the closer parts. That&#8217;s called &#8220;perspective&#8221;. We tend to imagines lines of perspective aiming straight toward some distant point, but in fact they don&#8217;t.
Consider this image:

This is the first take of Weird Al and Donny Osmond in front of the green screen shooting the video. In the final video, you only saw a little [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rogers Cadenhead points out today that the title character of the TV series &#8220;House&#8221; bears obviously intentional similaries to Sherlock Holmes, thus the name &#8220;House&#8221;. And here I thought they&#8217;d called the show &#8220;House&#8221; because &#8220;Jackass&#8221; and &#8220;The Jerk&#8221; were already taken by movies. I can&#8217;t stand that show.

Here are lame, atrocious bills-
Bogus bills!
Of attempt at trickery, their stationery smells!
With a sneaky sneer of spite
How they seem almost alright!
To unlucky souls they say
&#8220;Here&#8217;s what you must pay, pay,
Send it soon.&#8221;
Cleptomaniacs appealing for the money of the crier,
It&#8217;s a bad, bad, bad extortion by a dull, unfeeling liar,
&#8220;Send by Western Union wire&#8221;,
Desperate measures they [...]]]></description>

II.
Read the moldy water bills,
Grimy bills!
What a world of drippiness their damp content refills!
Dew on barmy head alights
How the drippings give me frights!
From the liquid-schmiquid drops,
And my plugged drain,
What a limpid puddle plops
&#8216;Neath a turtle&#8217;s belly flops, while she floats
Through my brain!
Oh, from out the garden hose,
What a gush [...]]]></description>

I
Tear the envelopes, read the bills-
Stupid bills!
What a world of melancholy their advent instills!
Oh they stink, stink, stink,
In my icy grip of fright!
While the stars revolve, I think,
How the hell I&#8217;ll eat and drink
With my bank balance so light;
They are slime, slime, slime,
Those relentless billing grime,
With their total tabulation that so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One man&#8217;s junk
Is another man&#8217;s treasure.
I&#8217;ve laid out my junk,
So, what&#8217;s your pleasure?
I&#8217;ve got CDs
And videos.
You&#8217;ve got a new baby?
I&#8217;ve got baby clothes.
Here are some parts
From old computers,
And books on tape
For you commuters.
How &#8217;bout a loveseat,
Or a kitchen chair?
A waffle iron,
Or some silverware?
This fish tank&#8217;s still
In top condition.
I just got tired
Of putting fish in.
Need ski [...]]]></description>
