Slashdot's Fortune program totally rocks!

It is not necessary to inquire whether a woman would like something for
dessert. The answer is yes, she would like something for dessert, but
she would like you to order it so she can pick at it with your fork. She
does not want you to call attention to this by saying, 'If you wanted a
dessert, why didn't you order one?' You must understand, she has the
dessert she wants. The dessert she wants is contained within yours.
-- Merrill Marcoe, "An Insider's Guide to the American Woman"

He's so damned right! I suppose I'd better read the Insider's Guide now
and see what other crap American Males are feeding themselves today.

Hmmm... After watching "Kill Bill" over again, I realized that the California Mountain Snake isn't venomous, and isn't a viper, much less a Deadly Viper. Instead, the California Mountain Kingsnake masquerades as a deadly coral snake, and had the additional property of being immune to the venoms of rattlesnakes, copperheads, and various other venomous snake breeds. As a predator of these other snake species, it certainly comes in handy.

Elle Driver is sent to kill a member of the Deadly Viper Squad, so the moniker of California Mountain Snake is apt. However, after viewing "Kill Bill II", such immunity to a prey snake's venom becomes the least of her problems.

Read all about the California Mountain KingSnake!

Why Quentin would choose to have a vipers' predator that's not itself a viper as a name for a member of his Deadly Viper Squad is probably reading way more into the movie then was particularly intended. However, it is in the nature of the compulsively detail-oriented to make note of such aberrations, with the full knowledge that such a realization is unimportant in the Grand Scale Of Things. However, I am irrationally compelled to mention it in spite of this understanding.

From today's Slashdot fortune:

The heaviest object in the world is the body of the woman you have ceased to love.
-- Marquis de Lac de Clapiers Vauvenargues

Funny... And I've been losing weight, too. But we musn't forget the old standby
that starts with, "Hell hath no fury..."
