Will there ever be a better comedy character than Peter Cook's Sir Arthur Streeb-Greebling?

Did Preston Sturges ever write bad dialogue?

Is it superficial to judge a font on the ampersand character?

How is it possible to pick Brad Mehldau over Bill Evans? Seriously, no matter how shallow one's knowledge of jazz, how is Mehldau not Evans Light? Is it his knack for picking hip drummers? or just the (admittedly cute) Radiohead covers?

Is there a stranger personal homepage in the world than the home of chess weirdo Sam Sloan? I'm afraid the combination of the tale of his Wild Icelandic Girls and the absurd MIDI track of "Born to be wild" can literally make you lose your mind.
