| Is That One 'Goo' or Two? |
That 'Goo' band is hot today, along with Rosh Hashana and the coming winter. For more details let's check... |
TODAY'S HOTTIES |
|
| |
| Goo |
The Goo Goo Dolls played a live concert on VH1 Tuesday night, setting off a raft of baby-talk searches for "goo goo" and simply "goo." (Score one for the power of VH1.) The band may not be pretty, but they're hot. If you've got the time for it, the Goo Goos are cited briefly in this amusing archived Suck story about the "new earnestness." |
| |
| Rosh Hashana |
Bring on the carmelized carrot tzimmes: the Jewish new year is here. If you're celebrating online, try the Rosh Hashana links from Gerald Hoch's remarkably thorough Jewish links page. We also have newsgroups for Jewish culture, Jewish cuisine (tzimmes included), and of course Jewish humor. Insiders can enjoy the jokey New Customs for Rosh Hashana, but "Get a jazz band to back up the shofar blowing" won't crack up everyone. |
| |
| Fireplaces |
Squirrels store nuts when autumn nears; humans, apparently, start surfing for fireplaces. Who'd have thunk it? It's not what you'd expect, but "fireplaces" is up quite a bit this week. Still, do you really want the web to light your fire? |
| |
| Stigmata |
The ad campaign must be working. The movie Stigmata opens today and user queries (as noted earlier) keep rising, even if E! Online's review says the flick "doesn't scare anyone."Special 'Stigmata' bonus treat: this family photo album from Tripod member Edward Goldstein, who happens to be a cousin of star Patricia Arquette. Don't miss the shot of a sullen Arquette posing with Uncle Louis and Grampa Joe. Also included: tiny snapshots of the Courtney Cox/David Arquette wedding. |

| Mystery Terms |
|
|
These terms are getting heavy traffic lately and we have no idea why:
Desi
Pest
Palsy
Reagan
Wha--? You'd think if something was happening with Ron Reagan, we'd all have heard about it. And "pest"? If you know the story on any of these terms, drop a line to the boards? You'll be glad you did.

Recent mystery terms solved:
LOBSTER: Seems to be buzz for the new Live Lobster Cam direct from the Lobster Institute (no foolin') at the U. of Maine. Thanks to reader Papersucks for that tip.
GRAPE: Alert reader Mark Micheli points out that wine season is upon us and amateur enologists are now online looking for information on the year's crop.
BARBIE is donating her knees to science, notes reader J. Levine. This seems the likely cause for her recent popularity.
