This little gem was in my email this morning

It made me giggle:

"We here at The Quibbler have through extensive research found the true parents of Brian Williams, famous Squib reporter and news anchor of NBC News in America. We found that his parents were none other than Rita Skeeter and Gilroy Lockheart [sic]. It was long rumored that they had been together at one point and now we know. It also explains his reporting style. We hope to have more on this as the facts come out. The reporter for this story was Miss Information." (stargater69 on Yahoo!)

Countdown meme:

Day 10 - One person you can trust

2 things I wish I could do, one unselfish, one selfish:

1. Be dictator of the world for one week, after which I could vanish into obscurity but none of the things I would do could be undone. I'd spend the week ending wars, correcting injustice, and making arrangements to end poverty and disease. I'd get the advice of people I respected, to make sure there were no unnecessary side-effect of my meddling. (If I'm going to fantasize here, let's make it good.)

2. Win enough money so I could rent a resort in New Zealand and bring in all my LJ friends for a huge moot! All expenses paid in full for everyone. And I'd have enough to bring in our favorite LotR/TH celebrities for personal appearances! And when it was over, I'd still have some left, enough to retire on! (Probably have to be Publisher's Clearing House. I always forget to buy lottery tickets, LOL!)

One more day to go!
