Odds and Ends

• You HAVE to check out this tour of the 3,600 square foot tri-level library of Priceline founder Jay Walker. It includes a Sputnik satellite (yes, THE Sputnik), a book bound in rubies, a napkin that FDR used to outline his plan to win World War II. This place is amazing:

• The deleted scenes from Season 4.0 of "Battlestar" have hit the internets. They answer a few interesting questions, like where the hell did HeadSix go and what's up with Boomer and Creepy Cavil.

• Leave it to James Gunn to create PG-rated porn...starring Nathan Fillion.The first episode, called "Nailing Your Wife," is funny in a really, really sick way -- just like every other thing James Gunn has ever done. This might be mildly unsafe for work if your employer doesn't like bad double entendres and synthesizers.
  

• And if you need more Nathan -- and let's face it, who doesn't? -- here's a preview of his upcoming ABC series, "Castle." Here's hoping it doesn't get canceled before it airs. C'mon, network television, give Nathan a chance to be awesomely Canadian on something other than DVD:

• Mark your calendars now: Oct. 26 is World Zombie Day. Go here to check and see if your city is hosting a Zombie Walk for charity. Also food drives...hopefully not with brains and such. Ew. I mean, aaaarrrrgghhhh.

• And finally, if you haven't voted for The Park Bench in the Blogger's Choice Awards, there's still time. Just 50 votes could get us into the top 15! In the immortal words of that creepy U.S. Olympic gymnastics coach Bela Karoly, "We can do it!" A huge thank you to those of you who've already cast your ballots.
