+ Did you know that Sea Monkeys are amped-up sex maniacs? Or that Play-Doh was originally designed to get coal dust off walls? Mental Floss has a cool run-down of How Ten Classic Toys Were Invented.
+ An intriguing blog called Curious Expeditions has a wonderful post called Librophiliac Love Letter: A Compendium of Beautiful Libraries. In a complete clash of pop culture references, I can't help but quote Liz Lemon and say, "I want to go to there," when I see the Bibliotheque Nationale de France in Paris:
+ Did you know that Lucy Lawless is reteaming with "Xena" creators Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert for a new, as Variety calls it, "fantasy-fighting series" called "Spartacus: Blood and Sand." It's set to debut on Starz in January 2010. I'm guessing Ted Raimi will get clubbed by uncouth marauders by episode two.+ And finally, very sad news: Andy Hallett, best known as the otherwordly green lounge singer Lorne on "Angel," has passed away at the age of 33 from heart failure.

Andy was unforgettable as Lorne and it's a tragedy that such a promising young man has been lost at the age of 33. I'm watching the last episode of Angel today in his honour.
This is so sad! I loved Lorne. Andy was a fantastic actor and musician.
Oh! I had no idea Andy Hallett passed away. How sad! He did such a fantastic job on Angel. He was so talented....
I may or may not have shed a few tears in looking at those library photos. It's good to see proper respect of the written word.
