At the end of last nights episode of Lost (episode 19 of season 3), the promo guy said something about how "an end date had been set". Thinking this was just channel 7 garbage I dismissed it. But then got to thinking, so I decided to check the fountain of wisdom, Wikipedia. This is what I found:

In May 2007 it was announced that Lost will continue for a fourth, fifth, and sixth year, concluding with the 117th produced episode in May 2010. These three final seasons will consist of 16 episodes each, running weekly in the spring uninterrupted by repeats.

So, yes, an end date has been set, but it is quite a way off.

There is something missing in the cartoons of today. When I was young they used to mean something. They were entertaining and did a community service. Take 1980's classic He-Man for example. He busted up bad guys then at the end taught you a little life lesson. I'm proud to say that He-Man made me the man I am today.

I think there is something in there for all of us... don't you? He-Man is clearly a freaking genius, but I'm really not sure about his fashion sense. That bowl cut he sports has really got to go!

I finally caught the series finale of Heroes on the weekend. Have to say, it was all a little predictable... until they cut to 'Volume 2'! Basic summary (may include spoilers), stuff blows up, Sylar looks menacing without actually doing much, people narrowly escape death, a couple of people die, and then Hiro uses his constipation face powers to jump backward in time. Did that all make sense?

To summarize, Hiro is still my favorite, the finale was good without being ground breaking, and I am still looking forward to Season Two.

In any case, I thought it would be a good time to showcase this little nugget, fresh from my UK correspondent, Bean Bag Boy.

Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales was the latest target in The Chasers War on Everything. The Age have reported that Mr Ten Questions is still alive and well, and Jimmy Wales was his target.

Here's the transcript the Age posted of the questions that were posed to Jimmy Wales:

"Ah, Jimmy, um, look I just have 10 questions," Hansen said when he was handed the microphone during the question-and-answer session.
"First, how are you enjoying Australia?
"Second, how do our computers compare to the ones in America?
"Third, why does everyone in IT look so nerdy, yet you look like a daytime soap star?
"Fourth, Mac or PC - do you really give a shit?
"Fifth, there are 1.7 million articles on Wikipedia; how long did it take you to write them all?
"Sixth, Craig Reucassel's a bit unhappy with the photo on his page. Could you upload a better one maybe for him?
"Seventh, my dog is getting some scabs under his chin. I don't know if you can bring him in the number of a local vet?
"Eighth, Jessica Rowe and Peter Overton - will it last?
"Ninth, cracked pepper?
"Tenth, how do you feel about the fact that when I looked you up on Wikipedia this morning I changed your page to say that you were a teenage drug lord from Malaysia?"

If you haven't seen Mr Ten Questions before, he spits them out in quick succession, like a journalistic machine gun.

"Wales's nervous, confused facial expressions were a stark contrast to his typically dauntless demeanour, but he attempted to answer some. His responses were not delivered into the microphone and so could be heard only by those sitting at the front of the room."

Check out Dave Chappelle on MTV's Cribs. I want me a $2million chandelier made from the bones of chicken dinners that I've eaten over the years!!

MTV Cribs is an interesting show if you want to see how the rich and famous live. There are heaps of those luxury pools, pop-up tv's that go in the end of beds, in-door water features and what not.

I'm thinking that there is an opportunity for a spin off series though. I might pitch it to the network... MTV baby cribs. It could take you inside the homes of the rich and famous, to take a look at how their babies live. It would give the plebs a once in a life time opportunity to check out the diamond encrusted baby furniture and baby bling of star offspring such as Suri Cruise and the Jolie/Pitt brood.
