Decoy, your wife's cell phone called our office and I couldn't get through to her or disconnect, so I listened to her and the kids shopping in Wegmans for fifteen minutes.

Non-swimmer Davide Ceci, 14, was within minutes of death when dolphin Filippo came to his rescue. The friendly 61-stone creature has been a popular tourist attraction off Manfredonia in south-east Italy for two years. But now he is a local hero after saving Davide from the Adriatic when he fell from his father's boat.
While Emanuele Ceci was still unaware his son had fallen into the waves, Filippo was pushing him up out of the water to safety. Davide said: "When I realised it was Filippo pushing me, I grabbed on to him." The dolphin bore down on the boat and got close enough for Davide's father to grab his gasping son. Davide's mother Signora Ceci said: "It is a hero, it seems impossible an animal could have done something like that, to feel the instinct to save a human life." Filippo has lived in the waters off Manfredonia since he got gorged on tourist french fries, and became separated from a visiting school of dolphins.

News In Brief --------------------------------------------------------------------------------They Might Be Giants Behind The Music Episode Lacks Sex, DrugsNEW YORK--The new They Might Be Giants episode of VH1's Behind The Music is devoid of sex and drugs, sources reported Monday. "Man, we haven't had that much trouble finding something juicy since the 'Weird Al' episode," VH1 senior vice-president Bill Flanagan said. "We can almost always hit paydirt with a band's groupies, but in They Might Be Giants' case, they're all 31-year-old computer programmers." The They Might Be Giants episode largely focused on keyboardist/tubaist John Linnell's harrowing early-'90s addiction to Tetris.

Mrs Dr GB:
Someone just tried to sell me a Big Issue. But instead of the usual "Buy a Big Issue, Help The Homeless", this wench said to me, "Would you like an issue"? I'm like - I have issues. Thank you. Hello everyone.
(Wed Aug 30, 2000 - 9:14:09 am)

Myk Murphy:
i'm a bit frightened by the london vendors of the big issue. is that wrong? is that due to my bourgeois background? even worse, i have no idea what they print inside the big issue.
(Wed Aug 30, 2000 - 9:26:44 am)

Mrs Dr GB:
They are a bit scary. There's one that looks like Janet Street Porter, which can't be good. I bought it once. There was a poem in it that the vendor who trapped me had written, about a bird with ginger hair. "I wrote a poem about you! It's in this issue!" he hollered at me. That's what made me buy it. To stop the embarrassment. And of course it wasn't about me because I'd never been there before. But I wasn't going to discuss that with him.

For us ignorant folk... what's a big issue?
(Wed Aug 30, 2000 - 9:34:18 am)

Myk Murphy:
homeless folks sell the magazine on the streets of london. i guess it's a variety mag, but all i know is that it has poems about ginger birds. the "homeless as vendors" business model has been tried in the US, but i don't know if it was a success.
(Wed Aug 30, 2000 - 9:42:52 am)

Chewing Wax:
We never had "homeless as vendors" in Buffalo. Just "homeless as collectors of returnable bottles strolling around with stolen shopping carts". That seems to work well.

Mrs Dr GB:
On the subject of American homeless types, I watched David Blaine the other night (he really is a magic man. I believe in his power. I do) and cried when he turned the homeless bloke's coffee into a pot of money. Of course the bloke probably was just as desperate as hell for a drink and punched Blaine on the nose, but I thought it was very touching. But then, I am a girl.

when they turned the cameras off, did the guy get to keep the pot of money? i doubt it. magicians are bastards.

Mrs Dr GB:
Now, I like the guy in the Nasdaq adverts. You know that what he really wanted was the job of doing the voice-overs for film trailers: you know, "A brilliant young lawyer caught in a web of intrigue". He wanted to be that fella. But instead the only word he gets to say menacingly is Nasdaq.Hello.

Hello Mrs. I wrote a poem about you.

Mrs Dr GB:
I think I read it in the Big Issue, actually. It was very good.

Thanks. I was inspired.
