    MAD's Star Wars Parodies
    MAD is famous for its spoofs and parodies of TV shows and movies, and Star Wars was not exempt from it.  After a particular Star Wars parody, both Dick and Mort Drucker received a letter from George Lucas himself, saying that there should be an academy award for satire, and Dick should get one for writing while Mort Drucker should get one for drawing.  Two days later, MAD got the usual demand letter from Lucas's attorneys.  In reply, Bill Gaines enclosed Lucas's letters, saying, "Well, George likes them."  They never heard from the attorneys again.

    Kodak W1020 Digital Picture Frame
    John Jobst recommends the Kodak W1020 Digital Picture Frame which he got from Dell last year.  Not only has it got Wifi, and can receive photos from friends and relatives via email, it's also compatible with FrameChannel which gives you channels of news, weather, traffic, sports, financial data and so on.
