    Power out across East Coast and Canada

    I have to say, this is one of the most, uh, interesting stories I've heard. Detroit, Cleveland, parts of Canada, and of course New York, just suddenly losing power? Not a tragic story, thankfully, but it was weird seeing Times Square, Empire State Building, Lower Manhattan, and the rest of NYC...

    As for the Chaplin studio, the only thing they seem to use it for is the Henson Recording Studio, which seems to get a lot of use. You're right, they don't really need the studio, but it must be goooood to look at.

    Gregory Hines Dead at age 57

    Yeah, I heard about it just flipping through the channels and saw it on the "Fox Report." I was pretty surprised I have to say, and it seems like we're losing an icon or two every other week. Heck, this summer we've lost Gregory Peck, David Brinkley, Katharine Hepburn, Buddy Ebsen, Barry White...

    Sad news in the UK...

    Ditto. VVVERY nice, Luke. Need to explain the EM.TV saga to someone and can't say it without having a lunch break? Hand out this article. And it does have a good perspective about what Henson should do next. Once again, good job Luke. :zany:
