POPSThe Seven Sweetest Fictional Theme Parks Pt 1 (#7 - #5) Cartmanland, Horrorland from Goosebumps, and the Granddaddy of all fictional theme parks: Westworld! Part 2 gets better with Wally World, Thrill World, Itchy and Scratchy Land, and I am not going to tell you what Number One is.... Not even a hint.... I personally love theme parks and have been to some of the best: Disneyland, Six Flags, Magic Mountain, Knott's Berry Farm, Raging Waters, California Adventure, Busch Gardens, Universal Studios California, Palisades Park, and Astroworld... and the biggest of them all - Las Vegas! But if you like sci-fi or adventure thrillers pick up Dream Park by Larry Niven and Steven Barnes (or the 4 or so sequels), Utopia by Lincoln Childs, or Futureworld by Phillip J. Farmer. You will love them!

POPS"Disneyland" Comes to Baghdad Part of Reconstruction is distraction. It has worked well in the U.S. since the Civil War. It seems real insulting to the average Iraqi that there is "a shortage of entertainment" when they are struggling more for clean water, proper sewage, food, and infrastructure that has been destroyed by the U.S. invasion.

POPSZapa - cement company with a soft corner for kids One of the many amusement-park-like cement works of Zapa Company, in the Czech Republic. It has managed to become not only one of the most successful eco-friendly companies, but also endeared itself with children....not an easy task for such an industry!

POPSCruel Women From Celtic Mythology by A. Cotterell: "The enchanted forest of Arthurian legend was alive with beguiling fairy maidens, who often taunted errant knights. One such, La Belle Dame Sans Merci, was a banshee who attracted mortal lovers for her own amusement. inspiring them with a hopeless infatuation and then leaving them bereft of will of purpose until they withered on the lake, 'alone and palely loitering.' As the languishing knight here sleeps, he dreams of the pale kings and warriors whom La Belle Dame 'holds in thrall' (ref. to last image, same site)

POPSScriptures are now an amusement park attraction How sad it is to once again see the sacred word of God being depicted as an amusement park attraction. Once was not enough now apparently it is fashionable to create amusement parks in the name of Christianity. I guess this really should not be so surprising considering a good bit of televised religion is nothing more then infomercials and religious entertainment anyway. Perhaps the churches should start charging admission to get inside to witness the great adventures of God up close and personal. Why not just turn the church houses into museums or tourist attractions?

POPSBill Maher is losing his edge! Maher's lost it While I was watching last Friday, I kept wondering WTF...why is he letting these jazzbos get away with that? He just sits there with a dumb look on his face. I kept hoping he would say something--but no. Maher's definitely lost his edge and I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw it...I thought it was me. I should trust my own instincts more, neh? Hey Bill, if by some odd chance you are reading this---WAKE THE FUCK UP OR GET OFF THE TUBE! a useta be fan... However, Matt Taibbi was great...his amusement of the panel's idiocy and sharp comments were the only part of last week's show worth watchin'. But then Taibbi's alway wunnerful.
