You want some links? Of course you do!

• Here's an interesting look at the career of Weird Al Yankovic (I always have to force myself to use his last name - to me, he's just Weird Al.) Is Weird Al still relevant in a time when anyone can creat a parody and upload it? What does Al have to do to perform his entertaining concerts? Those questions, and many more, are answered.

• If you're a writer, or even thinking of writing, you must check out languageisavirus.com. There are many links, ideas, idea generators, and much more.

• Cake Wrecks take a break from the bad and posts this really great Muppet Show-themed cake. Statler and Waldorf almost sorta like it!

• Finally, read Roger Ebert's touching tribute to Paul Newman.
