Mini Me commits foul No. 1
It's a reality television moment that will live in infamy.
Two-thirds of the way through Sunday's 9 p.m. launch of "The Surreal Life" on VH1, Verne Troyer, the pint-size actor who plays Mini Me in the "Austin Powers" movies, urinates in the corner of a room.
In a scene that will surely get critics arguing - again - that reality television marks the end of civilization, an inebriated Troyer rides a scooter, nude, into a room at the "Surreal Life" house and oblivious to his surroundings, relives his bladder.

Microsoft Japan
This illustration cracked me up. The Microsoft Japan web site illustrates the threat posed by a vulnerability in MS04-001. The fact that the hacker icon has John Lennon sunglasses and a black watch cap put me over the edge. I’m sure every script kiddie out there will have new inspiration for their wardrobe.

High crime in Vatican City
The Vatican may he a holy city but it is also one of the few places in the world where crime, the worldly type anyway, apparently pays.
According to figures released on Saturday some 90 percent of crimes committed inside Vatican City -- nearly all of them petty thefts, pick pocketing and vandalism -- go unpunished.
Most of the crimes take place among tourists in St Peter's Basilica, St Peter's Square and the Vatican Museums.
