By Gad, Sir! You're a Man Worth Knowing!

After a night on which the Wings and Pistons both lost, at least I can comfort myself with this headline, from the New York Times: Monkeys Control a Robot Arm with Their Thoughts.

Another solace was that last night we watched The Maltese Falcon, which is one of those movies that holds up to infinite viewings. Used to be I thought that the real knockout performances were from Lorre and Greenstreet, but the more I watch the movie, the more I appreciate Humphrey Bogart. L was quick to point out that nowhere in the movie does Mary Astor wear the dress from the movie poster.
