...that you probably never knew what to do with--and the lock snaps right into it. Loop the other end around a fixed object, and you're golden. Laptop locks are all pretty much the same, but Kryptonite makes the one with the thickest cable, the 8-mm Mega Key Cable Lock ($49). A company called Kensington also makes a cable lock for Palms, but it's a little cumbersome for anybody but severe kleptophobes...

Since then, Helen seldom ventures into the yard, even in daylight, without her 9-mm pistol. "I'm no racist. Why, I have a Mexican daughter-in-law," says Helen, 78, a stocky woman with the tenacity of a snapping turtle. "But we have a major invasion happening in this country, and nobody seems to give a damn...

...comedy needs a climax. Long before that, MM&I goes slack and desperate. And a chicken in a man's butt isn't all that hilarious. Maybe filmgoers need a lobbying group too: a Society for the Propagation of Promising Comedies That Actually Deliver on Their Promises. Care to join...
