...this, combined with a previous lack of consensus among members of the scientific community about whether there is a problem and what we might do about it if there was, seems to indicate that the theory of global warming--to use an inexcusably terrible pun--is washed up. This is a false, misleading, and terribly dangerous conclusion for the nation, and the world, to draw; and a fatal one should we choose it as the determinant of our future. The simple truth is this report provides us with the documented, undeniable proof that our behavior has significantly impacted worldwide climate...
...knew somebody was going to bring that up. [laughs] Uh, it was, you know-hard, in a way. No pun intended. [laughs] Seriously, though, people! It was just work, you know. I wasn't going into it thinking, "Okay, I gotta be a charming guy." I just kept thinking that this scene has got to be funny, and I didn't want to look like a bad actor. The hardest part of this movie was making the Leon and Julie thing work, because Leon is fake and Julie is real, and I just didn't think that people would...
...study coordinators admit spanking is a sensitive subject (no pun intended). Many parents are torn between carrying on their own parents? tried-and-true disciplinary practices and their discomfort with the idea of hitting their kids.

Water in the renovated dining halls now has a brand name, as the soda machines and the potato chips have had on a regular basis. And, of course, in the Harvard T stop, first cnet.com and now American Express have invaded, monopolizing the traditional advertising spaces, pasting posters to the metal beams and spelling out the product name across the turnstiles...
...working overtime to do just that. Besides his Web work (Still waiting for that pun! --Ed.), he's developing a new incarnation of Mighty Mouse for Viacom and executive-producing a summer movie based on the X-Men. But Lee has a bigger target still. "I know it sounds silly," he says, "but I hope we can make Stan Lee Media so big and prosperous that we can eventually buy Marvel." Silly? Last week his company's stock hit an all-time high, its market capitalization of $311.7 million eclipsing Marvel's $197 million. If The 7th Portal doesn...
