I hope you are enjoying your visit to Off On A Tangent. We like to post the best new links on the Internet for you. Links that you haven't seen before. Sometimes you'll see new sites that are a waste of time like Kathicam.com. We do not provide links to silly web sites like Kathicam.com. Kathicam.com is a total waste of time. Kathicam.com entices you to visit her web site with promises of live pictures. She writes stupid poetry like, "Sports can make you wear glasses". Do not go to Kathicam.com. If you go to Kathicam.com all you will get are thinly veiled promotional statements to get you to go visit espn.com. Don't go there either.

Here Kitty Kitty. Wait! No! DO NOT GO NEAR THE POOL! AAAAARGH!

Should your cat fall into water by accident, some symptoms of drowning are: gurgling noises, gasping for breath, clawing wildly, or gagging - even if the cat is already out of the water. To resuscitate your cat, place him on a flat surface, open his mouth, pull the tongue forward, and clear away any debris in his mouth. If he's still in distress, hold him by his hind legs and gently swing him back and forth in an attempt to clear the water from his lungs and stomach.

Teddy Tenenbaum is writing the script for a Land of the Lost movie:

"Teddy Tenenbaum originally played Augustus Gloop in "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." Since that time, he has been trying desperately to repair the image of German children. He spends much of his time at Bavarian fat farms for youngsters, leading the little schnitzels in rousing renditions of "I am Woman" and playing exciting games of chance where the rewards are marzipan Oompah-Loompahs ("How ve love to bite zeir little heads off!") and the punishments are midnight jogs in the wolf-infested Black Forest. He would like to thank his wife for supporting him through the difficult Jenny Craig years and God for not smiting him."

I'm happy because I made my first sale on ebay.

Now you can own Qui-Gon Jinn's lightsaber

The lightsaber is the weapon of the Jedi, and is also used by the evil Sith. It has been described as an "elegant" weapon, since using a lightsaber requires great skill and talent. Only those that use the Force are able to use a lightsaber properly.

During production of "Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace", the Prop Department crafted a number of lightsabers for Liam Neeson to use as his character, Qui-Gon Jinn. When the saber is not in use, the lightsaber handle hangs from Qui-Gon Jinn's belt. When activated for battle, the blade appears. While filming the movie, Liam Neeson used this lightsaber with a brightly-colored rod attached. The rod was later replaced for the final film with a brilliant glow by the digital animators at Industrial Light & Magic.

Joe Lavin finds a golden dollar

I ended up at the US Mint's web site, which offers free shipping on all golden dollars. It sounds like a great deal, but there's only one problem. The Mint is selling a roll of 25 golden Sacagawea dollars for -- get this -- $35.50.

We all thought it was pretty funny that the company that made the chopsticks we got at lunch was called Well Luck Co Inc.

Good luck to them.

Want to get a good deal on a laptop? Read the computer ads very carefully. If you buy a laptop computer at Circuit City, it costs you $799.99 after rebates. A savings of $600. That's because the original price was $1,399 less a $400 Compuserve Rebate less a $100 Circuit City Bonus Mail-In Rebate less a $100 Instant Rebate, which gets you to $799. Now you are locked into a 36 month contract with Compuserve at $21.95 per month which equals an additional $790.20, after 3 years. So after you pay $799 and add the Compuserve price of $790.20, you have paid $1,589.20. That's $190.20 more than the original list price. Oh yeah, the $100 Mail in rebate is a credit in the form of a Circuit City Merchandise Card.
