Monday Oddball Stuff

The World's Smallest Cow -- she's the size of a sheep! Swallow has had nine regular-sized calves, and is due with her tenth. Her size isn't the only unusual thing -- she also enjoys listening to BBC classical music.

A tornado...in Brooklyn?? The recent storm left a 14-mile swath of destruction...

Randy Quaid arrested AGAIN??  For squatting in a guesthouse he and wife Evi owned some years ago? This goes hard on the heels of the couple's previous charges, for not paying a $10,000 hotel bill and other mayhem.  I've admired this talented actor's work -- what in the world is going on?

Odd and gutsy -- Phillipe Croizon, a quadruple amputee, has completed a swim across the English Channel.

And one of the decade's most clever, absorbing movies: Inception. It's a meditation on architecture, a spin on Escher's work, an engineer's love of gadgets and gizmos...and a James Bond-style thriller on a group who can steal -- and influence -- your dreams. It will be out on DVD soon, but the real way to view this complicated, absorbing flick is on the big screen. (Little details and comments do matter, in this case.) I finally got Husband to go last week, with only a few people in the audience. He loved it; you will, too.
