The blurb at the end of this TV Guide Online News page describes the chance to become "made," and be part of The Sopranos, as "The show will hold an open casting call for Italian-looking men and women over the age of 16 this Saturday in New Jersey." Thanks (fugetaboutit) jwsimms. Also, word from a few Brits corrects my moment of song yesterday, pointing out that Channel 4 is not actually part of the BBC, but that's not going to quell my joy in the sound of music ("BBC once, BBC twice!...").

Link of the Day: The Egely Wheel. Thanks Ian.
Story of the Day: Carnivorous Robot Is Born. And remember, Soylent Green is people! Thanks Bob James.
Bonus Story: Girl, 16, Glues Boyfriend's Penis to His Body. Thanks theAntiELVIS. As tAE points out, "More proof that girls mature faster than boys."
