You can also call it “Arial Serif” if you like, because Arial and Helvetica are the same thing.

Thanks, Rochelle!
I’d like to thank Rochelle for inviting me and Wendy to her family’s Passover Seder this past weekend (and her dad for kindly sharing his brisket recipe). Both the food and the company were excellent!
As a special “thank you” to Rochelle and her family, I present the Saturday Night Live skit from 1992 featuring Jerry Seinfeld as Elijah:
(Like the Seder we had at Rochelle’s parents’ place, the Seder in the skit has some Filipino content — Rob Schneider is partially of Filipino descent.)

Five of the six major airlines in the United States plan to start charging coach passengers as much as $25 next month to check a second bag, the latest move in their quest to offset high fuel prices.
In case you were wondering, here are the airlines who’ll be charging a $25 fee for a second checked-in bag:
- Continental
- Delta
- Northwest
- United
- US Airways
AirTran will also be charging extra for a second checked-in bag, but they’ll only be asking for $10.
I can live with this fee; what really bugs me is airlines charging for seats with reasonable legroom, as United does with their so-called “Economy Plus” seating. At 5′ 11″, I’m average height for a North American, yet I have to fork over $65 for a seat where my legs won’t be pressed against the seat in front of me.
Pictured below is a device branded as “Cure Sleepiness Right Away”, which fits over your ear and lets out a piercing beep when your head tilts forward. Near the bottom of the package, it says:
Especially suitable for long-distance driving, drunk driving and night driving

You can see the device in action in the episode of Kenny vs. Spenny shown below, in which Kenny and Spenny’s contest is to see who can stay awake the longest. The device appears at the 2 minute, 44 second mark:

I work just south of Chinatown, where I saw this t-shirt on sale on Friday:
Odd as Engrish can be, it usually makes at least some sense. Whoever made this shirt wasn’t even trying.

Why I’m a Good Movie Date
I provide at least as much entertainment as the movie itself:
(By the bye, we saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall last night and it was pretty entertaining. Perhaps not as memorable as other Judd Apatow-produced films as The 40 year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up or Superbad, but still fun.)
