I always use the Ed Asner test for my personal beliefs. That is, if I accidentally agree with Ed Asner, I go back and check my math.

Welsh is currently a language for Bad People of the Past, but it's making quite a comeback (ok, mostly in small sheep-herding communities in lower Snowdonia, but still). Be one step ahead of the curve by Teaching Yourself Welsh!
Welsh is one crazy language, like instead of having normal vowels like a,e,i,o,u and-sometimes-y they've got a,e,i,o,u,y and-sometimes-w. And those crazy Cymraegs really go wild over double letter-- one "f" is like a [v] (brackets are how Linguists say "the sound not the letter") in good ol' god-fearing English, and you need "ff" to make an [f]. Two l's get you a crazy [th]-like sound that I think must be a semi-palatal alveolar lateral fricative, but sometimes I think it's closer to a retroflex dental fricative... and don't even let me get started on the dipthongs...
Mae llawer o bethau yn y wers 'ma, so chi i gyd should check it out...Ewch! Or you'll be stuck saying Dydw i ddim yn deall all the time once the Welsh have reclaimed the earth!

WKRP in Cincinnati aired from 1978 through 1982. Howard Hesseman played Dr. Johnny Fever, a DJ from Los Angeles who was fired from his previous job for saying the word "booger" on the air. In the show Hesseman would do some dialogue, introduce a song, and start the song. You'd hear a few notes, but never the whole song. (More...)

Clowns Take on God in Mysterious Annual Ceremony
Last Sunday's (the 6th) Grimaldi Service at a small church in East London was a red-letter day for clowns worldwide. About a hundred old-school red-nosed clowns made the sombre trip to darkest Dalston to pay their respects to clowns who died in the last year and to thank God for the gift of laughter in a bizarre ceremony presided over by the eccentric Reverend Clown Roly, resplendent in a garish red lumberjack shirt with oversized gold lapels.
