I picked up Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time for the PS2 this weekend, and it lives up to the hype. The plot of the game begs a question, though: In all of Middle Eastern literature, has there ever been such a creature as a good vizier?

No spoilers, but there's a character who appears early in TMR called "The Train Man", and I was trying to figure out who the hell he was. (For some reason, "Iggy Pop" was the first wrong answer my mind produced.) Anyway, I looked him up on IMDB; he was the Gyro Pilot! Cool.

Naturally, I went to see The Matrix Revolutions yesterday. I'm still of somewhat mixed minds about it; however, it did feel more satisfyting than the last installment, despite more unanswered questions than ever.

The Supreme Court is in rare form over a drug-posession case. So's Dahlia Lithwick.
