Perhaps it's the numbing effect of living in a country whose cultural emblem is a statue of a urinating cupid, but it wasn't even close: Libidinous pursuits accounted for a feckless 1.7 percent of the million-odd calls to Scoot over the past five months, in marked contrast to the numbers typically racked up by sex searches on Internet-only systems. Besides pizza procurement -- the runaway winner -- other popular query topics up Waterloo way include travel and party locations. In other words, directions to Domino...
...1970s, where three clueless teenage boys try to make sense of rumored wonders: women, the Western world, adulthood. Their unlikely guide is the ultra-cool French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo, one of whose films is playing in a town 20 miles away on a river called Amur (Russian for Cupid).

In his butchier Titanic incarnation--where, of course, he has the added advantage of getting to die dreamily in the presence of his beloved...
...strongest performers of the night were 112, a southern R&B quartet with a mellow yet smooth sound, similar to that of Boyz II Men or Jodeci. Their harmonious singing left concertgoers wanting to hear more. The performance of their hit song "Cupid," complete with a shirtless group member playing the guitar, was the best song of the night--and the only one which displayed any significant amount of musical talent...
