...several news agencies confirmed Nam's identity. The trip could mark a potential split between Jong Nam, the presumptive future ruler of North Korea, and his poofy-haired father. In his collection of 20,000 videotapes, Kim Jong Il is known to prefer the high jinks of Daffy Duck to Mickey Mouse...
...visibility is an odd duck. It means that business has slowed to unexplainable levels. Executives have no confidence in whether the pace of new orders will slow further, stabilize, or pick up dramatically. That's typically when a company clams up--then it's "so long, comfort zone," and the stock jumps around. Last week web-design firm Macromedia forecast low visibility through the quarter, and its stock fell 22%. Others with vision problems include Ericsson, Nortel and Corning.

...fact, this duck-size relative of Tyrannosaurus rex, dating from 124 million to 147 million years ago, has no fewer than three different types of feathers.

The emphasis of the production is simplicity and providing the public with a concept of what fashion in Boston is right now and not to provide...
...well as awe-inspiring special effects; where the movie should really shine, is not only the imagery of flaming wreckage littering the Hawaiian landscape, but also the truly haunting sight of warplanes flying so close to the ground that baseball-playing kids and laundry-drying housewives must duck for cover. As the two leading men, Hartnett and Affleck (who character is ridiculously named Rafe) play childhood best friends who happen to be daredevil fighter pilots. They inevitably fall in love with the same woman (Beckinsale), although their romance must take a seat to a backdrop of terrifying destruction. An exploration...
