...also had Joel's Social Security number, the keys to the kingdom. Those digits would be enough on some websites to get me a driver's license in his name--and to start a full-scale identity theft. Before long, I could be ruining his credit rating, draining his bank accounts, and--well, you get the idea...
...whatever. Cats & Dogs is one of the most amazing feats in a summer that will be remembered for its computer-generated imagery in everything from live-action drama to animated comedy. Never before have so many movies owed so much to computer geeks.

And last month the state of Illinois acknowledged the landmark status of the Farnsworth...
BRIEF EXCHANGE Ever wonder what's underneath those Mickey and Goofy costumes at Disney World? Communal underwear, it seems. Magic Kingdom "cast members" just negotiated the right to wear their own skivvies, which they can take home and launder themselves. Under the old system, workers turned in uniforms each night, underwear and all, and got another outfit the following day. Some complained the undies were less than alpine fresh and gave them lice. Even at Disney, the world can get a little too small...
