...Blue Mountain's whimsical missives don't strike your fancy, there are other sites worth visiting. The free E-Greetings Network egreetings.com offers animated Austin Powers cards ("Very Shagadelic!"), along with Star Trek- and King of the Hill-themed cards. Unfortunately, the site's obnoxious registration form requires personal data, such as year of birth and zip code, before letting you send a card.

It's rather demeaning when authors--or anyone for that matter--thump their superior wisdom at the rest...
...tourists had come to clamber through the miles of unforgiving forest inclines, hoping at the end of it to see a handful of the world's 600 remaining mountain gorillas at play. But something else lay waiting in the Ugandan mist. Shortly after dawn last Monday, 100 Rwandan Hutus, screaming and brandishing machetes and guns, raided three camps outside the Bwindi national park, where several dozen tourists were just waking.
