Today is the 25th anniversary of the passing of Elvis. God bless our friends in England; apparently you can bet on whether or not Elvis is really dead.

To mark the anniversary, Salon.com takes a look into the world of Elvis fanatics. The cynical, sarcastic side of me really wants to laugh at these people, to tell them to get a life. I fail to see how just walking into Graceland can make one weep. Or how one could make so many trips to Memphis every year when there is so much else to see and do in the world. Sure, I like listening to some Elvis every now and then, but fanataicism of any kind really creeps me out. But then maybe this singular obsession is enough to make these people happy, so who are they really hurting?

WTF is this? This is just too wierd.

Finally a cool mutual fund to invest in.

The U.S. men's soccer team has entered the top 10 of the FIFA world rankings for the first time ever. Rest of the world is mad as hell.

Listen to VH1's One Hit Wonders radio station. (Note: You will need the Windows Media player to listen.) Also, be sure to check out VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders list.

The Sports Guy takes a look at the upcoming release of Madden 2003 and at past releases of the Madden football games.

Wow, I am old. Apparently, the Atari 2600 gaming system is 25 years old this year. Back in my day we didn't have Playstations, Game Cubes, Xboxes or even the old 8-bit Nintendo systems. We played Atari, and we loved it! Maybe I'll try and find my old Atari next time I go to my mom's house.

Hulk Hogan: The Champion of Breakfast.

All things urinal. Search urinals by location or category. See the urinals at Wrigley Field, Dodger Stadium, the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, the Empire State Building, or some dude named Fred's basement . . . just to name a few.

Uh, so if you want to photocopy your butt, you can send it to Sylvester Stallone's mom and she'll tell you your future.

To commemorate the 25th anniversary of Elvis' death, a New Zealand man made a portrait of the king out of over 4000 pieces of toast.

But, I'm not dead yet.

A website devoted to men who look like Kenny Rogers. I actually saw a guy that looked like Kenny Rogers the other day. I almost asked him if he was familiar with this website.
