Claiming he manipulated drummer Tommy Lee and extorted the band, heavy metal icons Motley Crue this week in Los Angeles sued its manager Carl Stubner and his associates for more than $20 million for lost earnings and other damages. Ticketnews.com has obtained a copy of the lawsuit, which portrays Stubner as a virtual svengali who placed Lee in failing projects at the expense of Lee’s and the band’s reputation because Stubner profited from them.The band described a litany of lost tour and promotional opportunities it lost from 2005 to the present due to Stubner allegedly not making “Lee available on an exclusive basis” to the band for interviews, concert dates and recording sessions.

Q. Who is the girl "with the naturally curly hair"?
]
A. The girl "with the naturally curly hair" is known as Frieda.
Q. What about the Little Red-Haired Girl?
A. There are two different lines of thought about "the Little Red-Haired Girl."
1) If you purely follow the strip (which is the preferred interpretation of the story lines by most PEANUTS purists), the Little Red-Haired Girl is never given a name. Actually, she's never even seen in the strip.
2) The Little Red-Haired Girl did actually appear in one of the PEANUTS TV specials ("It's Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown," 1977), in which she was called "Heather." But in this instance, the creative decisions regarding her appearance were decided by the show's animators - not Mr. Schulz.

BERLIN (Reuters) - An aggressive squirrel attacked and injured three people in a German town before a 72-year-old pensioner dispatched the rampaging animal with his crutch.The squirrel first ran into a house in the southern town of Passau, leapt from behind on a 70-year-old woman, and sank its teeth into her hand, a local police spokesman said Thursday.With the squirrel still hanging from her hand, the woman ran onto the street in panic, where she managed to shake it off.

a James Bond-worthy concept: knock on the door in a certain fashion, and the door'll open automatically. The idea was perfect: no need to drill holes, sneaky enough so the landlord wouldn't accidentally trigger it, easy enough to remember.The implementation was a bit more difficult: We needed something mechanical to open the lock from the inside and something to detect the knocks themselves. The first of the two wasn't too hard: the lock has a 'knob' on the inside, so you can lock and unlock the room from the inside without having the key. The second probably could be solved with a microphone, a small amplifier and a microcontroller to detect the knocks and see if they're in the right order.

Jim heard that the Archive was doing a fundraising drive, so he dug in his closet to find drawings for us to sell for him. A portion of the proceeds from these auctions will be going to support the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive. The opening bid is low, so you've got no excuse but to bid. Here's your chance to own a great drawing from the original Ren & Stimpy Show and help the Archive at the same time! Thanks Jim!
