None-hit blunder

By LINDSEY SCHUPPENHAUER | Sep. 30, 2005

Ever wonder where the one-hit wonder group Aqua went? "Barbie Girl," remember? "In a Barbie world."

Twice the fun for tennis teammates

Not like an on-edge, paranoid Midwesterner worried the terrorists will strike any minute, but more like someone who looks at his watch every few seconds because the train is late.I am convinced that one day in my lifetime I will go onto CNN.com and read that a nuclear bomb has exploded in Manhattan.
