The Looney Tunes Back in Action "Wooden Nickel Card Battle" on the free AOL CD has a bug where if you win several times, you can't continue playing because the "You Won" screen won't go away (it covers the new game starting below it). I guess you get what you pay for (nothing, in this case)! I thought the fact that AOL gave you extra games on the CD was cool (even if you didn't install their software), but then I went to the Looney Tunes Back in Action website and saw that there are way more free games there (on the order of 20 or so) than the measley 2 on the AOL CD. Thus, the CD has now become a coaster.

I think it's cool that Bill Gates is going to be knighted, but he takes the shaft that he can't start calling himself "Sir Bill Gates" (only knighted British citizens can call themselves "Sir", plus the U.S. Constitution doesn't tolerate titles in America). Since he's a foreign knight, however, he can use the initial KBE (honorary Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) after his name. I think it's funny that Austin Powers was correct in Goldmember for calling Steven Spielberg, "Sir Stevie" - since he also is a knight.
