NZ is playing a test against South Africa right now, and I just saw SA batsman Kallis get a ball right in the crotch. A bizarre sight: the bright red ball stayed there, sort of embedded in his cricket whites, for about 3 seconds before Kallis dislodged it. The commentator referred to Daniel Vettori's next ball bowled as 'slightly warm'. Vettori almost got Kallis again a couple of balls later. Lucky he's not a fast bowler.

More cartoons, this time Farscape
14 Mar 2004 02:47 pmI had another play with the avatar generator and had a go at some Farscape characters (the relatively humanoid ones anyway) or as close as I could get. Can you guess who they are--you especially,
astrogirl2?

I'm not at all happy with the Crais--there weren't any decent moustache and beard options and his hair isn't right either--not that Chiana's is.
[Edit] In response to
astrogirl2 who was quite right, I've changed Zhaan's eyes to blue. I'm sure they were yellow in at least one scene, but I've seen screencaps which have proved me wrong. Here is a particularly lovely one.
