THE FUNNIES: Glenn Reynolds links to this Tom Tomorrow strip about how 2001 the year did not live up to 2001 the movie. Typical Hollywood. I would like to add that, in 2001, there were no Giant Babies, no Pan Am flights to speak of, and no monoliths droning angsty choruses. (My brother pointed out to me that the cover of Who's Next has the four of them right after they pissed on a monolith, which must have been really obvious when it was record-sized but which I never noticed on the tiny CD cover.)
