I heard that Jerry is going to have another sitcom about his life as a family man. Do you know anything about this?

Mysteries of Pittsburgh looks good, but I wonder if I've seen to much of the movie already...

• Beer Bear: As reported by a 1991 issue of the Orlando Sentinel, a bear who had escaped from the circus went into a Ukrainian bar and roughly slapped a patron, stole his beer and food, bit him, and then left. The bear was later found asleep in the park next to the pub. I don’t know about you guys, but I know plenty of non-bears who have had very similar nights.
