News from Down Under.

There was a neat little mention of Al on NBC’s season premiere of Friends last night in case you missed it or just plain don’t watch it. The conversation went something like this:

Monica: Hey! We’re the only ones leaving [the hotel] with the same people we came with.
Chandler: Not me, I came here with Monica. (looking at her extremely frizzy hair) I’m leaving with Weird Al.

Weird science – From the Sydney Morning Herald, Al answers questions about his favorite Greek mathematician, the single most important discovery in the history of the world, meeting his doppelganger from an alternate parallel universe, and Eminem.
