Remember the Helsinki complaints choir? I love them. Singapore, however, is apparently not cool with a local version. Complaints may be addressed to . . . well, just stop complaining, I guess.

Speaking of Helsinki, folks at the Northern Karelia Central Hospital are seeking a headless Belgian mouse.

In India, hundreds people may have been duped or forced into giving up their kidneys to an illegal transplant operation. "In 'transplant tourism,' rich patients pay tens of thousands of dollars to receive kidneys in poor countries, where payments are typically about $1,000 in the black market." Two U.S. and three Greek citizens were found in a luxury guesthouse operated by the doctor running the racket.

In Japan, a marketing firm has begun offering "heartache leave" to its employees.

I like Ejiofor. I have no opinion on Tautou; I don't think I've ever seen her in anything.

You haven't seen Amelie either? Man, you're missing out.

I thought A Very Long Engagement was pretty good, too. But then, I haven't seen anything by Jean-Pierre Jeunet that I haven't liked. (Er, Alien Resurrection aside.)

Yeah, I haven't seen either of those. I have many gaps :-)
