Ben Afflect to play Kirk?!?!?

From cinescape.com:

.. some others had heard that Ben has also been talking to Paramount about possibly playing a lead role in a new Star Trek film from J.J Abrams. Apparently Abrams is coming down to visit the set in a few weeks, to visit Michelle Monaghan, whom he directed in Mission : Impossible 3, so that might add some more fuel to the fire. If it comes off, he's apparently playing the hero. Don't know if that's Captain Kirk or some other nameless male protagonist...but that's the gist of it. So possible that Affleck's going to go onto doing a new Jack Ryan, and possibly a "Trek", after he finishes with this film.

Hahah lol, how fucking funny would that be! Both Afflect and Shatner suck as actors so it would be no loss really. Well, except the total cancelation of the Star Trek universe.

BEN AFFLECT GO TO HELL!!

Military Resposible for Homosexuals

From Ask.Yahoo.com (via boingboing):

Dear Yahoo!:

How did San Francisco become so popular with gay people?

Jeff Miami, Florida

Dear Jeff:

In addition to its earthquakes and the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco is widely known for its high population of gays and lesbians. How did so many gay people come to call the city by the bay their home? The answer may surprise you... As it turns out, the military is the main reason so many gay men settled in San Francisco. During World War II, the United States armed forces "sought out and dishonorably discharged" homosexuals. Many men who were expelled for being gay were processed at San Francisco bases.
