Tom Green vs Jerry Seinfeld. Who would win?

• We know from his show that Tom can take a beating, which gives him the advantage
• Plus, Tom is hard to kick in the nut(s), because he only has one testicle
• On the other hand, isn’t Jerry taller and heavier?
• Plus, Jerry has an ego so big it’s like fighting 2 people

Makes you think. Actually the only thing it makes me think is “when these 2 fight, everybody wins.”

You know, RSS is kind of cool. But it is by nature a “reference-only” data structure. That is, the full articles posted are NOT in the RSS feed- only their URLs. In theory, this is to have a lightweight XML data structure go out to the client, with only articles that catch the user’s interest being downloaded in full.

In practice, this means that certain readers (like OS X NetNewsWire) only see the little excerpt part of the article. I honestly hadn’t noticed this, because I’ve been using FeedReader, which lets you load up the RSS URL in the content pane instead of the excerpt.

So, in the interest of accomodating the NNW folks, I have provided a “full article” feed below.
