This music video really spoke to me… I laugh every time I watch
it! When DID Mötley Crüe become classic rock?

Darwin Awards salute the improvement of the
human genome by honoring those who accidentally
kill themselves in really stupid ways.

Stella Awards:
"The Stella Awards were inspired by Stella
Liebeck. In 1992, Stella, then 79, spilled a cup of McDonald's coffee
onto her lap, burning herself. A New Mexico jury awarded her $2.9
million in damages, but that's
not the whole story."
Hilarious, and
very , very sad.

- Good Places to Stay:
There are piles of them out there. These ones we recommend highly
-
Italy: Venice,
Palazzo
Zenobio: Very cool - stayed in the library of a 300+ year old
palace! Well located, with nice accommodations.
-
Italy: Ravenna,
HI/AIG
Dante: Quite possibly the best youth hostel in Italy - new, clean,
comfortable, convenient
-
Italy: Firenze,
HI/AIG
Europa Villa Camerata: not quite as nice, and a bit of a trek from
the centre of town, but it is fun to stay in a 16th century palace.
The hostel bar was quite lively.
-
Italy: Pisa,
Hotel Roseto:
This place was awesome. Recently remodelled, comfortable, and
right by the train station.
-

accommodation, great location, nice people, yummy breakfast

- BAD Places To Stay: It
has to be pretty bad to make this list....

Clifton
Private Hotel: Simply awful. Apparently it used to be very
nice (~2000). We think that they guy kept this as part of his
divorce settlement, and it had been his wife running it before.
The rooms were terrible, the guy was rude, the food was disgraceful.
