Your Attention Please

There's another online poll to determine the New 7 Wonders of Nature with the Philippines contributing two nominees -- both in Palawan. Interesting, no? Uso si Ploning eh. Hehe!

As of 1000 GMT on Sunday, 27 April 2008, the top 10 has Mounts Fuji and Everest. Talk about imposing. Where are the Pinoy hackers when you need 'em?!

The Tubbataha Reef seems to be stuck at #8 but the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park moved up to #60. (not shown) Andale! Andale!

FLAK ::: Another Perp Walk

Amy Winehouse has been arrested on suspicion of assault after allegedly head-butting a man during a drunken night in London. According to a witness, Winehouse “was crying and moaning” on her way to the police station for questioning.

Are you kidding me? Here's what they snipped: Ms. Winehouse was woozy from the impact, hence, the moaning. Electric soup don't do nothing for our crackpot, thankyouverymuch.

But the funny thing about the news photos (not just for this one) is she's always escorted by a bobby and we can't tell whether she's booked for a case or booked for a gig. Makes sorting images really easy for the interns, don't it?

Have a great week ahead, ladies and gentlemen!

U2 ::: Benign Influence

Don't you get tired of seeing this year after year? No, but you'd think they'd resolve to have Bono exempted from the voting already since his Irish smirk is almost always guaranteed an appearance on the list.

TIME's 100 Most Influential is upon us once again and Bono's neck and neck with the other crusading B (not you, yet, Bernice, but perhaps next year!), Barack Obama, for the top spot on the online poll. As I write this, Hewson got shoved off to #3 from #1 by Barack with the Dalai Lama wedged between them.

Now, obviously, campaign HQ has temps on hand keeping a leg up for Obama. Not a problem. I'm wondering though why Clinton's way below at #90? Her handlers not sold on this idea? But I thought perception feeds influence, or is it the other way around? (Help.)

Here's how the mad clicking looked like as of 11:10 p.m., my time:

Aren't the U2 geeks back from Spring break yet? Vote for Bono.
