-- Award for best opening sentence of the day goes to the Post: "In hundreds of city public-school lunchrooms, the three R's stand for roaches, rodents and rotten food."
-- The city is spending $15m to spruce up Flatbush Avenue in downtown Brooklyn-- complete with a puzzlingly modern sculpture!
-- Further up Flatbush, some good news: The Loew's King Theater is not going to be demolished after all.
-- DumboNYC visits the Walentas Carousel, which someday may live in Brooklyn Bridge Park. It's on display (no rides!) at 65 Water Street.
-- Twenty-five productions filmed in Chinatown during the last twelve months-- and shopowners are sick of them.
-- Does anyone else find these pillows to be unnervingly weird?
-- The joke was on them: ImprovEverywhere sat through 12 hours of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" during their latest prank.

The hand pillows are definitely freaky. Just as strange as the "boyfriend's arm" pillow: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6141895/

I think the hand pillows and the cafeterias full of vermin and rotten food are pretty much tied for freaky. Although, come to think of it, I'd probably rather have armless hands on my baby than a roaches and rats scurrying around my child's lunchroom.

Is it just me, or has Improv Everywhere run out of interesting ideas?

it was more like 9 hours. :)
