I watched David Letterman last night and Cage The Elephant was on playing the single "Shake Me Down" off their new album "Thank You, Happy Birthday." After Cage The Elephant performed he talked to the band. After a short discussion, he made a joke saying that "prior to Cage The Elephant being a band, they used to work in a nozzle department." The band laughed like they understood.

I didn't get the joke - I have the show DVR'd and have watched it a few times to see if maybe I understood him wrong. No, I just don't get the joke.

Does anyone know what David Letterman meant?

Three separate YouTube accounts are accessed from my computer. I have a personal account where I watch videos that I enjoy and post home videos. I also access a blogging account with links to tech videos, SEO demos, and other blogs that link to mine. Thirdly, my 5yo son has an account where he watches Wiggles, Laurie Berkner, Yo Gabba Gabba, and other preschool kids videos. I had linked his account to a Yahoo email that I had set up for him before, but then unlinked it after getting signed out of all my Google services every time I signed my son in.

Today, I tried to log in to my personal YouTube account, which uses a Yahoo email address and it forced me to link it to a Google account. I did and of course got signed out of every Google service that I use for my blog. I guess I could use my blogging account for everything, but it will make "recommended videos" and "subscriptions" worthless because they will all be mingled together. Maybe I could create separate folders for everything, but really - I have used separate email addresses for business, personal, contests, etc for years. As of today, if I use one of them to log into YouTube, I get logged out of everything else, but I am not allowed to log into YouTube unless I do exactly that. Am I overreacting or is this going to make less people use YouTube?

I use YouTube because it is a place to have my videos seen, but as of today, logging in is a pain.

How do you explain to your child what happens to a friend who has not been saved, after they die? The last time this happened, our oldest son was only 3-years old and we were able to avoid many of the "is he in heaven?" questions. If the same thing happened tomorrow, we would need an explanation of some kind. How do we tell a child that our good friend, whom we have laughed with and shared many things in common other than religious beliefs, is now in hell?

A different question got me thinking about this topic. I can accept that life is short and that some people refuse to be saved no matter how much we would like to convert them. However, explaining this to a five-year old who can barely wrap his head around the concept of death is more difficult.

A lot of times I'll be typing in a form box and words will automatically get jumbled up. Other times, I'll try to say "wanna" and the text will change to "want to" even though I purposely typed "WANNA"..this actually happened to me today when I was typing a capcha. I don't like my typing being completed for me because sometimes I purposely use slang and abbreviations.

What causes this and how can I make it stop? I am using Firefox 3.5 on a PC with Windows XP.

I am writing an article on the ten best feature-length cartoons that have been released since Toy Story (1995). I will award best answer to whoever provides the greatest detail of why you liked the particular cartoons you chose.

If you only have one favorite cartoon, feel free to share and try to provide detail as to why it is your favorite. The cartoons do not have to be Pixar style, they can be claymation, traditional animation, Miyazaki Anime or whatever. Just no Hentai or Scanner Darkly type animation...I guess I mean a PG-13 audience or younger.
