THE MAGIC OF MYTH
There's a new addition to the ever-popular 'Star Wars' series. No, it's not a sneak-peek at the impending prequel trilogy. It's a new 'Star Wars' exhibit that is premiering at the National Air and Space museum in Washington, D.C. 'Star Wars: The Magic of Myth' opened last Friday at the nation's premier institution of science fact to demonstrate how the films closely follow the themes of ancient myth and legend. According to Mark Greenberg of E! Online, the exhibit features 200 props, models, costumes, and storyboard sketches from the three films, along with brilliant original concept paintings that George Lucas used to sell the 'Star Wars' premise to studio executives. The exhibit is free and will run for a year, so if you're not planning on attending the Washington Seminar you might want to reconsider. This is a once in a life-time opportunity.

SEINFELD IS HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH?
Warning: 'Seinfeld' can be hazardous to your health. That is the conclusion of Dr. Andrew Eisenhauer of the Lahey Hitchcock Medical Center in Burlington Massachusetts in a letter printed in the current issue of the medical journal 'Catherization and Cardiovascular.' It turns out that an unidentified 62-year-old man lost consciousness at least six times last season while watching the hilarious antics of Jerry, Elaine, Kramer, and especially George. The sitcom tickled him so much that he lapsed into what the doctors have termed 'Seinfeld Syncope' and fainted into his mashed potatoes. A spokesperson for 'Seinfeld,' in an attempt to capitalize on the hilarity of this story, has hinted that the writers for the top-rated sitcom are already working on a possible episode featuring 'Seinfeld Syncope.' For you 'Seinfeld' fans out there who are wondering what the future of 'Seinfeld' is, never fear. This incident is far from an epidemic. However, you may want to avoid watching 'Seinfeld' while eating dinner, just in case.

KISSINGER IN DISNEYLAND
Henry Kissinger, Nixon's famed advisor has been hired by the third-most powerful force in the world -- The Disney Corporation. The entertainment masters have hired Kissinger to smooth over their relations with the ever-oppressing China in an attempt to open the country to the joys of Disney marketing (imagine for a moment a billion Chinese people with Mickey Mouse ears on). It seems that China is a little hurt by all of the bad press they've been receiving, thanks to that nasty little 'Seven Years in Tibet' and now the Disney-funded 'Kundun,' another story featuring the invasion of Tibet by China. So Disney has pulled in their ace-in-the-hole 74-year-old Nobel Peace Prize recipient to make everything all-right between the two global powerhouses.
