Hmm.... hope I can get away with posting this without being flamed. i mean
- it is on topic sort of coz there's ascii in it. :-) oh ok - flame me; I
deserve it. ;-) But seriously - this was quite popular when I sent it out
before (had to give up coz I needed to study). I'd love to get it up and
running again! :-)

James Cameron, ever the perfectionist, was so concerned about Jack's
drawings in the film Titanic looking just like he wanted, that he drew
them himself. In the scenes where Jack's hand is shown sketching Rose,
it's James Cameron's hand, and he's trying his best to draw right handed,
because he's a lefty.

When Briton Malcolm Ecles, 50, died of bowel cancer, his family turned
him into a kitchen aid. In accordance with his wishes, they keep his
ashes in a specially crafted glass egg timer. "I can't boil a soft
egg to save my life," widow Brenda Eccles said. "He knew that and
said I should turn some of his ashes into an egg-timer. Then he could
help me and it would be a nice way of remembering him."'
