The kind of hot, kind of annoying tv cook turns 41 today. Here are some sexy shots she took for FHM magazine when she was 35. (Yes, these are real photos. I thought they were photoshopped the first time I saw them.) But when you are wishing her a happy birthday today, please keep in mind: she is an agent of terror.

Hey gang, as you probably know, I help run a number of programs through the Urban Youth Association for local teens at a nearby rec center. And as you know, the city is in the midst of a major budget crisis. (See where this headed?) Long story short, we are not getting the funds that we normally get from the local government to help run these programs. So we need your help to help the programs continue. You can meet some of the guys several quizzo regulars and I work with throughout the year by checking out the short video above, and you can read some of their work at their blog.

I am asking you to please donate anything you can afford to, whether it’s $1 or $10 or $100, by going to Paypal and donating to the program. To do that, go to the blog above and click on the paypal link on the right. You can also give me money at quizzo this week if you’d like to help. Needless to say, this is a program I strongly believe in, from the basketball to the tutoring to our summer education program. Your support helps to pay our teachers, helps to pay for the various field trips we have during the year, and gives local teens (many of whom come from dangerous neighborhoods) a safe, fun, and positive environment to spend their free time. I thoroughly appreciate your support.

The Kingdom wins twice, including once by 39. Will the margin of victory affect the QCS computers? L. Ron Hubbard answers 39 out of 40, and the Jams keep on rolling. Who will secure the top spot? Find out Monday when the Power Rankings are released. In the meantime, here are a few highlights of the past week:

Vick is hardly the first Philly athlete to torture animals. The horrifying history of Philly athletes and animals.

The Michael Vick and Dogs quizzo round.

Jayson Werth steals Vanilla Ice’s style.

Looked at a very cool place to do a fall fest quizzo (sort of a slightly smaller scale quizzo bowl). Thinking late September-early October. Location is less than a block off the L in West Philly (corner of 46th and Market.) More details to come, but just curious if you guys would be willing to travel to West Philly for a throwdown. I suspect yes, since like I said it’s less than a block off the L, but I just wanted to make sure. And here’s the catch: booze has to be served by a licensed and insured caterer. Obviously don’t need a catering service, just a single person to serve booze. Anybody got any leads?
