    Thanks! See my response to k above. Lindsay Lohan is a name I recognize from the check-out lane. Lorne Michaels, I knew of course, but no one else from the SNL team, except that Tina person who was the annoying cheerleader at the turn of the millennium. The last movie I saw was Dinesh D'Souza's _America_. Before that: Alongside Night... Gravity ... Hobbit 2 (dragooned by a friend)... A few years ago, my wife took me to _Live Free or Die Hard_ and I went to a movie with her in return, something about people love or not.

    I did note that before "Mean Girls" Lindsay Lohan played opposite Jaimie Lee Curtis in "Freaky Friday."

    I just finished reading _Turing's Cathedral_ by George Dyson. No mean girls were harmed in that.

    Thanks. Instead, I read a couple of paragraphs in Wikipedia. $129 million worldwide... Amazing... But we spend a million times more on cosmetics than on science. Well, not "us" us: my wife just threw down a couple hundred at the electronics store buying us kits. She has a security device she wants us to make and market, but we have to come up to speed on the benchwork first.

    Rachael McAdams. I not sure it matters beyond the movie reference, which I can't recall.

    Who is the girl? I assume this is a cultural icon.
    Do you have to know who she is for this to have meaning beyond the words in the message?
