The Adventures of Mark Twain

This is a really strange claymation movie... From Amazon.com's editorial review:

Based on elements from the stories of Mark Twain, this feature-length Claymation(r) fantasy follows the adventures of Tom Sawyer, Becky Thatcher, and Huck Finn as they stowaway aboard the interplanetary balloon of Mark Twain. Twain, disgusted with the Human Race, is intent upon finding Halley's Comet and crashing into it, achieving his "destiny." It's up to Tom, Becky, and Huck to convince him hat his judgment is wrong, and that he still has much to offer humanity that might make a difference. Their efforts aren't just charitable; if they fail, they will share Twain's fate. Along the way, they use a magical time portal to get a detailed overview of the Twain philosophy, observing the "historical" events that inspired his works.

Watch this crazy clip from it, though. It creeps me out a bit:

I Want A Secret Room

I've always wanted a secret room in my house. The thing is, I have an office area in my basement that would be perfect for converting into a "secret" area, if only my wife will let me!

I could probably get away with something like the one below, because it looks rather nice:

Here's a Do-It-Yourself Hidden Room complete with the book door handle.

How cool would it be to find a secret room in your house a year after you've lived there?

Ever heard of the Củ Chi tunnels in Vietnam? Lots of secret doors and passages there.

Today the tunnels are a tourist attraction:

Some tunnels have been made larger to accommodate the larger size of western tourists, while low-power lights have been installed in several of them to make traveling through them easier and booby traps have been clearly marked.

Booby traps?! Here's a picture of one:

If I ever have a secret room, I'll leave the booby traps out. Maybe.
