Okay, so this isn't really a joke per-se, but I think it is pretty funny... I'm sure everybody knows who or what "The Blue Man Group" is, right? Just for those people who have been living in a cave, they are those three blue guys who are in the commercials for Intel Pentium processors. In real life they are a performance art troupe. They do "techno" music / percussion. I think they are relatively cool but I wondered, "What the heck do they have to do with Pentiums?"
I did a little web search on "Blue Man Group" (Actually I just asked Sherlock.) This is a link I found: Blue Man Group Man! Lemme' tell ya'! I was just HOWLING when I saw this! Seems to me that the Blue Man Group has more to do with Macintosh than they do Wintel!

Mike Judge said: "also while you're in the Luxor, check out the Imax, I did not enjoy that Imax at all."Was there a problem with the theatre or with the presentation, or did you just not like the particular film being shown?

I have been to the Luxor IMAX and I was unimpressed. It seemed tiny! The screen was big, but there couldn't have been more than 100 seats. The show I saw was in 3D. The 3D effect was VERY impressive, but the guard railings obstructed some of the screen. It is a VERY POORLY CONSTRUCTED auditorium. It had 6 foot risers, I believe. Talk about "stadium seating".They wouldn't let me into the booth. I did like all of the Christie 3,000 watt xenon bulbs that shoot a beam of light into the night sky, though!

>>I was told that they are Christies. They may be ORCs.<<ORC's catalog had the Luxor listed as one of their 'achievements' complete with pictures and all. Aaron
