In July of 1999, a student webmaster disappeared into a theater near Cleveland Heights, Ohio while viewing a documentary. Four months later, this weblog update was found:

Imponderables: Mysteries of the Opposite Sex Survey
"Why do women seem to like personal celebrations, such as birthdays and the attendant fuss, more than men? Why do men seem to be more oriented toward fetishes than women? Why do men seem to prefer long hair on women? Why do men use toothpicks and women not?"

The Register UK: Tomb Raider toned down for US market
"The game, which features the pneumatic Lara Croft, combines shoot-'em-up action with a range of brain-teasing challenges that have to be completed to progress through the game. However, according to an Eidos representative, research has shown that Americans only play computer games for brief periods before going off to watch the TV."
