As I'm sure many of you out there are dying to know what Ricky Gervais, that funny man who created "The Office", is up to--I would like to provide you with that up date.
According to the BBC...
Ricky and his friend Stephen Merchant are working on a sitcom entitled "Extras".
"Gervais and his writing partner Stephen Merchant are currently refining the scripts for the six-part series, in which Gervais plays a struggling actor who complains about the stars.
Meanwhile, Gervais is gearing up to promote his cartoon book Flanimals which is released in the US in March, around the same time as NBC begin showing the US version of The Office."
If I hear anything about the up coming Simpsons episode
Mr. Gervais is writing, I'll let you all know.
Can you feel the excitement? I can.
In the course of human history there have been several supurb ideas that have changed the world as we know it.
For instance, as mentioned in my previous entry, Magna Carta. That wonderful little document that really got us rolling on the whole "rule of law" thing.
Or, the light bulb. Think of how much time you save everyday by not haveing to light a series of candles, or extract oil from something and stick it in a lamp, and then light that.
Or even the computer. Those things really seem to be catching on, and each year, or to be more accurate MONTH, someone seems to come up with something else that totally revolutionizes computers as we know them. But, great invention, truly great.
This idea however, may take the cake.

Oh, while I'm on it, cake should be added to the over all list of great ideas.
