(Cue dramatic music) Dun-dun-duuuuuuuuuuuuuun!\r\n\r\nCraig was online today, learning the ups and downs of retweeting.  He sent this in the afternoon:<span class=\"status-body\" style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span class=\"status-content\"><span class=\"entry-content\"> RT @<span class=\"tweet-url username\">BuzzMohawk<\/span>: @<a class=\"tweet-url username\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/CraigyFerg\">CraigyFerg<\/a> CBS cares, but basketball sucks. <\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"status-body\"><span class=\"status-content\"><span class=\"entry-content\">Then followed it later with a clarification: <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Eek.

Or could @DirkWeems be someone else entirely?  The plot thickens.  (More dramatic music) Dun-dun-duuuuuuuuuuuuhn!  Dramatic days in the hollowed out volcano, to be sure.\r\n\r\nCraig also talked about his movie, How To Train Your Dragon, which has already grossed more than 43 million dollars in its first three days:  <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Dragon movie made a gazillion dollars. I get a whopping 0% of the grosses. Don&#8217;t care. I love that film. <\/span>It looks like a lot of people did.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was a dark and stormy night, deep inside the M5 laboratory, when mad scientist Grant Imahara tweeted the fateful words: Thus ends a verrry long day in the shop.
