I've been having some fun doing some websurfing tonight. Allow me to share my results. First, we have the Degree Confluence Project, whose goal "s to visit each of the latitude and longitude integer degree intersections in the world, and to take pictures at each location." That's pretty neat.
The second is Mel Gibson's The Passion, which I get more excited about every time I hear more information about it. There's even a trailer at the site I just linked, go check it out.

I just showed the trailer to Mrs. Mellow and expressed my continued excitement about the film, and she said that it definitely looked epic. I like epic films.
It will also be an interesting thing to see what sorts of pronunciations they choose to use for the ancient languages. Based on the one line in Latin by Pilate in the trailer, it sounds like they'll probably be using Ecclesiastical pronunciation (as opposed to Classical). I wonder how Greek and Aramaic will fare (the one line in Aramaic in the trailer doesn't reveal too much).
As for the pronunciations, I had read some stuff about that, too, but I don't remember exactly what I read or where I read it except that Mel hired a slew of language experts to help him make it as authentic as reasonable.
