What is Vanilla Ice's real name?

So, Google has developed a new feature: if you type in a question (say, "Who is John Adams?") you'll get an answer (or an attempted answer) above your search results, like this:

John Adams
Property: ... the first (1789-1797) Vice President of the United States, and the second (1797-1801) President of ...
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Adams


My favorite question-type at the moment is "What is ________'s real name?"

I discovered this new Google-property at Google Blog while I was trying to figure something else out: Those of you (Amira comes to mind) who have "Currently Reading" lists in your sidebar -- how do you do it? Are you constantly hand-editing your Blogger template, or do you use a nicer utility?

  1. I gave up, b/c we read too many books and I have dial-up. So I try to do a monthly highlight post of what I've read and loved. LOL. Sorry I'm no help. But i have noticed that the only ones I read who keep their current reading sidebar updated also happen to be amazon affiliate links. So perhaps there's a motive there that I didn't pursue? :-)
