Spring is upon us once again. After a long and grueling winter, the snow has finally melted, the birds have all returned and nature itself sees to be telling us it’s time to get it on. This is, of course, great news for those of us lucky enough to get lucky. But what about all of the virgins among us? What are they supposed to do during these days of short skirts and sunshine?
Last year, Joel Murphy compiled a list of 10 cinematic heroes who were (probably) virgins to help inspire the men without women out there to do amazing things.
If you missed it then, you can enjoy it now:

Mark Pellegrino is such a big deal in Hollywood these days that people who see him on the street just want to walk up and touch him … then again, that could be because his god-like character Jacob on Lost had the ability to grant immortality to anyone he lays his hand on.
In 2010, we sat down with Pellegrino to talk about playing a Christ-like figure on Lost, being a part of the pivotal rug peeing scene in the cult-classic film The Big Lebowski and his fondness for wiener dogs.

Angela Martin can be a bit uptight. She is the sort of judgmental buzzkill that we’ve all had to deal with in our workplace. But Angela Kinsey, who plays Martin on The Office, couldn’t be more different from her character. Upbeat and bubbly, this Texan was more than happy to sit down and chat with us back in 2006.

In honor of Presidents Day, here are two articles from the archive to help you get in the spirit of this holiday known mostly for its mattress and used car sales …
Positive Cynicism – A Cynical Celebration of the Presidents
In this 2011 column, Aaron R. Davis gives some background on the origin of Presidents Day and shares a few lesser-known facts about America’s presidents. It’s a history of the most powerful men in the country that you aren’t likely to get in school.
Murphy’s Law – Know your POTUS
In this 2010 column, Joel Murphy urges us all to know our former POTUSes a little bit better. He recommends starting a game show that offers a trip to Fiji for the person who knows the most about our former president. And, to help as along, he shares some info about our 12th president, Zachary Taylor.

From the moment he first arrived on screen claiming to be an innocent balloonist marooned on the island, Benjamin Linus was an unstoppable force on Lost. And while you may have loved or hated how the show ended, you had to love Michael Emerson’s performance on it.
Emerson, a stage actor who made a name for himself on television by playing serial killer William Hinks on The Practice, has since gone on to star in Person of Interest. But in 2009 while he was still playing everyone’s favorite Other, we caught up with Emerson to talk about the complexities of Lost, the lighter side of Benjamin Linus and having microwavable food thrown at your head.
