This is going to sound a little stupid, but there was a hell of a lot more running involved in the Great Urban Race than I originally thought there would be. Having done one urban adventure race prior to the GUR, I definitely had certain expectations. Those expecations included puzzle clues, crazy stunts, and of course, covering a pretty decent amount of ground in and around Philadelphia. They did not necessarily include essentially sprinting from Market Street to the Art Museum, booking it all the way down Fairmount to the subway, short break on the subway before running from City Hall to Reading Terminal Market, up and over to 8th and Race, back down to 3rd and Market, then all the way back up 3rd Street to Buckhead Saloon to the finish line.

Provocative documentary director and activist Morgan Spurlock is at it again, this time turning a critical eye (and lens) on Al Qaeda with Where in the World is Osama Bin Ladin? After years of hype, chase and dire predictions of imminent showdowns, this public enemy #1 is still on the loose, and we're apparently no closer to apprehending him (or blowing him away). Not content to buy the Bush administration's rhetoric on the subject, Spurlock set off on a scavenger hunt of sorts, risking life and limb in search of the truth about Bin Ladin.
