Alternate version

After you’ve posted an account of what you ate for dinner on your Facebook wall, you’ll be able to rent a movie without leaving the familiar confines of the blue behemoth.

And if this Mark Zuckerberg guy really is a genius, he’ll make it so that when you rent “The Social Network” through Facebook, the movie will be re-purposed to portray the Facebook founder as kind, warm, sensitive and socially adept.

No jacket required: British singer Phil Collins, who recently announced his retirement from the music business, reportedly has become convinced that he’s the reincarnation of a survivor of the 1836 siege at the Alamo.

Gee, it seems that Collins’ maddening 1985 hit “Sussudio” really did drive someone around the bend.

Out of his element: A guy who dresses up like Sasquatch and prowls the New Hampshire back country has filed a lawsuit claiming park rangers violated his free speech rights when they ordered him to obtain a permit.

Now that his case is national news, he can expect to hear from irritated Bigfoot researchers, who will remind him that Sasquatches are indigenous to the Pacific Northwest, not New England.
