A Thing That Doesn't Suck: The Public Library
The latest issue of Wired magazine has an entertaining feature on 33 things that suck including air travel, junk mail and the nigh-indestructible plastic packaging that has a nasty tendency to slice fingers. (There's also a somewhat apologetic article on the suckiness of magazine subscription cards, which I noticed only after I had ripped the aforementioned cards out of my copy of the issue.)
However, Wired also lists 34 things that don't suck, including Guitar Hero, ice cream, and the first half hour of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Also included on the list: Public libraries!

Wait, the first half-hour? I'd like to think that the author meant the last half-hour. The mine-cart chase to bridge stand-off is the best action sequence in the Indiana Jones movies.

That's true, the mine-cart chase is one of the best action sequences in movie history. In fact, the whole movie is pretty awesome and warrants a spot on my "things to watch again" list.
