   	Well, I still haven't seen the sketch myself, but The Gray Lady   
   has chosen to report on the Horny Manatee thing:   
   http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/12/arts/television/12mana.html?_r=1&oref=slogin   
      
   	Interesting points I didn't know:   
   	- The voyeur in the original sketch was Mark Pender.   
   	- NBC bought the hornymanatee.com rights for $159.   
   	- The site's gotten three million hits.   
   	- Conan's already gotten compliments about it from a waiter   
   at a Christmas party.
