Tom, Katie unwrap 391st wedding e-meter (photo)
After opening their wedding presents, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have scored 62 copies of Dianetics, 391 "e-meters" and 17,042 free informational DVDs about Scientology.
Some of the wedding guests have attributed the enormous overlap to the difficulty of picking gifts for the couple that has everything. "I gave them one of those Scientology e-meter devices because I knew they'd have to pretend to like it," one friend said.
"Just like Katie's family had to pretend they liked their once-Catholic daughter being brainwashed by a freaky religious cult."

Their interviews of people on the street, especially Americans, are as funny as they are frightening. eg "What State does Kentucky Fried Chicken come from?"
The NASA article was re-printed in
