  Tell Brak Project
The Brak project was established to explore the then little-known 3rd and 4th millennia BC (Late Chalcolithic and EBA) occupation of Northern Mesopotamia, in particular within the Khabur basin of NE Syria where Brak is situated.
A "Gateway City", Brak lies on one of the major roads leading from the Tigris Valley north to the metal sources in Anatolia and west to the Euphrates and the Mediterranean.
Brak was first excavated by Sir Max Mallowan in 1937-38, and the castellum was investigated by Father Poidebard in 1930.

 The Brak Show, Vol. 1 DVD Review - MovieWeb
The Brak Show is one of Adult Swim’s most popular series, and the first season that started it all is now available on DVD.
Another episode shows the damaging effects of a broken family when Brak’s mother is seduced by an owl/octopus hybrid and is taken to the creature’s mom’s basement where she is held captive in a cocoon.
The Brak Show is a jumbled, sometimes obnoxious program, but I still can’t help but snicker when I reflect on the episodes.

 BRAK What's New?
Brak (the actual mobile base) was kidnapped by a senior project student sometime last month (I think, time passes so quickly) so if you go to the lab the closest you'll come to seeing him is a picture.
You'll find a page on the new motor board which will continue to be fleshed out in the coming months, and we're waiting on some wireless Ethernet PCI and PC Card boards from D-Link which will eventually find their way onto the robot.
Brak is running the latest stable Linux kernel (including back-patches from Linux 2.3 for USB), the BSAL code has been reworked some more, and I have my first primitive GUI working using GTK+ and Gnome (shown to the right).

 Ink 19 :: Brak
You get the feeling Brak is just hanging around the studio, chatting up the countless studio musicians and running up a spectacular tab while waiting for such luminaries as the Chieftains, Grape Ape, Diamond Dallas Page, and Freddie Prinze Jr., among others.
And Brak has plenty of important things to sing about, such as the merits of beef logs (vis a vis cheese logs), the joy of being a cucumber, or of having a big fat squid in your refrigerator.
Brak manages to be pants-wetting funny without resorting to sex or potty humor, or double entendre, which is about a unique a style as you'll find today.

 The Brak Show, Vol. 2 DVD Review - MovieWeb
Watching The Brak Show truly is a one-of-a-kind experience and I can honestly say that it's the weirdest show I've ever seen (yes, weirder than Aqua Teen Hunger Force).
Marsha Crenshaw, who played the role for the first 13 episodes, had such a sweet and soft voice that was pleasing to hear and it balanced correctly with the other characters.
Just like in the first season, a lot of the show takes place in Brak's kitchen, though occasionally we are treated to Brak's bedroom and even out in the middle of nowhere on a bridge during the "Shadows of Heat" episode.

 June 01, 2000: CD-Reviws, Brak   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
After playing second tuba to Space Ghost, Brak gets to helm his own variety show with the aid of Grape Ape, Wally Gator and the ever-antagonistic Zorak.
Brak knows he couldn't keep his mind on track if his helmet was welded to a train.
The humor is more monobrow than lowbrow, and gets its zing from the simple fact that Brak is absurdly and astutely stupid and finds pleasure in the small stuff (like liking corn or having a favorite toenail.) Nothing cerebral or scatological, just 100 percent, well-distributed, Brak-style idiocy.

 L'chaim in B'nai Brak - Torah.org
A growing body of scientific evidence suggests the key to the longevity of Bnei Brak residents may well be their religiosity.
The large family-size in the Orthodox community and the great stress on the mitzvah of honoring one's parents help ensures that Bnei Brak's elderly will be frequently visited by several generations of descendants and experience the satisfaction on a constant basis of witnessing their own continuity.
From an early age, the primary mental activity of most Bnei Brak males is Talmudic study, and they continue to learn all their lives, even after they have retired from other pursuits.

 Basking in the brilliance of Brak (phillyBurbs.com) | opinion
Think a dysfunctional "Leave it to Beaver." Brak is a rather immature, slightly dense, but always endearing alien-type thing (he looks like a cat wearing a tribal mask and a spacesuit to me.) Brak has a mom, a dad and a rarely seen little brother.
With the aforementioned people, Brak goes on a series of wacky, implausible adventures, such as shooting mortar shells at his father’s prized pot-bellied pigs, or taking care of a haunted doll named Mr.
But Brak somehow appeals to me. Besides being idealistic, innocent and therefore lovable, Brak exudes what it is to have a truly fun life.
