What? That’s just a baby in her belly and she’s not pregnant?
Seriously, who thinks up this stuff? I remember watching Spaceballs and there was a scene just like this, where an alien creature decided to jump out of a man’s stomach after a spicy meal.
I wonder if that little tyke can sing and dance too.
By the way, whatever happened to just putting your baby in a stroller?
For you James Bond fanatics, today’s your day to add to your James Bond movie collection.
Quantum of Solace has finally hit stores and now you can start drooling over Olga Kurylenko. If you’re having trouble pronouncing the name, just call her “O” for short.
Just in case you weren’t aware, the Space Shuttle Discovery was launched on March 15th. Yes, I know we’ve been launching shuttles for years now. But something that we haven’t been doing is…sending bats into space.
Well, apparently a bat was clinging on to the shuttle for dear life as that baby was launched into orbit. I don’t know why that little guy didn’t just try to fly away.
Hmm…I wonder what was the last thing that went through that little guy’s mind. Probably nothing since he was probably fried first.
Apparently playing the Nintendo Wii makes this little tike bust a gut. It’s actually really cute to listen to the little guy laugh.
Funny how a difference of 20-years can change a person’s perception of you. Watching this baby laugh at the Wii makes others think he’s cute, whereas when I laugh, people just think I’m insane.
So yesterday I was bored and decided to hit up the Keanu flick, “The Day the Earth Stood Still.” Needless to stay, I wasn’t so impressed and had more fun picking the salt off my pretzel. But the suspense of me waiting for Keanu to say “whoa” is what kept me tuned in.
But through all the misery, there was one good thing that came out of it. The new trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little excited, especially to see some new characters like Gambit.
If you want to see a year’s worth of work miraculously appear before your eyes, you’ve got it.
San Francisco artist Robert Burden painted this man-sized painting of Voltron called pièce de résistance or “Defensor Mundi.” The great part of it all is that he caught it all on tape in a time-lapse, watching him create this from scratch.
It’s quite interesting to watch the print develop. The man’s got talent.
A traveling China town? I didn’t know that LA was mobile. He he.
OK, enough of my lame humor. I had to double take when I saw this crazy, yet cool design for China’s Mobile Super Star City. It’s like the Starship Enterprise, but with tentacles, razors or whatever you want to call them.
China apparently is underway on this project, which it intends to launch to cities around the world in an effort to “inject the energy of China into the world.” Hmm, could inject be a nice way of saying “take over the world”? And why the name “Super Star”? Oh that’s right, because Death Star was already taken.
Anyways, if this thing were to really come to life, it will be an amazing architecture accomplishment. Each spike serves a purpose, such as an “Olympic Center” where Chinese Olympians can live and train every four years, a living quarters spike, hospital and even a cemetery. I can’t wait for them to have the slogan, “come aboard and die with us!” If that doesn’t sound like a cult, I don’t know what does.
I can handle this new breakthrough, but if I start seeing Klingons jumping out of this thing and Will Smith flying a fighter jet, then I know the world has gone mad.
If you thought watching a firecracker explode was exciting, you should check out the damage this rocket does when it pops.
Check out this explosion of an ATK Launch Vehicle X-1 that was supposed to be carrying a $45 million satellite into space. Seconds after liftoff, this sucker bursts, sending 250 tons of debris and rocket fuel all over Cape Canaveral. Luckily, nobody was hurt, with the except with a couple of melted and charred cars.
For instance, these two guys. They decide to dress up like little elf men, or whatever, who are on their way to a rave. Cardboard swords and all. The test? To see how tired they would get if they had to run through a virtual world. So where does this marathon take place? On Azeroth, in the World of Warcraft.
It’s kind of amusing the amount of humility these guys will put themselves through for their little experiment.
My favorite line is from the one with the green, Oompa Loompa wig:
“My Heart is at 220. Is that bad?
Of course it’s not. Well, not as bad as dressing up like a drag queen.
A Blu-ray player that also doubles as a Netflix streamer? Oh yes, it has arrived.
LG has announced that it will release the LG BD300 Blu-ray player this fall, that will not only play all your favorite Blu-ray DVDs, but will also allow you to stream up to 12,000 titles from Netflix. And I’m sure you’re thinking a baby like this is gonna kill your checking account, but according to them, it’s going to be “well under $500.”
I’m sure those who have already picked up the Roku box probably wish they could have held out a bit longer, but no one said you couldn’t put that bad boy in the bedroom.
“Well under” probably means $490 to them, but who cares! Now I have another excuse to not leave the couch. Or house. Just as long as Vons keeps delivering and the plumbing stays under control, I now have my very own lair. Muaha….muahahaha…muahahahahaha!
