Two Words

Land Shark [UnderwaterTimes]

Here’s one woman’s four-page tale about the emotionally wrenching heartache and deep-tissue discussions she had to go through after discovering—while looking through her boyfriend’s web browser logs—that he purchases and uses porn. It’s almost touching, if it weren’t so pathetic.
To the author’s credit, she basically works it out by the end of the discussion with [...]

If, by some act of reverse metempsychosis, we took all that was worthy in George Lucas’ imagination and injected it into Jules Verne, this might have resulted a century earlier: the steampunk lightsaber, hand-crafted here by a friend of “CaptainChewbacca” at the Stardestroyer.net forums.
I’ve never really been a gigantic Star Wars fan, but I must [...]

I’d link this just for Elizabeth Montgomery alone, but the line “the international murder machine they just couldn’t turn off” seals the deal. I would like to enjoy this movie in my home. If only that were possible using technology!

From The Local, an English-language Swedish paper:
On Sunday evening, Murray hit the town with some golfers who had participated in the Scandinavian Masters tournament. When the evening’s festivities at CafĂ© Opera drew to a close, he hopped into a golf cart and made a beeline for his hotel.
Soon however police asked the American actor to [...]

Rocket Arm. Boots next?

Here’s the rocket arm. Now where are my rocket boots? [www.vanderbilt.edu]

It has been Dethoner’s ongoing quest to cover all things bacon and I will continue that tradition with these bacon-flavored mints.
Each one of these mints tastes like a delicious slice of crispy bacon with just a hint of mint flavor to give it that extra punch!
They were even able to replicate crispy bacon? Wow, [...]

…comes the Hyperbike.
The circumference of an eight foot diameter wheel is roughly twenty-five feet and cadence, or the rate at which a person pedals, is most comfortable at a rate of 13 beats every 15 seconds. Gearing that allows an operator to rotate the wheels four times each pedal cycle, or at a [...]

If nothing else, putting together a big project like this gives you time to reconsider.

» Evidently a fan of Ebert’s is trying to help Mars breed the supreme race of M&Ms.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
M&Ms prove Darwin was right Thanks Ryan  # 0
