I guess in the tradition of “Will it Blend?” a company (Nobby Tech) decided to have a samurai cut through things while being filmed by their newest product: a high speed camera. Now… I probably don’t make enough in a year to afford this thing, but the videos are so badass.
Finally a feature that I’ve been wanting forever….

Quote from consumerist
This is a deep fryer that uses a goldfish tank with live goldfish. Oil and water don’t mix, so the 163 degree oil stays on top. The fish eat the greasy food flakes that fall through, stay away from the surface, and can happily live for 5-10 years.Someone should make a “green” fast-food joint where every machine fed back to the environment in a cool way like this; a “Zero Impact” McDonald’s of sorts. — BEN POPKEN

Yes. I know this is old. It’s still funny though.
Howdy folks…
Brief Highlights:
“The upshot is that the film is technically superb and quite enjoyable as long as you don’t bang your head against the plot. ”

It’s a fun movie, though not as fun as the 300. Sadly, it’s not as cold in New York as it is in Sparta, though I guess I’m really not that interested in the coldness of turtles. However, April seems to have discovered the fountain of youth, and is drawn like a less busty Lara Croft. Apparently she’s been going out with Casey Jones, who got a less creepy, and a lot more good looking as opposed to going for the Freddy Kruger look. My score: 66/100. Not great American cinema, but not something I would hate bringing a little brother to. Very Meh.
WoW Update: Reyia is now lvl 67. I’m planning on 70 by end of week. I hope.
Here I reach a crossroads with this toon. On the one hand, I like tanking. On the other hand… I’m probably better at healing… and probably more useful… decisions decisions.
Yes. It’s an awful spoof. But it made me smirk a bit so it’s going here.
BTW… The critics gave this move a 53 (source: Metacritic). I think it deserved at least a 55. I mean… It’s cold in Sparta!.

From an email that a friend of mine sent me:
Anyone who has small children or has been around them will appreciate this…….You all will like this one, especially if you’ve had kids!
This is my kindergartener’s artistic rendering of a pair of scissors. I wonder what his teacher thought. And I am so darned proud of myself - I allowed myself just a small smirk when I saw it. I waited until he was out of the room, before I started to cry from laughing so hard.
