Destroyed moisture farm of Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru.  Burning corpses sold separately.

The action figures to go with the moisture farm

The Final Countdown - symphonic version

I was really hoping that Gob Bluth would be on the stage with them, but I don't know if the universe could have survived that combination. If you got that joke, take 15 gold stars from the petty cash located in the frozen banana stand.

Possibly the weirdest art exhibit I have ever seen

This artist created an art exhibit in Berlin where 99 realistic and lifelike wolves that are created from painted sheepskins and stuffed with hay and metal wires are jumping in a continuous line into a sheet of glass.

Weird stuff, but visually compelling.

Breaking the law, breaking the law!

Artist gets probation for building secret mall apartment

This is such a bizarre story. This guy and his friends secretly built an apartment inside a mall in Rhode Island, and lived there weeks at a time. They had furniture and a Play Station 2, and used the toilets in the mall. It's like the film "Career Opportunities" with Jennifer Connelly, taken a step further.

"Michael Townsend, 36, said he and seven other artists built the apartment in a 750-square-foot loft in the parking garage four years ago and lived there for up to three weeks at a time while documenting mall life"

Coming soon to a theater near you: WAR MONKEYS

A NEW MOVIE CALLED WAR MONKEYS??? I will be there opening night!!!



A screenwriter in Hollywood went into a film producers office and said (I'm paraphrasing here) "The story follows a janitor who, during a Christmas holiday, gets trapped in an underground research facility with military-trained Rhesus monkeys." The fact that it is set at Christmas makes this all sorts of nice. Trust me. "Snakes on a Plane" was a fun little film but military-trained Rhesus monkeys?? Are you kidding me?? That is great! They attack a janitor ... on Christmas? Even better! It's a good time to be a movie geek. :)

This story will take the horrible taste of the Phil Collins/Monkey Drummer/Cadbury chocolate ad out of my mouth.

Write messages on your toast

This new machine allows you to write a message on the top surface of the toaster. I am not sure how it all works, but that message is then toasted onto your bread. Completely useless, but cool.
