In the latest of a long line of military vehicle abuse, Prince William showed off for his girlfriend, Kate Middleton, by landing a Royal Air Force Chinook helicopter in her font yard. The Ministry of Defense defended it saying “This was very much a routine training sortie that achieved essential training objectives” such as fitting into tight places. Making the mission doubly successful!

Outer space is littered with debris, from dust-sized particles to satellite remnants the size of cars. All of it orbiting the Earth at speeds in excess of 17,500 mph. And should any pieces larger than a softball hit a working satellite… well let’s just say it won’t be working anymore. Some scientists have suggested adding tethers or guidance systems to satellites in order guide them into the atmosphere, where they

New research out of England suggests that skipping breakfast increases the chances of giving birth to a girl. Conversely, high calorie nutrient-rich diets are more likely to result in a boy. Researchers at Exeter University asked 740 first-time pregnant women to provide records of their eating habits before and during the early stages of pregnancy. Those with the highest energy intakes at conception produced sons 56% of the time, but

Despite outspending Hillary Clinton 3 to 1, Barack Obama was decisively defeated in the Pennsylvania primary, Tuesday. No doubt a result of his portraying Pennsylvanians as bitter hillbillies who “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them.” Ironically, when Barack offered his congratulations to Hillary not only did his supporters not applaud they bitterly booed. And speaking of bitter, Nora Ephron of the Huffington Post

The Webcomics section grows ever larger with a brand spanking new Beetle Bailey comic! (it’s so funny you may forget to laugh)

Riddle me this: What’s shiny & just sorta lies there; if you wanna turn it on you’re gonna need money & lots of lube for a smooth ride. No not Paris Hilton. It’s the Superman Kiddie ride! You literally mount Superman from the rear, and ride him as he rocks his buns of steel back & forth. Only in its heyday (circa 1950) could this monstrosity not have been considered

By day Keisuke is a mild-manner schoolteacher but by night he “rights wrongs through penetration” as Rapeman! Sure he might sound like a big dick but once you get past that whole raping women thing he’s actually a really good guy. Keisuke and his uncle Shotoku run the Rape agency, a sort of perverted A-team, and if you can find them and you’ve got a rape-worthy offense then maybe you

Whenever you see a news story on deformed people, they always call them “medical” marvels or “medical” mysteries but rarely does the actual medical science behind these stories get as much coverage as the shocking photos/video or the sad backstory. They’re reduced to little more than an oddity to gawk at and thank God it ain’t you. If you have any doubts to the voyeuristic nature of these so-called medical

The folks at Telebrands, creators of those “amazing” As Seen on TV products, have topped themselves once again with their latest innovation – HD Vision Wraparounds.   These ain’t your daddy’s glasses!   Not only do they conveniently “wrap around” your prescription glasses unlike those clumsy clip-on sunglasses; they actually enhance colors thanks to “HD Vision Technology.” Take that 20/20 vision!   Now if you’re anything like the actors in

Absolut Vodka’s latest ad campaign entitled “In An Absolute World” advocates returning the United States border to its pre-Mexican-American War status. After receiving numerous boycott threats of Vin & Spirits issued the following half-hearted apology “As a global company, we recognize that people in different parts of the world may lend different perspectives or interpret our ads in a different way than was intended in that market, and for that

No you haven’t hit a time warp. Doctor Who’s old (circa 1973) traveling companion Sarah Jane is saving the Earth from aliens again but this time she’s all on her own. At least she was until a nosy neighbor moves next door. Next thing she knows, Sarah is inundated with pint-sized sidekicks. If Torchwood is the adult version of Doctor Who, then The Sarah Jane Adventures is the kiddie version.

It’s a love story as old as time: boy meets girl, girl reveals she’s boy’s long-lost daughter, boy and girl conceive mutant baby. Aussies John & Jenny Deaves were fined $500 and given 3 years probation after being found guilty on two counts of incest. One for each of their children. The couple went on 60 Minutes this week to defend their relationship, pointing to their baby as a sign

A new page is up on the Family Guy webcomic. I’ve started dividing it up into acts so you won’t have to click through a lot of pages you’ve already seen (and waste my bandwidth)

Scientists at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, have reinvented the internet. It’s called “the grid” and it’s 10,000 times fast than conventional broadband. But don’t disconnect your modem just yet. The grid won’t go online until the summer and when it does it’ll be busy recording the 56 million CDs worth of data generated from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a new particle accelerator built to probe the
