While Americans reel from the prospect of a $700 billion bailout, things are lookin’ up in Japan. The Japanese plan on building a space elevator for the relative bargain price of $9.5 billion. The carbon nanotubes needed to tether an orbiting satellite would have to be 4x as strong as currently available but given Japan’s financial commitment I have no doubt they’ll succeed. NASA on the other hand coughed up

People for the Ethical Treatment of animals (PETA) is known for churning out some pretty bizarre ideas but their latest is udder nonsense. According to PETA “The breast is best!” They’re urging Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to switch from cow’s milk to breast milk, which they claim is healthier and more humane (except for the actual humans of course). Ben & Jerry’s is refusing to kowtow to them but

Well that’s it, the election’s officially over. With the endorsement of white supremacist group the League of American Patriots (LAP), McKKKCain has got this thing locked up tighter than a black man in America. McCain’s LAP dogs are currently circulating fliers across Northern New Jersey that depict Barack Obama as Osama Bin Laden and ask “Do You Want A Black President?” Using what I can only assume is the scientific

Did you know: There’s never been a better time to be a geek. At least when it comes to TV, movies, games, anime, & comics (basically everything that matters to geeks). Don’t believe me? Just take a look at the TV guide or imdb… WAIT WHERE ARE YOU GOING!? No need to leave L7 World (like ever), like a true geek I’ve done your homework for you, and here’s what

School Rumble: Sangakki is finally out but if you were hoping for a more conclusive (read: better) ending than that of the manga, you’re outta luck. The 2-part OVA covers the last day of school before a sick Karasuma leaves for America and Tenma’s subsequent chasing after him. But it can hardly even be called an OVA (Original Video Animation) as there’s nothing original about it. In fact, rather than

More than 11 years after Cartoon Network unleashed the toon tsunami, known as Toonami, the tide has finally turned. Toonami ran for the final time on Saturday (9/20) and contrary to the goodbye message (video below) it ended not with a bang but a whimper. Over the years Toonami became more and more watered down. TOM was a dead man walking and apparently he was the only who didn’t know

It’s one of the year’s most anticipated games. And after constant delays Spore’s finally out! So does it live up to all the hype? Let’s put it this way: Get ready to save 50 bucks. Spore lets you to play God with people lives (and who doesn’t like that), but not in the smite the heathens & flood the world kind of way (read: the good way). You’re more like

Look out Leap-Frog & Stilt-Man there’s a Nuwa supervillain in town and she’s got what could quite possibly be the worst superpower ever: sedation! That’s right, she makes you sleepy. Nuwa (a name that’s suspiciously similar to numa, as in the numa numa kid) makes her first and likely last appearance in X-men: Manifest Destiny #1 where she is quickly dispatched by Boom Boom after she discovers Nuwa’s one weakness…

They say every man is the king of his castle (or at least they did until women-folk got all uppity) but one New Jersey resident took that idea to a whole new level. Emperor El Bey of the Abannaki Aboriginal Nation insists he doesn’t need the proper permits to keep horses on his property because… well because he’s a freaking emperor! And as such, his Trenton duplex is a sovereign

If there’s one thing I hate it’s the language police, and they’re at it again. Republicans are accusing Barack Obama of sexism after he had the audacity to use the expression “you can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.” Never mind he was referring to McCain’s brand of change and not Sarah Palin, words do not take on different meanings depending on who they are directed

Ladies is your seat belt unbearable? Well say hello to your new breast friend – Tiddy Bear! Tiddy Bear attaches securely to your seat belt and nestles snugly between your honey jugs, providing extra cushioning & preventing chafing. And just like their namesake Tiddy Bears come in pairs, just $14.95 plus a not-so-small S&H charge of $8.90. They always get you with that S&H, don’t they? But hey, it’s worth

Continuing the trend of kiddizing all American cartoons, Next Avengers takes place 12 years after the fall of the Avengers to Ultron; just long enough for their cheeky children to pick up their mantle and do what Earth’s mightiest heroes could not. Naturally the Lil’ Avengers just make things worse. Iron Man, the last surviving Avenger, has kept the kids safely hidden from Ultron that is until they discover and accidentally

You can keep your Superman and Batman. There’s a new hero in town and his name’s Shin-chan! Shin-chan isn’t your run-of-the-mill superhero he doesn’t sully his tiny hands with catching criminals who’d just escape anyway, instead he helps kids protect themselves from “bad adults” by teaching them to live in a constant state of fear. Shinjuku Shin-chan Patrol: Be Careful of Bad Adults might very well be the greatest PSA
