Let’s face it, death isn’t pretty but just because you’re rotting in your own juices is no reason not to look fabulous on your way to the morgue. This pink body bag is to die for. But don’t swallow those pills just yet. You won’t find this designer bag in stores. The J-shaped body bag is part of an exhibit dedicated to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, called “Still Remains.” Designer Sarah

Everyone knows sex is great to work up a sweat so why not design exercise equipment around it? Telebrands newest infomercial (video below) promises to help women get rid of those unsightly flabby arms that double as wind sails by literally shaking the weight away. The Shake Weight uses “Dynamic Inertia” (it vibrates) to create resistance as you desperate try to keep it away from your face. In just 6

Scientists have known for years that injecting oxidized ATP into the spinal cord immediately after an injury prevents ATP, chemicals that fuel our cells, from flooding and killing surrounding healthy cells. But doctors are reluctant to put a needle into a spinal cord that has just been severely injured and oxidized ATP can’t be injected into the bloodstream because of its dangerous side effects. However, a new study from the

Organizing for America (OFA) is hoping to rush health care reform through by pressuring senators with a new twitter campaign. Tweet Your Senator generates a pre-written messages based on your zip code such as: “To Sen. Frank Lautenberg: Please support meaningful health insurance reform now http://bit.ly/3133JC #hc09 #NJ #07748″ It remains to be seen how effective the messages will be as most senators don’t have Twitter accounts. Twitters can also

Leave it to the Japanese to take something as simple as a smile and turn it upside down with technology. Everyday before punching in for work, employees of the Keihin Express Railway get in line to have their smiles analyzed by a computer. Smile Scan measures the curve of the mouth and gives a score ranging from 0% to 100%. Sourpusses get feedback like “you still look too serious.” There’s

It’s been a long time coming, anime has been influencing comics and cartoons for decades. And now Marvel is taking the plunge with 4 new anime style series: Iron Man, Wolverine, X-Men, & Blade. Marvel unveiled the first trailers for Wolverine & Iron Man series at Comic-Con this weekend (video below), but don’t plan on seeing them anytime soon. Not only won’t they be coming out until next year, they’ll

No it’s not the highly anticipated sequel unveiled at Comic-Con this weekend. It’s a hilarious new web series by Ben Hansford about an older but not necessarily wiser Tron. The episodes, which average about a minute in length, reveal what life’s really like inside of a computer: boring! It’s exponentially better than the original and I think you’ll agree after watching it that Tron needs no reboot. Watch the first

Green Lantern’s light isn’t shining as nearly bright as it used to in this new take on a classic origin. It’s bad enough that they cut out the death of Hal Jordan’s father but they barely touch on Hal’s fearlessness, which is kinda important considering it’s the whole reason he’s chosen to become a Green Lantern! While fearlessly hot-dogging in an Air Force flight simulator, Hal is abducted by strange

Over the years the Doctor has perhaps best demonstrated the space inside the TARDIS with his seeming inexhaustible wardrobe of bad clothes. The last 2 Doctors were the exception, but Matt Smith is bringing unsexy back with his uncanny impersonation of the quintessential loser George McFly from Back to the Future. He’s even got himself a redheaded companion whose fashion  seems equally behind the times. Then again given the nature

Blackest Night is finally here and with it the return of long dead characters as zombies! But it’s not the adversaries of the past that you need to worry about, it’s the loves lost. That’s because unlike traditional zombies, Black Lanterns want your heart not your brains. Perhaps the most earth-shattering zombie will be revealed in Blackest Night: Superman #2. September’s solicitations proclaim, “Superman’s dead bride returns as a Black

When news broke earlier this week that the military was developing an Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot (EATR) that “can find, ingest, and extract energy from biomass in the environment (and other organically-based energy sources),” it immediately conjured grisly thoughts about what exactly fueled this robotic vulture. Fox News surmised that the biomass might include the ample supply of dead bodies that litter the battlefield. Needless to say, when it comes

Unlike the friendly and purely fictional genies of the Western world, jinns (as they’re called in the Middle East) are very real and kinda dicks. At least that’s what one family in Saudi Arabia is claiming. They’ve filed a lawsuit against a genie that’s been haunting them for the past 2 years. This unfriendly ghost has stolen their cell phones and left them threatening voicemails with their own phones no

A new study published in the journal NeuroReport finds that swearing increases pain tolerance, especially in women. British college students were asked to hold their hands in cold water for as long as they could while either repeating a neutral word like brown or square to describe the table or their favorite curse word with the “S” & “F” words being the most popular. Men who cursed held out 35%

Everyone’s favorite giant space chicken makes an appearance at the G8 summit to weigh in on the housing crisis, literally! Don’t worry if your haven’t seen the 60s classic The X from Outer Space. It’s not so much a sequel, as it is an excuse to make the G8 seem ineffectual. Even the one nod to the original movie, is really just knock at the Chinese who accidentally bring Girara

After six missions to Mars are shot down by a UFO, the Fuji Astronautical Flight Center (FAFC) decides to send yet another crew to their certain doom because Mars is just that awesome [sarcasm]. Not surprisingly our heroes fare slightly better thanks to their new experimental nuclear-powered spaceship the AAB-Gamma AKA Astro-Boat. And although they never make it to Mars, they do manage to survive their encounter with the UFO
