Just in time for Halloween there’s a brand new L7 World webcomic: American Dad – Halloween Special. At least I hope it’ll be done in time. What started as a 3 panel short on Klaus has turned into 10 spooktacular (yeah I said it) panels. Now I “just” have to scan them, do the line art, and color them (flash). So don’t expect any updates till that’s done. Oh and

Women are getting shorter and fatter (and not just American women). Contrary to popular opinion, humans are still evolving says Professor Stephen Stearns, an evolutionary biologist at Yale University. Stearns headed a 60-year study of more than 2,000 women and found that shorter, fatter women who reproduce younger and enter menopause later have more children and pass on those traits. He predicts that by 2409 the average woman will be

It seems Mario has become so frustrated with constantly having to save her royal highness that he’s decided to cheat with Luigi! New Super Mario Bros. Wii promises to be one of the most difficult games yet according to Designer Shigeru Miyamoto. But Miyamoto doesn’t want to alienate casual gamers so he’s created an innovative help mode called “Super Guide” that lets players cheat by having a computer controlled-Luigi beat

This November the caped crusader trades in his utility belt for a gun belt in Batman/Doc Savage Special, a prologue to a 6-issue “pulp-influenced” miniseries by Brian Azzarello. This won’t be the first time Batman has packed heat but that was before his mythos was fully established so it’ll be interesting to see how Azzarello squares a gun toting hero with the gunning down of his own parents. And Batman’s

Better late than never. After half a dozen Saw movies, torture porn finally gets interactive with Saw: The Videogame. And there’s no need to worry about any possible spoilers though as it takes place during the very first movie and both of the game’s 2 endings are non-canonical. “Want to play a game?” Too bad, you don’t have a choice. The serial killer known as Jigsaw has kidnapped you (Detective

A new CNN poll shows 56% of Americans disapprove of the Norwegian Nobel Committee’s decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to President Obama. Committee chairman, Thorbjorn Jagland, defends the decision saying “He got the prize for what he has done,” which at the time of Obama’s unanimous nomination (Feb 1) was diddly. But while the world may not be safer, it is “less tense” according to Jagland. Righttt… Exactly

Life’s never been better for Danny Wormwood. He’s a big-time TV exec who’s killing the competition. His girlfriend forgave him for cheating on her. And his pal’s making a miraculous recovery from a traumatic brain injury. Did I mention he’s the Antichrist? As such, bad things tend to gravitate towards him. Wormwood’s business rival has found some supernatural talent. His girlfriend is pregnant with… well, who knows what. Oh, and

People have long suspected the “Boy Wonder” of playing for the other team (and I’m not talking the Injustice League) – well wonder no longer! Robin finally came out of the cave in Detective Comics Annual #11. A disguised Robin is being held captive by some demons in the sewer. After he reveals himself, he escapes through a MANHOLE! But upon coming out he is assaulted by a succubus. He

Haunt is the latest comic from fan-favorites Robert Kirkman (creator of The Walking Dead) and Todd McFarlane (creator of Spawn). It’s about a priest who’s possessed by his brother’s ghost. What’s really scary though is his costume, which looks like it’s made out of splooge! In order to transform he pukes up goo that envelopes him. I know it’s supposed to be ectoplasm but onomatopoeia like “SPAK” “SPAK” “SPAK” doesn’t

Marge Simpson is celebrating 20 years on TV (not including The Tracey Ullman Show) by letting her hair down in the November issue of Playboy (on sale Oct 16). But don’t plan on getting an answer to that age old question ‘does the carpet match the drapes?’ There will only be “implied nudity.” Not surprising considering “The Marge Simpson pics were shot by Homer,” according to Hugh Hefner. However magazine

As if beauty pageants didn’t look enough like a collection of Barbie dolls, now there’s one that requires contestants to have had plastic surgery. The winner even gets their very own dream house – an apartment in Budapest! Miss Plastic Hungary was designed to bust misconceptions that cosmetic corrections are all about oversized breasts, bulbous lips and skin stretched to near tearing point. The participants were judged on the naturalness

Can you believe it, the granddaddy of energy drinks that kept us awake through some of the most tedious tasks (school, work, blogging) is heading for a major crash! Jolt Cola’s parent company Wet Planet has filed for bankruptcy. They blame the recession and say their new (at least it’s new to me) resealable cans cost them nearly 3x as much as the old kind. Well Duh! Who drinks half

The Grudge continues with two Direct-to-DVD releases: Ju-on: Shiroi Roujo (Grudge: Old Lady in White) & Ju-on Kuroi Shoujo (Grudge: Girl in Black). The movies are short (1 hr ea.) and like the previous (Japanese) movies are told through a series of even shorter interconnecting stories. The actual movies though are only vaguely connected in that the Girl in Black ends in the house that spawned the original grudge while

We may never see a full moon again. NASA plans to crash a rocket into the Moon’s south pole. The rocket will hit the force of 2 metric tons of TNT and launch an estimated 350 tons of debris into space, some of which NASA hopes is water. At a transportation cost of $10,000 per pound, water is a precious commodity in space. Dr. Anthony Colaprete, the mission’s lead scientist,

It’s not another Ebonics faux pas courtesy of Fox News. Barack Obama really does have a baby mama – Bomb Queen! In a new 4-part  miniseries titled Oh-Bomb-Ah!, President Obama vows to close the supervillain-run New Port City. Unlike the previous president, the saintly Obama can’t be blackmailed into looking the other way or as the Bomb Queen so eloquently puts it, he’s “cleaner than jerking off with a vacuum
