Is it just me or does the new Cupola addition to the international space station look like it was ripped straight from a TIE Fighter?

Saw a whole display with Easter candy. What the heck? It’s freaking January!
Here is another crazy food website. The person who runs it buys fast food and then re-cooks it in a “fancy way.” For example that bowl of soup is made from 1 KFC Original Recipe two-piece Breast & Wing Meal, with biscuit and additional sides:
- 1 corn on the cob
- 1 order of potato wedges
- 1 order of cole slaw
- 1 large beverage of your choice
- 1 bottle of Aquafina water
- organic chives (for garnish and a touch of irony)
“This Is Why You’re Fat” is one of the most insane websites I’ve ever seen. They post pictures of realllyyyy bad food that people have made and eaten. So above we have:
- Double BBQ Burger Stack – Burger with two patties, pulled pork, BBQ sauce, bacon, cheese and slaw
- Bacon Infused Waffles – Waffles stuffed with bacon
- Bacon Cheese Muffins – Muffins baked with bacon & cheese topping and then stuffed with cheddar cheese.
This is pretty crazy and a clear sign that the whole TV industry is shifting. Ad rates for “The Simpsons” are higher for Hulu than they are on FOX (Same thing goes for “CSI”).
Marketers, who are now considering commitments for the 2009-2010 TV season, are willing to pay more because TV.com and Hulu.com, owned by investors including News Corp., NBC and Walt Disney Co., provide committed viewers who actively seek out shows. There are fewer commercials, and consumers are twice as likely to recall Web ads, Poltrack said, citing Nielsen.
I heard Pizza Hut was trying to rebrand itself as “The Hut,” which I found amusing because I’m sure Jabba The Hutt probbally got fat by eating at The Hut. So I headed over to Pizza Hut’s site and laughed hysterically when one of their flash ads made it look like they were advertising “fats.”
A kid in Shaker Heights, Ohio managed to hide the “F” word on the front cover of his high school yearbook.
Shaker Heights High School administrators discovered the hidden obscenity in an student’s creative rendition of the school’s “Red Raider” mascot – which was used as the cover art for the school yearbook. The schools’ principal sent a letter to parents with an apology from the offending artist, who has already graduated.
“Pop” star Katy Perry doesn’t want Australasian Designer Katie Perry using her born name because it sounds too much like Katy’s name. That’s just messed up.
The pop star’s record label, EMI, sent a cease-and-desist order to the designer, who recently opened an outlet in Sydney, Australia. They claim that the names are too “similar”, and that Katy Perry’s brand name must be protected
I laughed out loud at several of the jokes/references when watching this.
I’m not even joking. they are really going to attack the moon!
In an unprecedented scientific endeavor — and what may be one of the coolest space missions ever — NASA is preparing to fly a rocket booster into the moon, triggering a six-mile-high explosion that scientists hope will confirm the presence of water.
A wrongful termination lawsuit (by that Fox News reporter who was fired for reviewing the leaked “Wolverine” movie) claims that it was Scientologist who leaked “Wolverine” online. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say this was the plot to a “South Park” episode.
A student at N.C. State was arrested for making a construction barrel monster. The student is a known local artist who has done other grafti-like projects.
Raleigh police arrested a North Carolina State University student last week who was accused of creating a “monster” out of construction barrels and placing it on the side of the road. Authorities charged Joseph Carnevale with larceny for taking materials from a construction site at a roundabout project to create the monster.
Six Flags is filing for bankruptcy, but apparently it won’t affect the theme parks.
The filing will not affect the operation of the company’s 20 parks in the United States, Mexico and Canada, said spokeswoman Sandra Daniels. “This restructuring will have no impact on families who come out to our parks. They will not see an inch of difference,” Daniels said.
