Amortised superhero futures

The clear solution to this one. (More of that sort of cutting edge analysis.)

Of course, that pales in comparison to this lot. This did annoy me when I saw the film. (Although they're not nearly as clever as they think they are. Includes suspicious
Grand Unified theory of Schwarzenegger.)

Let's drink to all the Russian gas
For those extracting the new sun
From down beneath the ground”

Thanks to Chris M.

Put your ipod touch to better use…

By strapping it to a US army sniper rifle, and using it as a ballistics calculator:

Oh yes. from Jungle Dave via The Firearm Blog. The makers claim it’s in use on the battlefields in Irag and fanistan.

The Daily Mash

You know, I'm sure I checked out this site a couple of years ago, and wasn't that impressed. Thanks to Leila for rekindling the faith

DON'T PANIC BUT YOU ARE GOING TO DIE:

"Professor Brubaker added: "The world is paying the inevitable price for years of unprotected pig sex."

TAX ACCOUNTANTS ORDER NEW BENTLEYS

"Meanwhile economists and art historians last night congratulated Mr Darling for presenting Britain's first ever surrealist budget.
Bill McKay, deputy director of the Tate Modern, said: "None of it makes sense. Not a single word. It was a very brave thing to do."

VERY BIG TERROR PLOT NOT VERY BIG OR TERRIFYING OR A PLOT, ADMIT POLICE

"A spokesman for home secretary Jacqui Smith said: "Embarrassed? No, we're way, way beyond embarrassment at this stage.
"That's a bit like asking a streaker if he's embarrassed because he hasn't shaved."

BRITAIN'S ONLY SHOP MAKES ENORMOUS PROFIT

"Meanwhile The Shop has continued its popular advertising campaign of pretending there are other shops where all the things are more expensive. Emma Bradford, a council worker from Stevenage who spends all her money at The Shop, said: "The Shop is so much cheaper than Asda and Sainsbury's so I'm not surprised they never even existed."

Fox's finest

Wouldn't play it at a wedding, but this is quite catchy. (For the curious, the original)

Also it seems we didn't take the hint, and trouble may ensue.

Child Predator Hands

I have no idea wether or not this is disappointing

And if Harry can post links to crazy* physics papers, then so can I.

(* in this case, that should be read "kerayzeee")

Best seen in context of the several other my little pony mods available here:  http://www.marikasurinen.com/sculptures_main.html, including the disturbingly attractive my-little-pony-slave-princess-leia

George, who should be credited with these finds, would also like to point out:

"women: you can't live with 'em.  You can't live without 'em. But you can live within them - for a few months."

Where was I?

I feel that, for form's sake, an Aliens link must always be prepended. Did you hear about J G Ballard's novelisation? No? Didn't think so.

Anyway, I think I had a point. Maybe Machine Girl knows?
