1. Termination One of the most anticipated new television shows coming next season is The Sarah Connor Chronicles, a series placed in James Cameron's Terminator world, about the Young John Connor and his mother. An advance trailer for the show has been released on youtube. Who wants to bet on whether is sucks or not?

2. Hypocrite, They Name is Migden State Senator Carole Migden, one of the proponents of a new law banning cell phone usage while driving, was involved in a minor fender bender in which she rear-ended another vehicle. The accident was caused because she was, get this, using her cell phone.

3. Celestial Bodies I tried to get a picture of the moon and Venus similar to this one, but alas, my camera blows.

4. Great Dane Gibson, the World's Tallest Dog.

5. Overpaid The dude that bid $10 million on John Schneider's original General Lee can't really afford it. Here's your chance to get in on the action. This time around, Schneider and ebay are demanding that potential bidders register and prove their ability to come up with the cash before bidding. Good luck.

1. Drive-In Another invitation to those that know me or live near me or want to travel. The double feature on Friday May 4th will be The Day The Earth Stood Still followed by Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey. Hopefully it won't rain out.

2. Love Intended as an learning aid for prospective heart patients, this interactive 3-D model of the human heart is pretty fun to play around with.

3. Four Inches Tall Although I can't find any evidence of Garth Brooks recording Tiny Dancer, I did uncover a Tim McGraw album which features a cover of the Elton John classic. Anyway, the point is this: Stop reporting on "the worlds smallest dogs" until they are at least a year old and thereby eligible to be considered fro the title.

4. Fake Cancer/Real Donations I've always wondered about those donation buckets you sometimes see on the counters of fast food restaurants.

5. Mosquitotone The world leader in innovative television commercials, KFC, is using weird high pitched subliminal noises supposedly only noticed by teenagers in their new ads. I heard it fine, and I'm no teenager.

1. Drive: Apparently Dead Although not officially confirmed, it looks like Fox has once again canceled a promising new series from Tim Minear. They aired three episodes in two days. Is it really surprising that the ratings weren't great?

2. Balloon Bass How to make a bass guitar using nothing but inflatable balloons.

3. Oral Mechanic The headlines are saying he performed dentistry on "patients" in his garage, but it sounds to me like Roger Bean was just fashioning home-made dentures. If he didn't cut or drill into anybody, was he really practicing dentistry without a license?

4. Jack Valenti: Dead After a long time term as president of the Motion Picture Association of America, Jack Valenti, the man probably most responsible for the "self censorship" of Hollywood since Joseph Breen, died at the age of 85 due to stroke complications.

5. Face Eater And lastly, a set of photos chronicling one man's attempt to eat his own face.

1. Solar Eclipse This is a really awesome video of the moon passing in front of the face of the sun. From Earth the moon and sun are virtually the same size. This video, however, was filmed from the Stereo-B, a satellite/spacecraft in orbit around the sun.

2. The Bishop Why haven't I heard about this unibomber-esque guy sending threatening letters and poorly constructed pipe bombs to the nation's financial institutions?

3. Operation Paperclip Would we have ever made it to the moon without the assistance of Wernher Von Braun and other Nazi scientists? America today might be an entirely different place had it not been for their influence. Plus, isn't Operation Paperclip an awesome codename? If you can't ignore the illuminati bullshit, the Wikipedia entry has most of the same information.

4. Jackalope The creepy, disgusting symptoms of a virus lead to the legend of the Wyoming thistled hare.

5. Smurf Amperestunde, jetzt diese ist sehr sehr das Smurfing gut.

2. Melt Bavarian furniture designers, AF GmbH, have designed crazy disposable patio furniture made of vegetable matter. By subscribing to their furniture program you can just dissolve your old chairs when you get tired of them and then replace them with a new design.

3. Hepatitis How to build a tattoo gun out of an eclectic toothbrush, a mechanical pencil, and a guitar string. I HIGHLY recommend not using this device to give tattoos to yourself or others.

1. Rhino Rumpus Disney's Animal Kingdom black rhino exhibition was the scene of a strange spectacle when two workers had a bit of an argument.

4. Intestinal Here's a weird looking game that reminds me of a tape worm working its way through the digestive system. Even the levels that are supposed to be easy seem pretty hard to me.

5. Illusion de Opticale Being in the right place at the right time really paid off for some of these photographers. Pay no attention to the touristy crap photos though.

Including such things as, "Those little toothpaste speckles you make when you brush your teeth in front of the mirror."

2. Periodic Print Project Etsy seller, Jennifer Schmitt. has come up with a great way to combine the world of art with the world of science and added in a bit of communal effort to make her project that much better. She is taking contributions for a hand printed periodic table of elements. Each artist designs a 6x6 inch print for an element and eventually they will be combined into one giant table. There are a few elements left unclaimed, so if you are a printmaker, and would like to get involved, do so before they are all snatched up.

3. Spielberg Power! Steven Spielberg flexed a little bit of his muscle recently by convincing the Motion Picture Association of America to reconsider the R-Rating they slapped on the upcoming Micheal Bay Transformers movie. Without demanding any edits whatsoever, the MPAA dropped the rating down to a PG-13 after spending a few minutes alone in a small room with Mr. Spielberg.

4. Io Silver Io, one of Jupiter's most prominent moons has volcanoes on its surface and we have the pictures to prove it.

5. Speaking of Swamp Thing This filthy Chinese bastard finally washed his hair after 26 years. 26 freaking years! I feel like a goddamn swamp thing if I skip even a single day.

2. And the Plague Spreads Rachel Ray is taking over the world. Some people would like you to be carefuller about which shows you watch.

3. Sweet Sweet Fuhrer If there are two things that Croatians love best, they are pure cane sugar, and genocide.

4. Good Forgiving People or Ignorant Saps? Ted Haggard charged a bunch of people a lot of money to tell them that homosexuality was wrong. Meanwhile, he was patronizing a male prostitute. Now those same people are giving him even more "financial support" to help him get back on his rich, rich feet.

Bus Ball Like most of the coolest things in the world, the coolest Volkswagen Bus is owned by Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top.
