How do we keep falling behind China?

The rest of this video isn't that entertaining, but just look at all the solar powered water heaters on the roofs. Water Heating is about 15% of your daily household energy costs, and these guys have converted almost their entire city to solar. damn.

And now for the uber-morbid

Or the classic:

Of course!!

Talk about your easily accomplished warnings. This is something I'd do anyways. No way I'm going to be the first kill in the imminent robot-uprising. Don't you imagine the first kill is the most sloppy, anyways, just like the first pancake of the batch. I'm going to take a pass and agree to let the robot ride solo.

(interesting side-theory: The "robot" in question is the android-baby that wicked-old christian slater is holding.)

Must Owns

No lie, I'd love to own either of these.

Also, did you know you can nominate tweets to be made into shirts by Threadless? Snap to it, people!!

not a MUST have, but a would-be-nice-to-get

Fallout propaganda shirt.

Add this to your Calendar, NOW!!1

Bruno, in theaters, July 10th. (HD Trailer)

It's Inevitable

Join the spiral now, or you'll be left behind.

Fantastic Combo

Two of my great loves

- comic books
- street art

(yes, I know that's like geek paired with punk/hip-hop, but I'll pull it off just like Pharell does)

Anyways, found this image on @Agent_M's blog and had to recycle. (see how I'm helping the environment right now, too?)

(seriously, it is helping the environment, because me showing this to you online means the artist won't have to paint another one closer to you just so your greedy-ass can see it, thus saving on paint and reducing VOC's in our air. you're fucking welcome)

Some Sinatra to get you through the day.

Listening to this makes me think I'm in a Billy Crystal movie, but hey, it works. Happy Friday everyone.

Ten Crazy Disturbing Books

Of this list, I've only read "The Road", and that was fucked-up enough. I also have to say, the after-affect of "Johnny Got His Gun" is probably my #1 fear in life.

Pretty sure I'm totally addicted to

Okay, I'll conceed this point

This one and the one with a kitten wearing a lime for a helmet are the only two cute kitten pictures ever taken. Everything else makes me want to puke on someone's face. (preferrably a Mets fan; I imagine they're into that sort of thing)

Q: When was there a hotter villain?

A: uh...I dunno

Yes, I've also been feeling congested this week

On my Must Get List

As if you couldn't guess from the image above, X-MEN: Magneto's Testament in hardcover. Out today, this book looks amazing.

After all, Magneto was right. (Yes, I do NEED to own the t-shirt those guys have, but near as I can tell, they are only home-made so far.)

The Most Effective Turn-the-Fuck-Around Sign, ever!!

See how the zombie bastards try to ambush you?

They make the next block look all lush and green and inviting, especially compared to the hideously-colored grass on your current block, which I can only describe as Detroit-Autumn-Sludge. Trying to make me think a nap under that tree would be a good idea, huh? Guess what, I don't want to wake-up Undead!! I see right through your fake tail-lights up ahead, too, zombie.

Better luck next time, I'm going to flip one and find another route to the Taco Bell. Peace.

Well....

Since I already own (and proudly display at work) the Mighty Muggs Wolverine in the old-school yellow get-up, I'm going to dub this new one the Broke-Backy Wolverine and take a pass. Seriously, the hat is removable, but when would anyone really be able to get close enough to take Wolverine's hat off?

(and the top one has a sword? department of redundancy department in effect)

Does it get more bad-ass than this?

Preview cover of tomorrow's Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk. Woot!

Whoa, I DO need these..

Awesome list & gallery of potential models for our future robot overlords. Though, in honesty, the seeing-eye dog robot is definitely needed, today!

It's official: Jon & Kate +8 is terrorizing my domicile, and i'm pretty sure this is why NE is afraid of kids.
