Photo of Earth From Rings of Saturn 900 Million Miles Away

The tiny arrow in the below photo is pointing at Earth.  The picture was taken by the Cassini space probe.  How cool is this that?


And here's close up picture from the same series of photos that shows both the Earth and the Moon:

The Best Thing In The World...

...is sometimes just a peanut butter sandwich made by someone else.  And if there's some jelly in there somewhere that's pretty cool.

Funny/Great Montage of Dance In Movies

I was really surprised how many of these clips I recognized from some movie I really like, don't think of many of these movies as having "dance numbers," and I loved the sitcom that the video ends with:

May the 4th Be With You

In honor of Star Wars Day (May the 4th be with you, you get it?) here's some Darth Vader funnies

Science Or Science Fiction? Faster Than Light Communication...

...albeit between two quantum entangled particles, the following has been proven:

"The results from the new experiment confirm one of the wildest predictions of quantum mechanics: that a pair of "entangled" particles, once measured, can somehow instantly communicate with each other so that their states always match."

No matter how far apart?  How about 310 miles apart?  The implications are amazing.  So if we can ever travel great distances faster than the speed of light, can this phenomenon be used somehow to communicate instantaneously across great distances?

Speaking of Star Wars...

Patton Oswalt did a great, hilarious improvised bit that was Star Wars/Marvel-centric to say the least on Parks & Recreation:

Greatest Custom License Plate Ever? Uh, Yeah...

I Will Not Be Pulling Any of These April Fools Day Pranks on Family or Friends (Or Will I?)

Some Very Funny Unfunny Stuff...

Here's a clip of a very funny, unfunny stand-up routine from Britain's Got Talent:



Which of course made me think of the one of the funniest unfunny bits ever, Norm MacDonald's roast of Bob Saget:

Outtakes from Bob Saget Roast 1 - watch more funny videos

And I was watching an episode of Supernatural when I was posting the above and the episode ended with the song Dear Mr. Fantasy, a song I really like, so, for a non-sequitur, here's that:

Not science fiction: faster than light warp drive goes from "impractical to plausible"...

...according to a scientist as NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.  In fact they're going to do a small table-top experiment to test the theory, an "existence of proof" of the idea.  Life/science imitating art/science fiction much?

Guardians of the Galaxy Movie, yeah, I'm pretty geeked about this...

...especially since James Gunn (writer/director of Slither, favorite of mine) is set to direct it and Chris Pratt (star of Zero Dark Thirty and Parks & Recreation) is set to star in the lead role as Star-Lord/Peter Quill.

Anyone else remember the Battleship Yamato from the TV cartoon Star Blazers (from the anime show Space Battleship Yamato) from the late 1970's?

Kept on forgetting to put these up.  The SciFi Expo in DFW was a few weekends ago.  I had never been to any type of science fiction or comic book convention before.  It was awesome.  Needless to say I plan on going to the DFW ComicCon in May.  Here's a pic from the SciFi Expo, a few more will follow:

Ben Affleck to Matt Damon: Suck it Jason Bourne, I have one more Oscar than you do!*

*at least that's what I hoped he would have said in his acceptance speech.

For You Comic Book Geeks From the 1980's...

Here's a great site that takes a fond look back of the greatness produced by Marvel in the 1980's:

And here's a great "what if" site that features covers created by the blog's author from a wishlist of team-ups that never were a la Brave and the Bold and Marvel Team-Up:

Post December 21, 2012 Joke

I swear I made up the below post 12-21-12 knock-knock joke (why would I lie about making up such a bad joke?).

- Knock, knock.

- Who's there?

- Maya.

- Maya who?

- Maya calendar seems to have stopped, do you have the date?

The Sloppy Swish

This cracks me up every time I watch it:

Do You Think They've Changed????

(this is a re-post from 10-20-08)

Mindy Green (featured in the first clip) is going to vote, does that scare anyone else besides me? It shouldn't matter if you are a Democrat or Republican or Independent, the type of ignorance displayed by some the people in the below clips should be combated at every turn by everyone.
