A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you.

• The cast is filling out for the upcoming Fox sci-fi drama Fringe, produced by, amongst others, man of the hour J.J. Abrams. Sounds like it's going to be an X-Files type of thing. We're down with that.
• Speaking of J.J., the director of the Abrams-produced Cloverfield is already in talks to do a sequel.
• Seeing that the recent controversy about Mass Effect made previously unknown people famous, Lore Sjöberg hopes to get in on the action by promising to say completely false and nasty things about other video games. Hilarious. (Via Jill)
• A study inspired by an episode of Seinfeld has found that yes, double-dipping really does transfer bacteria. (Via Jill)
• "The man nominated to head public diplomacy at the State Department said Wednesday that al Qaeda is doing a better job than the Bush administration in winning friends over the Internet." Then again, Hitler could probably do a better job of winning friends than the Bush administration at this point. In eight years, who has the man not pissed off? (Via Jill)
• Believe it or not, it's been exactly a year to the day since "Aqua Teen Day" in Boston, and Bostonist is taking a fond look back.
• This Phillyist has a confession to make. That wasn't a chimp. It was me. I have a fever, and the only cure is Christina Ricci's breast.
• This may be the saddest post we've ever seen on Overheard in Philly.

• A video game based on the Saw movies is coming next year. Which isn't particularly surprising, but is still rather disappointing.
• Good news, everyone! Shigeru Miyamoto promises to make more Mario and Zelda games. Thank you, Mr. Miyamoto!
• Early registration for the big geek party of the year, the Penny Arcade Expo, has just opened to the public. If only it were on the east coast... (Via)
• Oh, good lord. MySpace is opening its system to developers on February 5th so people will be able to build applications for the site, like you already can for Facebook. Like MySpace pages need to be even more cluttered...
• You can now listen to the extremely popular music service Pandora without a web browser using Pandora's Box. (Via)
• Woo hoo! The Top 10 useless inventions of the 19th and 20th centuries. Our particular favorite: the balloon propelled by eagles or vultures.

• The most romantic gift possible for you and your geeky sweetheart: 8-bit dynamic life t-shirts. They each have six hearts on them, and if you're away from the owner of the other shirt, "your lit up heart level languishes at two and a half. Come within hugging distance though, and you rocket right up to six." Brilliant!
• We enjoy the amusing lounge covers of Richard Cheese as much as the next guy, but we're more than a little bit disturbed that director Zack Snyder is comparing his Watchmen film to Cheese's music.
• The latest Cinematical Seven: Hottest Sports Girls on Film. We love Rocky and all, but... Adrian? Hot? Um, no, sorry.
