Across the Ist-a-Verse
The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment.
- Food Network picked the best burger available in each state, including, of course, PA and NJ.
- The trailer for G.I. Joe. We still don't know if we can trust the director of The Mummy, and we think it's a little lame that they felt it necessary to give all the Joes Iron Man suits, but this still looks like it could be a cool movie. (Via)
- Apparently today is Star Wars Day. Celebrate by making a Death Star Piñata. (Via)
- The top 10 greatest mentally ill superheroes (via), the top 10 most extraordinary Twitter updates (via), and 10 American actors who could play Doctor Who (via).
- Where to go to get swine flu info online.
- Some not-so-subtle lessons learned from Star Trek, a pretty amusing Star Trek shirt, a McDonalds ad from 1979 featuring a Klingon (it's advertising the Star Trek: The Motion Picture Happy Meal), a Klingon Burger King, and a beaded curtain that looks like a holodeck (via).
- You can watch the fan film The Hunt for Gollum now on Dailymotion. (Via)
- Super Punch has some exciting entertainment news links for us: J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof might be working on a film adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower series, and Coldplay will be offering their new live album for free online on May 15th.
- A Flickr user has started a set of illustrations mashing up Lost with Star Trek. There's only one entry so far, but it's a fun idea that has promise. (Via)
- Somehow a bending laser developed by researchers could lead to the ability to direct lightning, and make future particle accelerators smaller. Science is crazy. (Via)
- The commercial for Slap Chop, remixed into a rap song. (Via)
- Yay! The Dracula blog is starting up again! You can also follow it via Twitter.
- Crispin Glover just joined the cast of Hot Tub Time Machine.
- The release date for the inFamous demo.
- A new widget connects Twitter and World of Warcraft. Also, Sarah Palin's Twitter background.
- Custom Phoenix Wright sneakers.
- A real FEMA coloring book, and a parody. The coloring book has an admirable goal—to help children deal with tragedy and disaster—but it seems a bit... odd.
- X-ray photos of video games, consoles, and controllers.
- A supposed photo of the Xbox 360 motion-sensing peripheral.
- The trailer for Brütal Legend. \m/
- The film adaptation of The Road will be released on October 16th.
- The second part of the International Society of Supervillains' May movie preview.
- A couple of brutally sarcastic tourism videos for Cleveland. (Via)
- A car painted to be invisible.
- Scientists extracted what could be considered dinosaur blood from some fossils.
- How does this kind of thing keep happening? Dude bought what he thought was a MacBook Pro, but when he opened the box all that was inside was a brick.
- A rather unique way of getting out of jury duty.
- A deeply wrong commercial for White Castle pulled pork sandwiches. (Via)
- There's an American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Robots. So we've got that covered.
- Huh. We thought .tv was just a domain that referred to television or something, but apparently it's the official domain of the island of Tuvalu... an island which is sinking.
