The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. The latest Wallace and Gromit movie is the source for this great YouTube music video for "Hocus Pocus" by Focus. (Via) Scientists are experimenting with bacteria that eat agricultural waste and excrete crude oil. Sounds too good to be true. As usual, Scott Adams puts a hilarious spin on the story.

Woah, we almost forgot! It's Wizard World this weekend! Starting today and running through Sunday, June 1st, the convention for all things geeky will be taking over the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. The Smithsonian Magazine has an interesting article about a museum of bogus artwork in Italy. (Via Jill) A pic of Goku from the Dragonball Z movie. It's been recorded rather poorly, but this Dark Knight TV spot is still pretty cool. Check out Nerd World's hilarious burger-centric deleted scenes from Iron Man, then take a look at this screenshot from the......

Battlestar Galactica is easily the best drama on TV! You're cut, The Wire! Get lost, Lost! Err, ER! If you can put the original campy Star-Wars knock-off (that we all loved back in the 70s) out of your head and give this Sci-Fi Channel reimagination a chance, you will be treated to some of the best writing, action, and drama this side of the Eye of Jupiter. (Plus some pretty hot "Human on Toaster" action.......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. It is, if you hadn't noticed, the first day of April, which is a day on which it is traditional to prank people, lie to them, and just generally wage war on them psychologically and physically. We promise not to do any of these things to you, less because we respect you too much as people, and more......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Muxtape looks like a cool idea (although beware—it seems to be a bit unreliable at the moment, perhaps due to its sudden popularity). Upload some MP3s and then anybody else can listen to them as a streaming playlist. There are no issues of legality because there's no way to actually download the songs. We're really enjoying this particular muxtape at the......

FOX 29 News at 10 (Mon, 10PM-11PM, Fox) We hear tell there's going to be a special segment during tonight's news featuring anchor Kerri-Lee Halkett—appropriately entitled “Kerri-Lee TV”—which will take a look at the Internet scene in Philadelphia, "focusing on how stories of the day are covered by local online sites, including community information, personalities, events and breaking news."

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Some sad news this morning: the actor Roy Scheider, whom most of us remember from his role in Jaws, has passed away. It still doesn't appear to be officially official, but the WGA strike is pretty much over now. Whew! Thank God. Now get back to work, people!!! We need our bread and circuses! The English-language trailer for Forbidden Kingdom is......

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week. Nova (Tue, 8PM-9PM, WHYY & WLVT) - This episode apparently consists mainly of footage of a war between termites and fierce, dragon-shaped army ants.

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. They're actually doing a third Underworld movie. Of course, it will be a prequel. It's called Underworld 3: The Rise of the Lycans, and it'll be the directorial debut of Patrick Tatopoulos, who did the creature effects on the first two movies. Apparently director George Miller will be working on Mad Max 4: Fury Road, Happy Feet 2, and Justice League of America,......

One of them inevitably falls in love with her on sight and subsequently - gasp! - entertains an illogical......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Check out this post by a Croatian comic-book artist about his favorite manga.

(Also, we second the recommendations of Death Note and Uzumaki, which......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Movie Poop Shoot reveals to us that the worst live action comic book adaptation ever already happened back in 1979, so we have nothing to worry about from future adaptations. This worst of all possible adaptations took the form of an extremely short-lived TV show (only two episodes!) on NBC called Legends of the Superheroes, which was apparently an attempt to......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Check out this very creepy trailer for 30 Days of Night, an upcoming film based on a graphic novel about vampires attacking in the arctic circle during the time of year when the sun doesn't rise for a whole month.

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. We're kind of sad that Battlestar Galactica's next, and fourth, season will officially be its last. But we're glad that it was a creative decision, rather than a decision by management, and that they're planning on going out with a bang. There will be a special two-hour episode called "Razor" airing in November, then the final 22-episode season will start in......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. It seems as if some spoilers about the upcoming season finale of Battlestar Galactica have been leaked, apparently by one of the actors, but we can't say for sure, because we're not reading any article with the headline "Battlestar Finale Spoilers Leaked." If you're curious, and don't mind having surprises ruined for you, click here and see for yourself. Apparently Nintendo didn't technically......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Um, Ninja Cheerleaders. It's a movie about cheerleaders who are also ninjas, and who also work as strippers to pay the rent. Do we need to say any more? Okay, the movie also has George Takei in it killing people with a sword. We think he's the villain. Brilliant! (Via) This sounds a little cheesy, but it might be cool: SciFi.com......
