The Philadelphia Turkey lauded the Parkway-crossing antics of a local resident. Brave, or crazy? You decide. Philebrity wondered whether PostGreen was really meant for the Second Life real estate market. So that begs the question: does the sub-prime mortgage crisis exist in cyberlife? Katie at Based on Real Life checked out First Person Arts at L'Etage. Based on her writing, we expect to see her on stage at one of these soon. Jen, of Down......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. A very silly trailer. Mel Brooks will produce and co-write a horror film called Pizzaman. Is he a man made of pizza who eats himself to death? New pics from Lost Boys 2:The Tribe. Watch this new trailer for The Incredible Hulk quickly, because it could be pulled down any second. We'd heard the movie was influenced very......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. Rumor is that X-Files 2 will start shooting on December 10 in Vancouver. The latest Star Trek casting rumor: Josh Lucas is up for the role of Captain Christopher Pike. A short film called Your Friend the Rat included on the Ratatouille DVD will feature the first hand-drawn, 2-D animated and stop-motion animated sequences ever in a Pixar......

These sites typically use technologies such......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. In case you're still not sure which of the 2008 presidential candidates looks good to you, you can now make a final decision based on the most important information of all: what their favorite movies are. Although actually since they've pretty much all picked unquestionably excellent films, it's still hard to make a decision. We're leaning towards Edwards, though, because Dr. Strangelove was......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Cheer up, folks - the worst day of the year is already over! (Via) Gemotion is a new type of screen for projected video that actually bulges and collapses in synch with the graphics on it. It's real 3D! That's kind of cool, but also kind of creepy... (Via) Sigh. We have to add a new blog to our already crowded......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. Just how lazy are you? Can you barely summon up the energy to climb out of bed and crawl over to your computer to check your email? Well, good news: now you don't have to! Just get yourself an Ergopod and you can blog and game lying down, like the compu-slug you are. The bad news is, Sean......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Just in time for Christmas, Slate gifts us with a totally surreal and fascinating article on a DaVinci Code-type conspiracy theory featuring Christ, the Vatican, and a holy relic - although perhaps not quite the kind of relic you might expect. In fact, the article asks the question just what really happened to the foreskin of Jesus? Or, as it is apparently also......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. A cute video to start your Wednesday afternoon off right. And now an exceedingly uncute video to continue your Wednesday afternoon...wrong. It's Nic Cage transforming into Ghost Rider! Well...he seems to be enjoying it, anyway, and that's what counts, right? (Via) We're finding it kind of mind-blowing that Reuters opened a bureau inside the game Second Life. This means they have......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Tringo went from being a game inside the game Second Life to being a GBA game to being an online game you can play if you follow that link. It's pretty fun, too! You drop Tetris-like blocks onto a playing field and try to make box shapes with them without filling your field up with so many non-boxes that you can't......
