The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. We've still got quite a few year-end lists and awards to get through, so settle in, people! First The Movie Blog points out that a Moviefone poll has selected the worst performances of 2007, with Lindsay Lohan "winning" for her role in I Know Who Killed Me. Meanwhile, Slate has a different kind of top ten list for us: the Bush......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Blender has annoyed us with their lists before, but we can't help but post something that claims to be The 100 Greatest Rock & Roll Movies of All Time. And we do like a lot of their picks in the top ten (even if they did include the horrendously bad, incredibly overrated Purple Rain). Could DC be planning to kill off Bruce Wayne/Batman??......

So you're trying to find a Wii in the Philadelphia area? Yeah, Phillyist too. Umm, got any leads? After hearing all the stories about folks who lost like 20 lbs. and scored with every chick in sight after playing the Wii, Phillyist decided to try and board that gravy train. However, it's a pretty exclusive club, a la the train in Harry Potter. Good luck finding it... So Phillyist began what has turned into something......

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......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Sure, a random internet poll doesn't mean all that much, and maybe Joystiq readers are all just Nintendo fan boys (although we don't think so), but these numbers still seem pretty telling to us. The Wii and Xbox 360 have strong support, with the highest percentage of voters saying they either already own the console, or plan to buy it soon. But the......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. Okay, this is something you've got to see: a guy in some kind of weird pizza/dog outfit plays Guitar Hero multi-player, by himself, with a custom double-neck guitar (the video is embedded above, or click through to watch it on YouTube). He doesn't do it very well, admittedly, but still - awesome. It's time to end that 1UP......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. C'mon, you know you've always wondered: how the heck did dinosaurs have sex? In this Cosmos magazine article, a bunch of scientists discuss the likely positions they might have used, and what their reproductive organs might have looked like. Tee hee. (Via) Chris Kohler sure knows how to make us jealous. Now he's got photos and a description of what appears to be......
