First Stan Winston, now this. Bad week for my heroes. John Carpenter better be looking over his shoulder.

Pi(es) in a field
Mind-boggling that the pranksters are aware of Pi?

What, do you think they're just drunken vagrants?
They're obviously meticulous artists, they've done complex things in the past. It's planned out painstakingly on paper then transfered to a field. There's a method to it.
Err... it was not my intention to insult the intelligence of crop circle designers, who are clearly quite skilled. I was simply trying to figure out what the nameless "astrophysicists" found so "mind-boggling" about it.

Spoiler Alert.
Shyamalan is just Uwe Boll with a better cinematographer.
Bears repeating.
Also, I picked the ending of The Village after seeing the god damned trailer for the first time. Generic "period" setting + Shyamalan twist = OMFG IT'S MODERN DAY!

That's awesome, The Card Cheat. Right up there with Ebert's review of Pearl Harbor.

Let's be careful out there....
I really, really want to like Tyson, but I just find him incredibly irritating. He talks about interesting stuff in an interesting way, but there's something about him that just rubs me the wrong way. Nails on a chalkboard.

Also:
I’ve seen men in fur suits masturbating on stuffed animals. I’ve seen high heels stepping on snails. I’ve seen women farting on birthday cakes.
This sounds like a really screwed up alternate take of Rutger Hauer's monologue at the end of Blade Runner.

Keep the lolxtian talk to a minimum
Oh, and congratulations, you've probably caused the deaths of millions of people what with all your modern diseases and such.
Where do you think the Black Death came from?
Goddamn time travelers.

Stealth bomber crash
"Life membership of the Martin-Baker Tie Club is confined solely to persons who have ejected from an aircraft in an emergency using a Martin-Baker designed ejection seat, and thereby saved their life."
What? People who ejected and died aren't allowed in the club? That doesn't seem very fair.

Flipper? Is that you?
I predict that one day we'll find a fossil though of a dinosaur with a trunk and have to rethink all those supposedly trunkless semi-aquatic long-necked large dinosaurs eating leaves off of trees while they stand in the middle of a lake.
That's been suggested, because of the placement of the nares on the top of the skull.
(It's not believed anymore that sauropods were semi-aquatic, btw. At least last I heard.)

The Biggest Drawing In The World
Very cool.
Actually, this is a viral campaign for the new Indiana Jones movie
It'd be awesome if some shipping company were to replace the package tracking feature on their website with a montage of old cargo planes flying, superimposed with an animation of a red line on a map.

100% (Dixie). Is General Lee your father?
WTF? Born and raised in New Orleans, but I talk like a Californian. This quiz is crap. Also, I second the outrage about the lack of "poboy" as an answer.
20. What's that bug that rolls into a ball when you touch it? (NOTE: This is not a doodle bug (ant lion), which is the larvae of Myrmeleontidae spp.)
Again, WTF? Way to tilt... [more]
