Having a hard time taking over the Earth? Inefficient right hand men making a mockery of your efforts to wreak havoc? Could you use a tool that will help your evil team monitor the crises you create whilst you cackle out callous laughter? Well then the Henchman's Helper is just what you've been breaking into run-down laboratories for. [via mefi projects]

Does anyone else now have the "Hamburger Helper" jingle stuck in their head?

"Henchman's Helper,
For when you need to kick some ass!"

I was imagining some sort of filler and seasoning mix to stretch out your meager henchman supplies.

Okay, I'm going to ask the mods to remove this (and feel free to flag it to get their attention). I don't know what the deal is, but perhaps it's a little too henchy.

joelf reports that the weirdness (a) was not actually malware and (b) has been fixed, so we'll give this thing some air and see if all is well.

Thanks Cortex, I deleted an image file hosted on a server that google thought was a suspicious server. All is well... or evil?
