Rovio and NASA Hope to Jump-Start Space Race With New “Angry Birds” Exhibit

Follow @jeffnau
NASA and Rovio have teamed up to put an Angry Birds exhibit in the Kennedy Space Center in Orlando Florida, centered around the Angry Birds in Space theme and complete with B-movie esque moniker Angry Birds Space Encounter.

The exhibit was first announced about a year ago by astronaut Donald Pettit when he was living aboard the International Space Station — and while we were first apt to attribute such an idea to space sickness, Rovio and NASA officially opened the exhibit at Cape Canaveral last Friday. Both companies are launching the exhibit with the hope that it inspires more kids to get excited about space and want to explore it.  Continue reading “Rovio and NASA Hope to Jump-Start Space Race With New “Angry Birds” Exhibit” »

University Professors Want Your “Zombie Thesis”, Just in Case There’s an Undead Apocalypse

Follow @jeffnau

Sure, movies and shows like The Walking Dead and 28 Days Later are good, scary fun, viewed from the safety of our cozy homes, where we can go to sleep knowing it’s all B.S. Right?

Apparently it’s not that simple. Much in the way that Stephen Hawking recently joined a robot awareness think-tank — just in case the robots we manufacture end up getting too smart — academics and intellectuals are calling for some real research into the zombie world.

Man Dressed As Batman Turns in Suspect For Police, Vanishes Into the Night

“You know that day that you once told me about, when Gotham would no longer need Batman? It’s coming.”

…But it’s not here, yet.

A truism the internet proved again today, as a video of a man disguised as The World’s Greatest Detective, has gone viral.

West Yorkshire Police in the U.K. reported that the man handed over a wanted suspect, then promptly disappeared.

Police said, “The person who brought the man in was dressed in a full Batman outfit. His identity remains unknown.”

Witnesses say the man dressed as The Bat, dropped the suspect off at the front desk and said, “I’ve caught this one for you.” He then vanished and up to this point has not been seen.

The apprehended suspect appeared before a court for charges stemming from handling stolen goods to various fraud offenses.

Out of all of this, we certainly know there is one man who is not a fraud…because he’s not our hero. He’s a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A dark knight.

7 Year Old Boy Suspended By School for Shaping Pastry Into a Gun (Update: Letter To Parents)

You can’t make this stuff up (chances are if you did you’d probably get suspeneded)…

A 7 year old boy was given a two day suspension for shaping his lunch pastry into a gun and reportedly making “bang, bang” sounds with it (it’s been at least a decade since I’ve typed the phrase bang, bang sounds).

The tragedy of it all, according to the boy, was that the pastry was shaped to originally fashion itself after a mountain. Continue reading “7 Year Old Boy Suspended By School for Shaping Pastry Into a Gun (Update: Letter To Parents)” »

BBC Makes Actual PSA To Keep You Safe, Advise You How To Avoid Zombies

Earlier this week, we told you about the BBC Series that is aiming to put America’s zombie apocalypse (and most popular cable) TV show, The Walking Dead, to shame with their horror driven series “In The Flesh.”

Now it looks like the BBC is going one step further in making a mere announcement for the show – they’ve created a PSA warning you to stay away from zombies, you know, in case you happen to be confronted by the dead (type that last phrase in and this will come up as one of Google’s top search results).

‘World’s Greatest Mom’ Hires Strippers for Her Son’s 16th Birthday, Arrested by Cops

Follow @jeffnau
 Judy Viger from South Glen Falls, New York, only wanted to give her son a gift that would both a)eliminate the need for her to ever give him a gift again and also b)make him the most popular kid on campus, which might have been two huge problem solvers for both of them.

Sadly New York State police didn’t see it quite the same way, and have arrested Ms. Viger for endangering a minor. Continue reading “‘World’s Greatest Mom’ Hires Strippers for Her Son’s 16th Birthday, Arrested by Cops” »

Iceland On Mission to Ban Internet Porn; Will it Do More Harm Than Good?

Follow @jeffnau
Apparently Iceland Interior Minister Ögmundur Jónasson isn’t satisfied with his home country’s ban on the printing and circulation of pornography. Now he’s taking extra steps to ensure that, in addition, Internet pornography ceases to exist.

While such a move in the U.S. would no doubt entail hours and billions in legal and fiscal complications, Jónasson’s seriously close to executing his plan — and he’s got plenty of lawmakers to back him up.

With DC focusing its attention on the Man of Steel and Justice League movies, auto-makers Kia and DC Entertainment have collaborated on a brand new car known as the  Optima Hybrid Superman One, a self-explanatory environmentally conscious Optima, painted to look like Supes himself.

While Clark would certainly approve of its green theme, really, what’s the point IF IT CAN’T FLY? Continue reading “Kia and DC Comics Build Hybrid Superhero Car for a Good Cause” »

Pranksters Take Over Emergency Broadcast System, Declare Zombie Apocalypse in Montana

If you were one of roughly seventeen people tuning into (living?) in The Great Falls, Montana today, you were treated to a bit of an unusual message on your TV.

The above video depicts a couple of pranksters (we hope) taking over the emergency broadcast system and declaring “residents have risen from the dead and are attacking the living. Do not attempt to approach or apprehend these bodies as they are considered extremely dangerous.” Continue reading “Pranksters Take Over Emergency Broadcast System, Declare Zombie Apocalypse in Montana” »

Texas Man Busted for Bestiality; Tells Cops He Was Trying to Make a ‘Horse-Baby’

Follow @jeffnau
We’ve all experienced the occasional unpleasant romantic encounter (or lack thereof); most of us, guys and gals, hopefully deal with it in a relatively constructive manner.

Unfortunately, a 29-year-old Texas man by the name of Andrew Mendoza didn’t see it that way — and, after being stood up by his girlfriend, retaliated by taking it out on a poor animal. And by ‘taking it out,’ we mean whipping out his penis and having sex with a horse. Continue reading “Texas Man Busted for Bestiality; Tells Cops He Was Trying to Make a ‘Horse-Baby’” »

HMV Employee Tweets Live From His Firing; Overhears Supervisor Ask ‘How Do I Shut Down Twitter?’

Follow @jeffnau
Perhaps signaling the beginning of the end for the few remaining record companies, Britain-based HMV – a multimedia corporation best known in the music business — had a mass firing yesterday, terminating the careers of about 190 people at one of its England offices.

One of the employees happened to have the username and password to the company’s official Twitter account, and thus decided to tweet his thoughts live as he was being let go. The result is both hilarious, and, given just how mass the firing was, also kind of depressing.

World’s Tiniest Car Makes You Look Like an Astronaut, Drive Like Complete Imbecile

Jeremy Clarkson, host of the popular British show Top Gear, has invented the P45. With a helmet for a roof, a visor for a windshield, and inspired by a LEGO spaceman, the car is the smallest street legal automobile in Great Britain.

You can fill up the gas tank without getting out (by placing the hose between your…well, crotch) and also create a popular video on YouTube just by driving it, but outside of that, the P45 doesn’t have too many perks.
