3 Launches iPhone Petition

I think it’s pretty damn lame that 3 have to launch a petition to get the iPhone on 3 in Australia.

MacFarlane reveals next season 'Family Guy' details

In summary: Stewie’s probably gay, there might be a movie, Cleveland was chosen for the spin-off because Quagmire “is not a guy you want to invite into your hone on a weekly basis," a new character is replacing Cleveland, Cleveland’s show has a talking bear, they are amping up Brian, and there might be crossovers with Cleveland’s show and American Dad.

grain edit · The Making of the Pixar WALL-E Picture book - Lots of Bots

This is CUT PAPER. So jealous…. But I’m gonna have to try it!

grain edit · The Making of the Pixar WALL-E Picture book - Lots of Bots

Some interesting military pictures

Wonder if these are photoshopped? If they are, they’re pretty damn good, I can’t pick them. There is a fuzzy halo around the woman and man, but it could be pixelation from high compression.

Scientists Close to Reconstructing First Living Cell: Scientific American

There’s quite a few things that scare me on this planet, but one thing I find most scary is the ability to create life from scratch, and they’re bloody close. Right now they’ve shown that some random chemicals in the form of fatty acids, some random chemicals the form of basic DNA and some random chemicals in the form of nucleotides are enough to build a cell that can feed and duplicate DNA in a test tube. The next step is cell division and once you’ve got that, add a little mutation and you’ve got evolution. Couple this with new universes bubbling off from existing ones and it doesn’t matter if the continuously expanding universe results in the Big Freeze. You also solve the problem that current evidence shows that time began with the beginning of the universe, which “something” must have started. So there you go, we might be the retarded offspring of 5 monkeys having butt-sex with a fish-squirrel after all!

Texan couple delays marriage because of petrol prices

This Texan couple is delaying their marriage because petrol keeps increasing in price. Possibly the best/lamest excuse I have ever heard. Of course they still drive a massive truck though.

Security scanners that see through clothing but blur… um… your face?

Security scanners that "see" through clothing. My face is the last thing that I would want them to blur. I bet it won’t be long before “airport scanner porn” is on the net. Wonder if you can fashion something with a salami that would fool the scanner? Not that I need it, of course.

Don’t forget, we’re all dead tomorrow

Texas cult leader predicts the world will end in a nuclear holocaust on the 12th of June. If he’s right this time (3rd time’s the charm) then we’ve only got a few hours left to convert.
