In the next couple of weeks, I'm probably going to dump a lot of stuff here... I've got e-mails that I've sent myself to look over and then pass the savings on to you pass them along to you - given that they're still relevant, of course. :)

I was a big fan of Bob McDonald when I was younger because his TV show, "Wonder Struck", really was filled with tons of science facts that I ate up like candy. I eve have one of his WOnder Struck books around here, and he signed it "To the one with all the answers"... :D I've been listening to Quirks and Quarks recently, and I love that I can download the shows as MP3s. I just listen to them in the car. Every article has me going "huh!" For example, did you know that if you were to unroll a roll of Scotch Tape in a vacuum, you'd generate X-Rays? Or how about a bug that was found recently that shoots itself likea bow and arrow? And recently, he got Slashdotted for his article on 10 Ways The World Could End.

Proof that anything can be sold on eBay - an abandoned house went up for sale and was purchased for $1.75.

Physics Invader - Space Invaders with Physics. It's very satisfying to brush all the invaders off the screen once they start littering the ground...

Here's another game, Hunted Forever. I like the large hovering robot that watches over the player. Gives a really cramped feel. :)

And one more game, from the makers of Brontosaurus Jetpack - Minotaur China Shop. Oh my god. XD A beautiful concept and a real execution. I love it. :D

When looking up Die Hard's Hans Gruber (overheard during a commentary track for the Clerks Animated Series<) I came across his "bio" on MovieVillans.com. I like how they give ratings for most bad guys, including "It". :)

Seeing that, technically, it's Christmas Eve right now, I'm going to share something I discovered. Any Venture Bros. fans out there might already know of this, but there's a collection of Venture Bros Xmas songs out there - and Quickstop Entertainment has them. Enjoy!

I saw this Skippy Ad today, and wow... the 80's were Jem-tastic. XD


I'll return later and make another post, so I'll catch you later! Enjoy your Christmas Eve! :D
