Jesus, I can’t believe I’ve never thought of this.  [via]

I find Jon Stewart’s impression of Glen Beck pretty great, unnerving for sure, but still great. Gotta love those inane FOX news chalkboard moments.

This sucks: “In 2005, newlyweds Julie and Mike Boyde of Ambridge, Pennsylvania spent their wedding night at a bed and breakfast, where, for the first time since becoming a couple, they had intercourse without a condom. Immediately afterward, Julie was in excruciating pain. Doctors would eventually diagnose her with a rare and incurable disorder known as seminal plasma hypersensitivity, meaning Julie is allergic to her husband’s sperm.”

She goes on to say on a scale of 1 to 10, the pain is about an eight or nine for a full 24-hours after intercourse.  I don’t know if she’s using my pain scale (10 being decapitation, one being napping in a field of daisies), but this allergy sounds pretty awful to have.

I’m sure there’s a Christian Bale joke here somewhere, but honestly the premise here is so simple: a man dresses like a bat and then scares the beejesus out of people.  Sometimes it’s the bizarre-o little things in life.  [via]

What’s better than one Slave Leia?  How about two catching some rays.  Kottke came across this photo of Carrie Fisher and her stunt double napping during the Tatooine shoot in Return of the Jedi. Enjoy!  But just know that I’m going to need a moment or two to catch my breath.  [via]

David D’Angelo flies from Denver to Singapore and back with stopovers in Chicago, Los Angeles and Tokyo. I could watch these types of moving photographic summaries all day. [via]

Above is our Sun, “photographed using a special filter which matches the specific shade of red light emitted by hydrogen gas. The image was then inverted to enhance the visibility of the Sun’s chromosphere, giving it the ominus blue glow seen above.”

Google celebrates the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street and the 20th anniversary of Wallace and Gromit on both their American and British sites.  I much prefer the Wallace and Gromit omage.  But then again, I just love claymation and stinky cheese. 

Thanks internets! From last week’s “Top Chef” where Padma Lakshmi and guest judge Natalie Portman drop their fair share of fellatio double entendres in 40-seconds. [via]

Excess and Lamborghini go hand and hand.  Though I still prefer the classic and sophisticated lines of the Ferrari, the other Italian automaker still creates an intimidating beast of a car.  There is something primal about a Lamborghini — it is a swirling mess of super-ego and id raging on two axels. 

The V-12 supercar looks like an attack vehicle from the future. ”The 6.5 liter, 12-cylinder mill puts out 662 horsepower. The car does 0 to 62 mph in 3.4 seconds. It tops out at 205 mph,” according to Wired Magazine.  “But the most important number is 20. As in that’s precisely how many Lamborghini will build.”   

Which means you probably have to know a few people and have $1.6 million dollars to shell out for it.

When was the last time you saw a monkey riding a goat as the goat walks along a tightrope?

Well, shit.  If you thought his selection of movies roles was dubious before, you should probably prepare yourself for things like The Rock 2: Escape Back into Alcatraz, Con Air 3: Even Connier, Leaving Las Vegas: The Rehab Years, ad infinitum. 

Which is to say, the dude is broke.

“In a lawsuit filed Oct. 16 in Los Angeles, the National Treasure star, 45, claims that his longtime business manager, Samuel J. Levin, ‘lined his [own] pockets with several million dollars in business management fees while sending Cage down a path toward financial ruin.’”

Hold onto your seats because I have a feeling we’re going to experience a Nic Cage shit show the likes the world has never seen before.
