Go and watch this movie, and keep in mind it's 100% real, and was shot entirely in 2006. There's an earlier film on the site that was put together in 2005 that follows the same format but both films amazed me...   more »

I love stone calendars like Stonehenge--rings of stones marking days of the year or important annual astronomical alignments. Such structures are common in many parts of the world, but until now, none have been found that originate from pre-Columbrian Amazon cultures, simply because such cultures tended to build using clay and wood. Now, on a grassy hilltop near the village of Calcoene in northern Brazil, scientists have discovered what may be the remains of a stone calendar...   more »

Saw this signature line today on a post somewhere and it made me laugh:

You should walk a mile in someone's shoes before you criticize them... because that way if they get mad at you, they'll be a mile away... and barefoot.

I mentioned in an earlier article that I wanted to write about this, so I guess now's the time. If you had told me 2 years ago that I would become an avid MTGO player (that's Magic: the Gathering Online) I probably would have said you were crazy. And I would have been wrong. Nonetheless getting into MTGO has been a decision I've had to wrestle with for a number of reasons...   more »

It never fails, no matter what, everybody in television is always trying to make their mark on something.  Which is okay unless it's your something.  WLVI (channel 56) has opted to bring back Creature Double Feature for the summer.  I loved CDF as a kid.  Many a Saturday afternoon in the 70's was spent watching crappy Japanese horror movies with my Dad.  So I greeted the news that CDF was coming back with elation.  Right up until the moment I switched it on to find that CDF now has "a host".  A talentless hack in a tacky costume as "The Ghoul" who speaks in a phoney Romanian accent so poorly that you can't understand a word he says.  Worse yet the Ghoul has to appear at each of the extremely frequent and long commercial breaks.  We watched until we couldn't stand it anymore and then switched over to the ball game.  Even my 9 year old daughter, who loves bad monster movies, expressed irritation at the annoying Ghoul.

Thanks WLVI... all you had to do was put crappy monster movies on the air for 3 hours on Saturday afternoons.  Apparently, this is too challenging.
