Pros and cons of chainsaws for arms

Cons?!? How could it be anything other than awesome? I mean, if it’s good enough for Ash and excellent for fighting the evil dead…why not?

I wish this worked in reverse

Check out this new promotion to get more working holiday makers into Australia.  I could do with a cheap flight to the UK – no swapsies available ?????

And this is why I love Bookninja…

…apart from the fact they’re ninjas.  Check out this freaky clip of a ‘new, realistic’ robot.  Just think, that face could be looking after you in your old age – not creepy at all, right?

Han Solo, P.I.

 Accompanied by crack detectives Chewie, Luke and Obi Wan.  Full of win.

Bueller….Bueller….

It’s been all over the internet the last few days, Cameron’s house from the classic movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is for sale.  Not only is it a stunning architecturally designed house, but it’s a little piece teen movie memorabilia.  If you want to see a pic of the car pavilion without a Ferrari crashing through it, click on the link above.

Because I’m a geek…

I really enjoyed checking out these classic Star Trek convention photos from way back when.  It’s interesting looking back at early Star Trek fandom. Check out how young (and thin) William Shatner is.  I can’t believe the stars got so up close and personal with fans at conventions, it just wouldn’t happen today.  There are pictures of Gene Roddenberry and George Takei sitting around with attendees  like it’s completely normal.  It clearly didn’t have the regimented structure that would exist now.  Also, you must look at the old costume competition pictures – they are awesome.

Party with the Wild Things

I was sent this link to a blog where they had a Where the Wild Things are themed party for their little boy.  The cupcakes were very cute, but the wolf suit was better.  I loved the crown and furry tail.

Why didn’t I get one of these?  Have I not demonstrated my love for this story too?

Lonely Planet are cutting jobs due the global financial crisis and dropping guidebook sales.  It leaves me wondering, are people not buying guidebooks or holidaying because of finances or are they finding more up to date and relevant information online?

Get fit battling the Dark Side a la Obi Wan.

Will anyone watch The Watchmen?  I’m certainly planning on it.

Only in Japan (I hope).
