If you read Penny Arcade news feeds, you already know about this, but I thought this was a far better song.

Apparently these guys program the Chuck E. Cheese band to mime the songs, and they have decided to start taking requests for people and putting youtube videos of it up. It's pretty funny.

Edit: Okay, apparently I was mistaken, its the animatronic band from a similar chain called Showbiz Pizza Place that competed with and eventually became Chuck E. Cheese in a series of really confusing business moves, and this is the retired band now owned by some bloke in Arkansas.

Anyhow, I'm sure many of you who actually remember most of the 80s probably know this, I just wanted the record straight.

This is quite possibly the most addicting game I've ever found, and I've found many an addicting game.

I think it was on here that I saw something about some pen where you could draw circles and wagons and stuff, and it would follow the rules of physics. Same idea, only in game form. Good luck.

I saw this on PBS's BBC World News, and when I told AJ he said he didn't believe it, so I had to find the article, then he suggested I post it here, so here it is!

BBC News, Ohio The Man Who Grew Back His Finger Tip: In every town in every part of this sprawling country you can find a faceless sprawling strip mall in which to do the shopping.

Rarely though would you expect to find a medical miracle working behind the counter of the mall's hobby shop.

That however is what Lee Spievak considers himself to be.

"I put my finger in," Mr Spievak says, pointing towards the propeller of a model aeroplane, "and that's when I sliced my finger off."

It took the end right off, down to the bone, about half an inch.

"We don't know where the piece went."

The photos of his severed finger tip are pretty graphic. You can understand why doctors said he'd lost it for good.

Today though, you wouldn't know it. Mr Spievak, who is 69 years old, shows off his finger, and it's all there, tissue, nerves, nail, skin, even his finger print.

I saw this on TV this weekend, and it literally scared the bejezus out of me. I turned on just as the eggs start crying. You can imagine my confusion.

What's sad is no only is this considered legitimate children's programming, but its actually made by Americans not Japanese, as I feel is the style they're trying to copy.

They try so hard, you almost don't want to spoil it for them.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to post this, but the more I thought about it the more I found it interesting.

Sex Photo Scandal Rocks HK Entertainment Industry (Forbes) - HONG KONG -

It's been called the equivalent of the 9/11 disaster for the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Sexually explicit pictures and a steamy video shot by Cantopop icon Edison Chen with female singers and actresses who have shared his bed have spread like wildfire around Asia over the past few weeks.

Apparently in Hong Kong, this sort of stuff is considered appalling. I also noticed that apparently a tape as surfaced of Gene Simmons cheating on his long time girlfriend, and people in America hardly bat an eye. Heck it practically makes a career for some in Hollywood.

It also reminds me of that whole episode with Richard Gere kissing that Bollywood actress in India.

Sort of interesting to see how different cultures approach these things (although I certainly hope the poor young man is able to keep his hands).

(wasn't Maggie Q the chick from Balls of Fury?)

Indian surgeons were performing a marathon operation last night on a two-year-old girl who was born with four arms and four legs.

The girl, called Lakshmi after the four-armed Hindu goddess of wealth, is revered as a deity by some in her impoverished village. But doctors say Lakshmi is connected at the pelvis to a headless "parasitic twin" who stopped developing in her mother's womb while she absorbed the limbs, kidneys and other body parts.

Was this the mutations you were looking for AJ?

I took this picture of a car sticker in the school parking lot.

I can't decide if I find it sanctimonious or justified.

... perhaps both.
