New Badass Expendables Pictures Appear!

More badass photos from Stallone’s The Expendables makes me want to immediately start doing crunches in my cubicle.  Can I fit a weight set in there?

The Expendables is pretty close to wrapping principle photography and the images we’ve been getting have been awesome.  80′s macho heavy weights like Sylvester Stallone and Dolph Lundgren team up with a handful of other machismo actors like Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Jason Statham and Eric Roberts.  Van Damme, what did you turn a role down in this?!?!?! There are even rumors of Schwarzenegger making an appearance.

Here are the pics.  The Expendables is scheduled to hit theatres on April 23rd, 2010.

A Nightmare on Elm Street Remake Poster

With the release of the first official picture of Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger in 2010′s remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street, I’ve been hoping for a full on Freddy pic.

First Image of Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger!

When I heard that Academy Award Winner Jackie Earle Haley (Little Children, Watchmen) was putting on the striped sweater, hat and claws to play the iconic Freddy Krueger, I was pretty excited.  I think he’s the only actor that can pull off this role made iconic by Robert Englund.

Anyway, here’s the first glimpse of Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy from the Platinum Dunes remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street.  If you were disappointed by the campiness of the Friday the 13th remake (I actually dug it), prepare for a serious, non glossy and scary Nightmare on Elm Street.  I’m hearing some great things so far through the rumor-mille.  We’ll have to wait and see.

More pics of the new Freddy will be coming later today . . .

Weiner-on-Wheels crashes into Garage

The next time you’re having a bad day, just take a look at this picture again.

Police say the driver was trying to turn the Wienermobile around in the driveway and thought she was moving in reverse. But she instead went forward and hit the home. It sat in the driveway as if it were stuck in the garage Friday afternoon. [FoxNews]

I know it makes me feel good that all my screw ups go mostly unnoticed and don’t make major news headlines that people will chuckle at for years to come.

Idiot Kid Drinks Gas to Become a Transformer

Are people getting dumber? Are parents involved in their kids’ lives at all anymore?

I bring up these questions because some kid in China started drinking gasoline 5 years ago when he was 9 so we would become more like a Transformer.  He was inspired to do so after viewing the Transformers cartoon series.

The youngster was so impressed that he began drinking fuel on a daily basis to “obtain energy” and become a mighty warrior like the Transformers. [Russia Today]

WTF? Introducing iBum. World’s First Photocopier Chair?

This is where you wonder if the Human Race has lost it.  Tomomi Sayuda has designed the iBum.  A chair that photocopies your ass, unknowingly.

I’ll let him explain himself:

“The arse is the window of the soul.”

I believe that human buttocks are one of the less discussed and focused part of human body. In this “iBum” project, I would like to reveal the visual of this less popular part of body without notice. The chair reveal human unconsciousness and reality. When audience sit down on the chair, a scanner on the top of chair start to scan people`s buttocks automatically.  Then the scanned image is printed out from the right hand side of the chair. A sensor is detecting people`s existence all the time. So people will not realize the existence of the scanner. Without notice, the photocopy of the bum will arrive next to the chair.

Hate to burst your bubble, Tomomi Sayuda, but I highly doubt we’ll be seeing the iBum anytime soon.  People with “photocopy ass” fetishes are a very small percentage of the population.

Urine to the Rescue! Solving the Energy Crisis.

Urine-powered cars, homes and personal electronic devices could be available in six months with new technology developed by scientists from Ohio University. [Discovery]

This is shocking to me.  First, I’m hearing about astronauts purifying urine to make drinking water.  Now, our pee can potentially help solve the current energy crisis.  Amazing.

Using a nickel-based electrode, the scientists can create large amounts of cheap hydrogen from urine that could be burned or used in fuel cells. “One cow can provide enough energy to supply hot water for 19 houses,” said Gerardine Botte, a professor at Ohio University developing the technology. “Soldiers in the field could carry their own fuel.” [Discovery]
