Pinocchio: Vampire Slayer!
In September 2009, SLG Publishing will be giving us Pinocchio: Vampire Slayer. No Joke. Drawn by Dustin Higgins and written by Van Jensen, Pinocchio: Vampire Slayer follows Pinocchio as he avenges the death of Geppetto, who was killed at the hands of bloodsuckers.
Official Synopsis:
After seeing Geppetto die at the hands of vampires, Pinocchio swears revenge in this darkly funny graphic novel. As the vampires plot the enslavement of mankind, only a one-puppet army stands in their way. But will a wooden boy and his endless supply of stakes—courtesy of plenty of lies and his elongating nose—be enough to save the day?
I’m in.

Death By Chocolate . . . Literally.
An employee at a Chocolate Factory DIED yesterday after falling into an 8 feet deep vat of hot melted chocolate that was being made for Hershey’s.
According to CNN:
Vincent Smith II, 29, was dumping raw chocolate into the vat for melting when he fell in from a nine-foot high platform. He suffered a fatal blow to the head from the vat’s agitator, a paddle-like mechanism used for stirring the chocolate.
Looks like now is a good time to give up chocolate.
Also, if I’m to expand on Geekologie’s take on this story, the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is totally unrealistic in portraying Augustus Gloop’s fall into the Chocolate River.
