Thanks, Mike, for the picture.

Crazy sequels to your favorite movies
E.T. Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Gladiator.
These are all stand-alone movies with no chance for a sequel, right?
Well, as fast as you can say Ariel’s Big Adventure (no offense, Tom), Hollywood will want to cash in. Check out these actual script treatments for some of our favorite movies. Roger Rabbit versus the Nazis?
Now I feel like you’re just trying to guilt trip me.

Your passive-aggressive advertisements won’t work on me.
Not everything is as it seems

My oldest asked me to explain the romance aisle of books. There are some things in life that I just can’t rationalize.
Last night, the Runnin’ Gungan confused security cameras with his bouncing gait and floppy ears. He also ruined the night of some poor audio surveillance team by ranting into a bug about the decline of quality Hapan flautists and increased Bith musical stereotypes in the galaxy.
No wonder other countries think we’re weird.
Look at our movie posters. One is from a Steven Spielberg film, the other is from a George Lucas one. Can you guess which movies they are?


“No. I am your…space panther.”
Well, I’m officially creeped out.
At lunch time, I get to see what the current popular online games are. Normally it’s guys sledding down hills or penguins learning to fly.
This, though, is the creepiest. Any time your game seems to be influenced by Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit”, you know you’re in trouble.
Feed the Head is a puzzle game – I think.
“They’re wacky in a woo woo way.”
This coming from a school where parents think that the Middle Ages are too bloody and the Holocaust is too depressing.
Another bwah moment
“Your head don’t fit.”

Either that or I’m Hessian.
The stuff you don’t notice until you’re cataloging.

How many differences can you spot?
I think they’re just handing out these achievements

Dance Central 2 does understand my life stage. It gave me an achievement for dancing while a kid walked in front of the sensor.
Booyor needs to sell more shares to unlock his IPO
You can now buy stock in Zynga.
Get ten of your friends to buy stock in Zynga and your stock market will grow.
(I didn’t actually buy stock and this is not an officially-endorsed market recommendation. Why would you trust anything on this site for stock market savvy?)
No.

Break it down, Schroeder!
My wife has definitely influenced my youngest’s dance moves:
Unrelated: one SPAM attack this week tried to lure me in by saying that my site had an issue in Internet Explorer. Nice try, SPAM! Everyone has an issue in IE.
Science videos are weird.

This disembodied head is telling students he’s iron.
What kind of survey is this?
Are you going to be okay?
That’s what my wife asked after I laughed so hard watching this video:
Captain Shepard’s bad day

The observant will notice a Juggernaut, overheating guns, no HP, a nuclear blast, and a controller that’s out of batteries. This is not Shepard’s day.
It’s only slightly as nerdy as it sounds.
I got a round of applause by the staff for a spreadsheet I made.
I helped a teacher archive her email and she broke down into tears of joy.
I explained to a teacher that, just because you put pictures and music onto a CD, it doesn’t automatically turn into a slideshow.
For the first time in history, a crazy pilot did NOT fly over our state.
A 747 crew was flying an endurance test and decided to have some fun with its flight plan. Thanks, Ohm, for the link.
Internet Explorer users have a lower IQ
*pause*
I don’t use IE, so I’m not offended, but this sounds more like a meme than a study. Check it out on the BBC. A research group offered a free online IQ test and then charted which browsers the users had. IE ranked the lowest, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari users average, and Opera users ranking the highest.
