If you have ever wanted to know what it would be like to be strapped to the outer hull of a rocket set on leaving the earths atmosphere, this video is for you.
What this video really needs is the song ‘flying high again‘, from Ozzy Ozbourne to play as the soundtrack.
It also doubles as a teething ring and potty.
Makes a great Halloween costume as well!

Summertime has always been the time when I can finally just relax and catch up on a few of my favorite programs. During the fall and spring, my Direc4u is practically bursting with “appointment television” episodes to keep up with but in the summer I can just watch some reruns. For example, right now I’m catching up on The X-Files.
The X-Files is an old favorite: watching the skeptical Agent Scully and the conspiracy nut Mulder track down monsters, aliens, or whatever else they had lined up was a treat. It was one of the few shows I would watch every week with my mom. We’d schedule our Sunday nights around it and always have something to talk about later. Even though I’ve moved states away, every time I watch a rerun of the X-Files it feels like my mom is right there with me.
Watching The X-Files in reruns is a great way to catch all the little things I missed growing up, too. In a show so heavily based in mythology and conspiracy, seeing things from a new angle really makes a difference to your understanding of the story. Although the last movie might not have won any awards, The X-Files TV series will always have a place in my heart.
So, if you’re bored, or just want a little silly action to fill some dead time, there is a new free RTS (Real Time Strategy) kind of game out there, and you’ll never guess who is promoting it.
Cheetos.
Yes, Cheetos, those delicious yellow crunchy cheese death sticks are allowing you to saddle up for war! Simply go to www.battleofthecheetos.com, and start fighting.
It is simple, and pretty intuitive, plus you get to pit Cheetos against Cheetos, puffs on puffs, in a dangerous game of winner take all!
This is just awesome. To see someone such as Gene Simmons, putting on a little show for US service men and women, is truly inspiring.
It starts out a bit awkward, but quickly becomes something definitely worth watching.
It would have been better if it were the entire KISS band, and not just Gene.
Nasty, right?
So ho said, HEY! Let’s take a dead squirrel, taxidermy it. THEN! We shall shove cold beverages down inside of it and make merriment!
Enjoy that. If someone ever offered me a drink in one of these, I am screaming Pet Cemetery and running!
I am not an art fanatic, nor do I really know that much about it.
But I do know that this sculpture by Jaime Salmon is terrifying.
It looks a little to realistic for my tastes. It even has real human hair.
If this is the kinda of work he does for fun, imagine what his take on normal household objects would be like.
Can you imagine if he remade your couch? Or how about you wall mounts for you LCD TV’s? Would you ever want to watch TV on that again? What about if he made your toilet?
OK, maybe I am getting ahead of myself here.
Man, getting updates on Diablo III is like finding an acne medication that doesn’t torch you skin, and when it does surface, it usually isn’t good. This news from Blizzard, the latest about Diablo III, isn’t as bad as it is almost expected.
Diablo III won’t ship this year.
Or maybe not even next year.
BUT, it will ship in the next few years, as the image below states.
I know these games take a minute or two to make, but seriously? When did this title originally show up? Mid 2008? These games have a large following, not unlike Star Craft and WoW, so why doesn’t it get the same attention?
And why so secretive about it’s progress? Every month, just tell us something. Right now they release something predictably useless every 3 or 4 months.
And this tidbit of information, didn’t come from the Diablo III site, it came from another blog.
Beautiful.
