A blog whose purpose is to cut candy bars in half and take high-resolution scans of their cross-sections so we can see them. In a way, it's relaxing.

A short CG cartoon in honor of the 20th anniversary of The Rocketeer! I'll be the first to admit it's not the greatest movie ever, but it's fun escapism.

http://xkcd.com/980/huge/#x=-3352&y=-7184&z=4
XKCD did a breakdown of what all of the gifts mentioned in the song "If I had $1000000" would cost. If you don't want to zoom among the picture I'll just list the relevant figures: Furniture: $21,160 Plymouth Reliant: $3,000 Tree Fort: $15,000 Llama: $2,120 Joseph Merrick's Remains: Unavailable. House: $224, 820 Tiny Fridge: $99.08 Gourmet Pre-Wrapped Sausages: $34.48 Kraft Dinner: $3.06 Expensive Ketchup: $10.75 Faux Fur Coat: $198.00 Limo Ride to Store: $186.59 They claim all of this would be $263,330 Um, not all items are listed. Mentioned in the song but not priced are: Joseph Merrick's Remains: Sure, you can't BUY them, but with a million dollars I'm sure you could arrange a theft. This guy is trying to impress his girlfriend, right? Limo: Um, I'm sure the singer wasn't thinking of "a" limo ride to the store (listed above), but actually purchasing and maintaining a limousine. And the services of a chauffeur, too. Green (but not REAL green) dress: Probably skipped because "dress" is such a vague term. What size? What brand? How fancy of a dress? Picasso or Garfunkel Painting: Seriously, I refuse to believe that every single painting made by these two is unavailable for purchase. Monkey: If pet llamas are available, why not monkeys?

Someone made little sculptures of all of those bizarre snowmen Calvin and Hobbes used to make. Real nostalgia.

An interesting idea to make going to movie theaters more profitable for the theater, the studio, AND the moviegoer. Basically, you choose two theaters (he presents the scenario of a mainstream theater and an indie theater) and pay a monthly fee to be able to go to the movies whenever you want. You still have to ask for a ticket, which are first-come-first-serve, but you don't have to pay for it. And if you don't go to the movies the theater still makes money. Depending on which movie you go to a portion of your fee will go to the studio that made that movie. Furthermore, this membership will allow more targeted advertising opportunities. PNQ: Opinions?
