Extremetech’s recent second-place winner in a case mod competition is this very cool Boeing 737 Case Mod.

The Onion’s AV Club presents Beyond “D’oh!”: Simpsons Quotes For Everyday Use. Of course, I can easily come up with a lot more, but a lot of these are pretty good… 🙂

While I’m on the topic of unusual movie images, I might as well post retroCRUSH’s collection of Polish movie posters. Now that is some pretty surreal stuff…

Check out these somewhat freaky-looking Russian Movie Illustrations. From what I can tell, they are meant to mimic the style of folk story illustrations, but the text is hard to read and translate because it seems to contain elements of Old Church Slavonic.

CNN reports that the among the latest additions to Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary is the verb “google,” defined as “to use the Google search engine.” Other new entries include “himbo,” “mouse potato,” “bling,” “soul patch,” “unibrow,” “birdflu,” and “biodiesel.” Hehehe. They said “himbo.” 🙂

Fully Ramblomatic.com’s Armageddon Flowchart is pretty funny…

NetValley has constructed an interesting History Of The Internet Timeline that concentrates on the history of technologies that contributed to the development of the Internet, starting with the telegraph in 1836.

All together now: “Awwww…” :-p

NPR has an interesting story about “Weird Al” Yankovic’s attempts to parody James Blunt’s song You’re Beautiful on an upcoming album:

In a career spanning more than 25 years, pop-music parodist “Weird Al” Yankovic hasn’t exactly ranked among the music business’ fiercest iconoclasts: He doesn’t release his song parodies without the consent of the artists being parodied, and he’s rarely used the Internet as more than a tool to promote his projects and connect with his fans. But a music label’s efforts to block a (relatively tame) parody of James Blunt’s ubiquitous hit You’re Beautiful has Yankovic fighting back publicly, and using his Web site as a tool to do so.

Although Yankovic supposedly got an OK from James Blunt, Atlantic Records, Blunt’s record label, refused to give its permission. Rather than get his own record label involved in a pissing match, Weird Al is taking the high road and releasing the song to the masses on his official web site as as a free, DRM-less MP3. Go Al!

For those of you that didn’t manage to see the movie trailer to the Borat movie trailer I posted about before it got pulled, here is the “official” trailer (embedded QuickTime video).
