BBspot’s list Top 11 Signs You’re at a Geek’s House for Thanksgiving is pretty funny:

• Dark meat is separated from white meat using a light probe.
• Everyone mentions broadband, Linux or dual-core processors in their “I am thankful for…” speech.
• A round of Counter-Strike: Source determines who gets to carve the turkey.
• House decorated with plush microbes to celebrate the pilgrims bringing diseases to the new world.
• Someone constantly keeps saying “The pilgrims had coffee, didn’t they?”
• Plates have a heatsink attached to them so you don’t burn your mouth.
• The cranberries are caffeinated.
• Whipped cream for the pumpkin pie made with Dremel.
• Three words: Lego gravy boat.
• Pilgrim decorations have red hats instead of black ones.
• The turkey is given the opportunity for a saving throw before being butchered.

As you might expect, Leia’s Metal Bikini is a geek’s wet dream chock full of images of women dressed in Princess Leia’s metal bikini outfit from Return Of The Jedi. Although they’re all pretty tame, I’m still calling it NSFW.

Empire Online’s list of 50 Greatest Independent Films is pretty good, although there are a bunch of films on the list that I haven’t seen yet…

House of Cosbys (mirrored by waxy.org) is a series of some of the weirdest, funniest videos I’ve seen in a while. There’s some questionable language and imagery, so I’m calling it NSFW.

As a follow-up to my previous post a couple of weeks ago, Yahoo! News reports that another Vatican official has refuted “Intelligent Design”:

The Vatican’s chief astronomer said Friday that “intelligent design” isn’t science and doesn’t belong in science classrooms, the latest high-ranking Roman Catholic official to enter the evolution debate in the United States.

The Rev. George Coyne, the Jesuit director of the Vatican Observatory, said placing intelligent design theory alongside that of evolution in school programs was “wrong” and was akin to mixing apples with oranges.

“Intelligent design isn’t science even though it pretends to be,” the ANSA news agency quoted Coyne as saying on the sidelines of a conference in Florence. “If you want to teach it in schools, intelligent design should be taught when religion or cultural history is taught, not science.”

Exactly.

I like Richoid’s Worst President, Ever! merchandise, even if its punctuation doesn’t exactly mirror the Simpsons reference that first came to mind. 😉

The projects at Radical Cartography are very cool…

Napster is trying to make some headway against Apple’s iTunes/iPod empire in the UK with a new video campaign entitled Get The Whole Thing. The video is very NSFW and makes me want to live in the UK… 😉

Warner Brothers has released the first Superman Returns teaser trailer. I’m not sure what to make of it yet…
