Don’t get me wrong, Facebook can be pretty cool, but it too often devolves into something like the video FaceBook In Reality (YouTube video).

MadAtoms’ post Hillary Clinton: The Psycho Ex-Girlfriend of the Democratic Party was too good not to post… 🙂

The still untitled sequel to the 1998 X-Files film is supposedly debuting on July 25th; he official site will supposedly have a trailer soon. I was a big fan of the series except for the craptacular last season without David Duchovny), but the movie didn’t quite do it for me. Let’s hope that the sequel is better…

Update: Geeks Of Doom (via CNN) posted that the new title is The X-Files: I Want To Believe.

New Scientist reports that dolphins can swim no more than 54 kilometers per hour, primarily because swimming any faster causes painful cavitation bubbles to form near the tail. Pretty wild…

CNN reports that “The Air Force decided to accelerate the retirement of the F-117s to free up money to modernize the rest of the fleet. The F-117 is being replaced by the F-22 Raptor, which also has stealth technology.” I guess I can understand their rationale, but I’m surprised that this has happened so soon, especially considering how many aircraft types have been in service for much longer than the F-117. Based on this news, I’m wondering whether we’ll even see any Stealth Fighters on the air show circuit this year… 🙁

The last F-117s scheduled to fly will leave Holloman on April 21, stop in Palmdale, California, for another retirement ceremony, then arrive on April 22 at their final destination: Tonopah Test Range Airfield in Nevada, where the jet made its first flight in 1981.

The Simpsons Park has a comprehensive list of art references from the show. One of my favorites is above (I’m a big M.C. Escher fan)…

Topless Robot’s list of The 10 Star Wars Toys that Unintentionally Look Like Other Celebrities is hilarious! I know that I’m not the only one that saw the General Rieekan/John Kerry similarity… 😉

If you haven’t already, you should definitely take a look at the trailers for the new Speed Racer movie. I’m not sure what to make of it yet. It’s definitely not like the Old School cartoon, but I’m wondering whether it’s too hyperkinetic and oversaturated. Definitely worth the watch for me, although I hope I’m not disappointed…

Check out this YouTube video of quite possibly the worst hockey “fight” ever.

April Fools’ Day On The Web is collecting all of today’s pranks on the Interweb for your viewing pleasure. Google Blogoscoped has another nice roundup.

By the way, Happy Birthday, Tobias! 🙂
