Zooborn

The Sand Cat, native to hot, dry areas, even too extreme for the African Wildcat, has become almost extinct in many areas in which it was once common.  Recently, due to the efforts of the Zookeepers at Israel's Safari Zoo, a new Sand Cat has been bred in captivity.


Hullo, I'm endangered. (of being too cute!, but seriously, there aren't many of us left)

Boxing A Bear

Before WWE or WCW the only entertainment in fighting was bear boxing.  At the time, few knew the fights were fixed and semi-choreographed.  Here's an example from a fight between boxer Gus Waldorf and Mr. Bear.  In this fight, it's Mr. Bear's turn to win:


"Alright let me get my balance here. Wait, hey don't start yet."

"Alright, I'm up on two legs, check it out Gus.  Ow! Careful,
you're going to crack my sternum dude. Cripes!"

"Oof, take your time, sit down and catch your breath. 
I'm sweating my balls off over here."

"Why are you hitting yourself!? Ha, psych! Just messin'
with you.  We're cool bro."

"Okay, here I come with the finishing blow. Make it look real." 

"Crap, Dude, are you okay? Sorry."

It's Hot As Shih-Tzu's In Salem

Though dogs do have sweat glands, they don't sweat much.  Thermoregulation takes place by panting when saliva evaporates from the tongue cooling the blood.  When that doesn't do the job, they do this:

Awesome Playable/Recordable Google Guitar Logo Today

A Google Doodle is an artistic version of the Google logo usually posted to commemorate a holiday or an important event.  It started on August 30, 1998 with the Burning Man Festival as a way for Google's founders to notify user's of their absence in case the servers went down.


Over the years it has become a regular occurrance and a team of designers has been busy designing over 300 designs for google.com in the US and over 700 internationally.


Some of the designs have been very unique, like the playable Pacman game to celebrate the anniversary of Pacman.  But today's is the best I've seen.  Today's Google Doodle commemorates Les Paul's birthday.  It's a playable guitar that lets you record for 30 seconds and leaves you a unique link so you can keep your recording.  Though, for some reason everything you play on it sounds like crappy indie hipster music. (see True Story...)

That was not easy.

Ha!

This is fantastic.  Rather than just admitting she made a mistake while referring to Paul Revere's history (while visiting Paul Revere's house with the media) in a brief interview, Sarah Palin defends herself on Fox News citing "gotcha" journalism. I love how Chris Wallace laughs in her face at the end.



In a ridiculous attempt to change history in Palin's favor, her brilliant supporters took to Paul Revere's Wikipedia page to make revisions. (Wikipedia revision history)

This is quite sad but it is a glimpse of the future.  Soon America will have an illiterate former beauty queen as its president.  Thank goodness she has such a close relationship with Russia.  I'm sure all of that foreign relations experience will get the US economy back on track...   I for one, will welcome a new simpleton as president and her patriotic stance to acheive such new and exciting things as "securing our freedoms" and "warnin' us with bells" if anybody is planning on "takin' away our arms."  I sure as hell don't want anybody takin' my arms or my legs for that matter.

Lords of Salem Filming Update

Here's a new article in which Rob Zombie talks about filming a Woolite commercial and returning to Massachusetts to film Lords of Salem at the end of the summer.
"...it's a very unique-looking town when it comes to the architecture of the buildings and the streets. I had kind of forgotten... I went back [to Salem] recently to do some scouting. I forgot how interesting the houses and the buildings were. It's very cinematic. It's a great back backdrop for something like this."       --Robert Bartleh Cummings Zombie
Anyway, IM Global Films recently released a synopsis of Lords of Salem and it goes like this:
     Heidi, a blonde rock chick, DJs at a local radio station, and together with the two Hermans (Whitey and Munster) forms part of the “Big H Radio Team”. 
     A mysterious wooden box containing a vinyl record arrives for Heidi, “a gift from the Lords”. She assumes it’s a rock band on a mission to spread their word. As Heidi and Whitey play the Lords’ record, it starts to play backwards, and Heidi experiences a flashback to a past trauma. 
     Later Whitey plays the Lords’ record, dubbing them the Lords of Salem, and to his surprise, the record plays normally and is a massive hit with listeners.
     The arrival of another wooden box from the Lords presents the Big H Team with free tickets, posters and records to host a gig in Salem. Soon Heidi and her cohorts find that the gig is far from the rock spectacle they’re expecting: the original Lords of Salem are returning, and they’re out for BLOOD.
According to the article, the film will be very "effects-heavy."  So the pre-production in the effects department has been working diligently on some disgusting masks and bodyparts no doubt.  Exciting!

Here are some pictures of the guys at Wayne Toth FX working on some props for the film.
