Following the recent trend of artists practically giving their music away, Nine Inch Nails is offering the newest album “The Slip” for free!

Whether you’re a fan or not, you’ve got to admit this is a cool move.
Not to mention Reznor has already offered previous songs up to the fans to be remixed as they please.
Earlier this month, Garrett Reisman threw out the first pitch of the baseball game between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. However, Garrett wasn’t actually at the game. In fact, he wasn’t even on Earth. He was aboard the International Space Station.
On Earth, a baseball is thrown in an arc to counter gravity. In space, Garrett had to learn how to throw in a straight line.
Apparently when astronauts aren’t working (or sleeping), they’re having fun. Lots of fun..
In addition to their space treadmill and stationary bike, they’ve played weightless basketball, Frisbee and tossed boomerangs, to name a few. But the rules change in the absence of gravity.

It’s very interesting to think what kind of new space sports will crop up as Mankind moves out to the stars. The “Battle Room” from Ender’s Game comes to mind.

As an adult, nursery rhymes take on a different meaning.
Wired.com has put together a short list of celebrity D&D characters in honor of the late D&D god, Gary Gygax.
I’m a little dissapointed they didn’t take the time to draft actual character sheets, but they are funny nonetheless.

The 2nd movie adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune is currently in production (barely in production, there’s no script yet). It will be produced by Peter Berg (The Kingdom, Friday Night Lights..) and IMDB shows it as having a 2010 release.
Dune has often been called “the greatest science fiction novel of all time”. It won the Hugo and Nebula awards and broke a few different records. More people have read it than have read The Bible (really).
The 1984 movie adaptation of the book has been called “confusing as all Hell”. In the past, fans have been somewhat divided on it. Probably because Sting was in it.
In 2000, a three part Dune mini-series aired on the Sci-Fi channel.
I’m excited to see a new movie version of one of my favorite books. Let’s just hope it doesn’t suck.
This time it’s for real: new Dune movie confirmed (sffmedia.com)

I recently watched the “Big Dog” video over at Occasional Fish. Watching the video, I was overcome with an urge to push over the robot and make it fall. Is that wrong?
In the interest of the morality of abusing robots, some scientists have done just that. Jump for the original video of the Big Dog and then the “beta test” version of the same. This is science pushing the boundaries. Fascinating stuff! JUMP!

Attention humans! The old Comedy Central show “BattleBots” has now been transported to ESPN. Additionally, many of the more annoying human elements have been removed. You would identify these as Bill Dwyer and Carmen Electra. The new show will focus on the competitive nature of the sport and will be devoid of terrible Dwyer jokes and sweaty human mammary glands.
The rules, the arena and the robots have all been changed. We promise no more “wedge vs. wedge” combat. Instead, the combatants will be more diversified. We might even construct a mock human robot, to be annihilated while we beep with what you might call laughter!
Bow down to your new overlords!

It’s here at last! Stargate - The Ark of Truth was released in video stores on March 11th. This straight-to-DVD movie picks up where the Stargate SG-1 series ended. SG-1 is close to locating the ancient weapon that will help defeat the Ori, but the weapon turns out to be located in the Ori galaxy.
The whole cast returns to help with the effort, however Richard Dean Anderson does not make an appearance. That’s a damn shame.
It’s really more like a 90 minute episode than a “movie” but fans of the series will not be dissapointed.

Today, March 14th is Steak and Blowjob Day! This holiday is essentially Valentine’s Day for Men.
Celebrate this holiday by giving your man a big juicy steak and a big juicy blowjob (it doesn’t have to be in that order). No cards, flowers, candy or other gifts. Just filet mignon and fellatio.

“Small brewers from Australia to Oregon face the daunting prospect of tweaking their recipes or experimenting less with new brews thanks to a worldwide shortage of one key beer ingredient and rising prices for others.”
Micro Brewers Faced With Hops Shortage to Raise Beer Prices, Alter Recipes (foxnews.com)
The “big” beer distributors will be largely unaffected by this. However, micro brewers may be forced to change prices or ingredients (yikes!).
Expect rioting on a planetary scale.
Formed in 2001 by Charlie Todd, Improv Everywhere is an comedy group based in New York City. The “missions” they conduct are hilarious but non-demeaning pranks. Their objective is simply to make bystanders laugh or stop and stare in disbelief.
The “Frozen Grand Central” mission had several hundred “agents” freeze in place at the exact same time in Grand Central Station for five full minutes. The reactions of bystanders is hilarious. Jump to see the video of this and other pranks from Improv Everywhere.
Evidently, everything is gay.
