Dispatches from Bizarro World

The New York Times gives the new 'Miami Vice' movie an orgasmically positive review

Mr. Mann transforms what is essentially a long, fairly predictable cop-show episode into a dazzling (and sometimes daft) Wagnerian spectacle...Some of the most captivating sequences have an abstract quality, as if Mr. Mann were paying homage to the avant-garde, anti-narrative cinema of Stan Brakhage


Slashdot actually answers an engineering grad student who wants to find a place where he can work

without the pressure of money and immediate results


...The answer may be as close as his local Burger King. I hear they're hiring.

And finally, NewScientist casts doubt on the existence of black holes. Take that, Stephen Hawking! Mister 'I-had-a-guest-spot-on-'The Simpsons'-and-you-didn't'. Not so awesome now, are we?

I wish I could ask my Astrophysicist friend about this, but I just got him to stop sending me sexually suggestive text messages, and I don't want to get him all riled up again.

haahahahahahahahaha

Miami Mice, er, Vice is not something I ever wanted to see - TV or movie. Although, Colin Farrell is HOT.

I have an aversion to Slashdot...

Stephen Hawking rules - too bad you don't realize this :p~ Seriously, it would be a huge issue if Black Holes don't exist...there goes Star Trek!

And, for your own health, do not contact Astrosexual guy!

Penguin, you are brilliant. I forevermore dub him: the Astrosexual.


Perhaps I was a bit harsh on Stephen Hawking. After all, he deserves credit for bringing physics to the people. I just never got over how he divorced his wife for his nurse. I should know better ; a lot of really brilliant scientists are totally horrible people.
