Children Of The ’80’s: Dust Off Your Tennis Ball Cannons
…’Cause American Gladiators is coming back to T.V.. I wonder if they’ll bring back the gladiators’ character names — Nitro, etc. — or whether we’re in for something a little bit different. In any event: w00t!

Kiss My Shiny, Foil-Based Optical Media!
From ComiCon comes the wonderful news that Futurama is back with a vengeance as of late November ’07. It will be back as a 4 episode per DVD, 4 DVD set, bringing the total to 16 brand new episodes which will also run on Comedy Central (over and over and over, I’ll wager, given CC’s…

While I’m In The “Posting Videos” Mood…
Submitted for your enjoyment/consideration. A Demetri Martin “video” that’s little more than a still shot with a voice-over. Still, it’s pretty good comedy (and it beats taking the airlines): The Robot Chicken Star Wars Special, Part 1:

Looks Like We’ll Never Need Another Timmy
I read with a good deal of sadness that Mr. Wizard died yesterday morning. For all of you youngsters, he was like Beakman or Bill Nye, oldschool-style.

It Just Doesn’t Get Any Cooler Than Mythbusters Vs. The Ninja

Translation: CNN Headlines To English
I have noticed that CNN/CNN Headline News have begun “tagging” all of their news with helpful chronological crawler/ticker headline messages. These tags allow one to, at a glance, determine approximately how old the news they are being presented with is. However, these messages are not in plain English.

“What We Call The News”
Those JibJab cats (the ones that brought you the memorable This Land Is Your Land spoof during the ’04 elections) are back with another catchy video called “What We Call The News“. Check it out:
