This is a cartoon of Batman responding to the Bat Signal . Apparently he’s a soccer (football) fan. Who knew? I always pinned him as more of a yacht racing kind of superhero . Or is that Thomas Crown? Steal me a Picasso! Even The Dark Knight deserves an evening off [ramblingsofamadman] Thanks to Greg, who once hit Batman with a bottle rocket and burnt a hole in his cape. Oh you are so bad!

Is she trying to channel Britney, circa February 2007? But in all seriousness, I actually really like Alicia Keys. She's beautiful and talented and amazing. Nevertheless, this is not a good look! It's just the glare of the light,…

You want a watch with a flashlight in it? Tape a flashlight to your Seiko. Want a watch with a flashlight in it made by a well-known tool manufacturer? Enter the Stanley LED Torch Watch (suck it, Stanley Calculator/Tape Measure watch!). Of course, I’m holding out for a laser watch. I don’t even care if the watch works, just the lasers. Anybody want to know what time it is? PEW time! stanley flashlight watch is overkill for most wrists [technabob]

The Gaon Street Lamp was designed by Haneum Lee to turn trash into treasure. If light is treasure , which it’s not. So I have no idea why I said that. Besides I’m awesome and I meant it. the Gaon street light/wastebasket concept composts biodegradable waste and uses the methane by-product to power its light, saving energy and eliminating waste while lighting the streets. but I’m not too sure if the Gaon can be turned into a real product. For starters, how much trash is needed to produce a decent amount of methane, and how long will it take before the trash produces the gas? And remember, only biodegradable waste will produce the methane, but in urban areas a large part of the waste comes in the form of plastic, glass and other non-biodegradable materials. Interesting, I really like these conceptual green products. Unfortunately, I see gangs stuffing these things full of plastic water bottles so they can mug you under the cover of darkness. Me? I only mug under the cover of a dinosaur comforter. RAWR! gaon street light/wastebasket turns trash into flash [technabob]

I may not be Jennifer Love Hewitt's biggest fan, but I have to say, this is a stunning picture of her! It almost looks like you could Photoshop in a field of poppies and rolling hills, and J. Love…

Two German scientists claim to have broken the speed of light . They are liars and should lose their science licenses . What do you mean you don’t need a license to practice science? WELL YOU SHOULD! According to Einstein’s special theory of relativity, it would require an infinite amount of energy to propel an object at more than 186,000 miles per second. However, Dr Gunter Nimtz and Dr Alfons Stahlhofen, of the University of Koblenz, say they may have breached a key tenet of that theory. The pair say they have conducted an experiment in which microwave photons - energetic packets of light - travelled “instantaneously” between a pair of prisms that had been moved up to 3ft apart. The scientists were investigating a phenomenon called quantum tunnelling, which allows sub-atomic particles to break apparently unbreakable laws. Dr Nimtz told New Scientist magazine: “For the time being, this is the only violation of special relativity that I know of.” Yeah, no. Is the universe still here? Then these two crackpots didn’t shoot shit faster than the speed of light. And speaking of shooting shit faster than the speed of light: the new Black Jack taco from Taco Bell. Plumber!! ‘We have broken speed of light’ [telegraph] Thanks to Allegro, who once ran out for beer and returned before he even left (got hit be a street sweeper and passed out in a ditch for a whole day).

This is the winner of the hit television series Ukraine’s Got Talent , Kseniya Simonova, showing off her sand manipulating skills. And let me tell you, it’s impressive . Almost as impressive as the time I made a three-bucket sandcastle at the beach before the ocean washed it away. DAMN YOU, POSEIDON, YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE LAST OF ME! Youtube Thanks to Joemo, Misa, Harriet and naas, who have all kicked sand in an opponent’s face during a fistfight.

Bacon , perhaps the most versatile tool on the planet (suck it, duct tape !), can be fashioned into just about anything. Including, but not limited to: guns and lube . And what more does a person really need (besides the love of a good woman and maybe a pet )?! Anyway, Flickr user Kris Kelley went and made a lampshade out of bacon slices and posted a little picture tutorial. And one thing’s for certain: I bet it smells divine when it heats up! Plus, 10 to 1 odds your dog eats the whole lamp first you leave the house. Ever seen a dog pass an electric cord? It’s something you don’t forget. Flickr Gallery Thanks to jessica, who gamma radiated a pig in the hopes of creating naturally glowing bacon. Unfortunately, it just turns green and beats the shit out of things when it gets mad.

Awesome, a lamp powered by human blood . Because this will end well. What if, every time you wanted to switch on a light, you had to bleed? Would you think twice before illuminating the room, and in turn, using up energy? That’s the idea behind the blood lamp, invented by Mike Thomspon, an English designer based in The Netherlands. The lamp contains luminol - the same chemical forensic scientists use to check for traces of blood at a crime scence. Luminol reacts with the iron in red blood cells and creates a bright blue glow. To use the lamp, you first need to mix in an activating powder. Then, you break the glass, cut yourself, and drip blood into the opening. And this, my friends, is how our robotic overlords will read their Kindles at night. And I’ll be damned if I become some robot’s lamp juice. You hear me?! You will never take my blood! Quick, Edward , bite me! DO IT NOW, NANCY! *swoon* God I love your hair. Lamp Runs On Human Blood [livescience] Thanks to Dustin, who has never kissed a vampire (he didn’t like).

We haven't seen the 'Tis smile this much since those nudie pix of Vanessa Hudgens leaked to the web! Kidding, of course, but it is great to see that Ashley's lightened up not only her locks but her attitude! Guess…
