Popcorn anyone?

These are some awesome slow-motion videos of popcorn actually cooking and exploding. Doesn’t anything just look so much cooler in slow-motion? Anyway, we like the fact that you can really see the massive transformation from the corn kernel to the end product you put in your mouth.

The videos are only 13 seconds in length, so it a must watch!

Batmobile under the hammer

After finding out that the Ghostbuster car was on sale, we just had to do a post about one of the original Batmobiles being up for sale as well. The Batmobile is set to go under the hammer at the end of the month and should fetch in the region of $75 000.

At the end of next month, one of four original Batmobiles built by custom car grandmaster, George Barris, for the 1960s TV series, is set to go under the hammer in the UK. The car was on show recently at the Autosport Show in Birmingham’s NEC no doubt, in part, to help drum up some extra interest. Apologies for the pic of the car below, since Batman and Robin actually look kinda gay…

“Wa wa wee wa…oops!”

Love him or hate him, but there’s no denying that Sacha Baron Cohen’s Kazakh-styled character Borat has made a huge impact on the entertainment industry. Thousands of moviegoer’s flocked to cinemas all over the world to see Cohen’s wacky comedic creation, Borat Sagdiyev in action.

However, since the launch of Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan the British comedian has been sued by almost everyone including southern conservatives, frat boys, Romanian villagers and seemingly every other group in the “US and A”. Seemingly unfased he even thanked “every American who has not sued me so far” during his acceptance speech at this year’s Golden Globe awards.

The latest in a long list of lawsuits however might just cause a bit of a problem though. According to an Israeli comedian, Borat’s expression “Wa wa wee wa”, belongs to him. And, According to Good Evening With Guy Pines, an Israeli entertainment news show, comedian Dovale Glickman plans to sue Cohen for copyright infringement.

Glickman apparently coined the phrase 16 years ago, for a character on the hit Israeli comedy show Zehu Zeh. He further popularised the expression in a series of TV commercials for the Israeli yellow pages. It caught on and is still commonly heard on the Israeli street.

Did someone say, Uh oh?

The IT Kama Sutra

This is just a little something for all those uber computer geeks out there. I found this picture online and it was labeled as the official Kama Sutra for IT people…

Go-go Ghostbusters

Are you a big fan of the legendary and mythic Ghostbusters? Well, now you can own Ecto 1, the official Ghostbusters car (it’s actually a 1959 Cadillac). Over here you can buy this beauty for about $150 000. That might sound like a bit too much, but a true believer and fan (and semi-millionaire) would not blink an eye at the asking price.
