Star Wars physics: Michio Kaku discusses the possibilities of building a lightsaber

This is pretty self-explanatory.

Can you build a real lightsaber? Well....NO. I mean not at least by today's standards.... IN THEORY tho, anything is possible. Watch this Michio Kaku video, it is delightful. :-)
In it he explores the realistic obstacles facing the modern-day construction for a weapon of elegance (I don't know about the 'civilized time' part though....) such as this. The end product is a drastically visual difference to what you'd expect but it fits the bill as far as form and function go.

Since this article seems to be lacking in the substance department I think I will add another video the mix along the same lines.....

and for comedic effect.....can't forget tha haters.

3. Breaking GoT news: 'the Mountain' is the strongest Viking in 1,000 years......IRL..for real

Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, best known for playing Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane in HBO's Game of Thrones adaptation, just broke a 1,000-year old Viking strength record by carrying a 640 kg (~1410 pound) log across his back for five steps. According to Viking legend, the previous record holder was Ormur Stórólfsson, who managed to carry the log (which was actually the mast of a Viking ship) for three steps before breaking his back and being forced to quit. via Geekologie via the parent article

(click here or here or here or really....anywhere in this little area to read the source article... blah blah)
Now typically when I read some junk like this the skeptic in me comes out..... and I look for reasons to debunk and scrutinize and I try to check my sources and fact check the site too....anyways.... I did a two day search over this article, probably about 4 hours total, and I couldn't find anything debunking this...... and that is alarming..... normally you see something like this and it is blow out up context or just fearmongering but as far as I can tell......not this time. spread the word. shareholders and CEOs dont want your independence.

9. I may have already posted this, but just in case......'The Mushroom/LSD Experience Explained & Explored'

"Anyone that has tried a psychedelic drug know that it’s impossible to fully explain the experience to someone who hasn’t tried one. The entertainment industry completelymisrepresents these experiences with dragons flying out of people’s faces and walls melting into nothing, which never occur even with strong doses. So, here is my best attempt at explaining the psychedelic experience."

Another day another Fan theory: This one is about the simpsons

The simpsons....... that one show with those yellow people who have done EVERYTHING imaginable (SIMPSONS DID IT!)

The internet........ that super highway of linked computers and information full of wonder, and nonsense, and love and hate (and porn).

Sometimes (and by sometimes I mean ALL the time......heck that why I do this lil' thing here).... okay..... quite a bit..... we get to see lil tidbits of gold. Lil gems of cleverness and little trinkets and thoughts that are plain priceless......and also..... FAN THEORIES... such wonderful, pointless bits of fictional logic that add to, detract from, and flat-out enhance the lores of many of the franchises and stories we have come to cherrish. The Star Wars ring theory..... INDIANA JONES 5 being an asphyxiating and refrigerating hallucination, Inspector Gadget is doctor Claw etc....
I GOT A NEW ONE

It involves the aforementioned Simpsons family....... continue reading for the scoop.

IRRELEVANT QUESTION OF THE DAY

Chad Howse on Clint Eastwood being a Bad Arse and things of that nature....

The Pussy Generation to which he is referring should not be limited to Generation-Y, it’s a collective nomenclature for people born within the last 30 years. The people who attack and harass the 1 percent for the redistribution of wealth.

Sometimes motherfu%&@rs keep it real...... It's just the nature of the beast..... and we all had facing hard truths. That's why I respect A-holes (I didn't say like.....I said respect), they won't generally lie to you and they won't hesitate to Eff you up with some 'Troof' from time to time. That being said...... I came across this article that has just the right amount of sass. and It is about Us all.... (at least those born in the last 30 yrs) and I think that you should consider reading this, taking an honest look at yourself intro and extrospectively, and asking how much pertains to you....

 But what the average plebeian can’t comprehend is that these people have worked hard for their money. Nowhere in the great literature of humanity does it dictate the redistribution of wealth. Isn’t that socialism? Communism? And don’t we hate the damn reds?

Godless parenting......... The way to go? (I think so but that's your choice too)

YO internet! (Yo joe!)
I have just finished up on some early morning sunday-internet browsing and I have a neat little article to talk about...... It is called 'Godless parents are doing a better job' and I'd like to share it with you. The article talks about a study that has been going on for over 40 years between religious and non-religious families comparing their upbringings and ethics.The findings are quite interesting and no correlation has been drawn (at least that I can tell) between amoral behavior and a religious upbringing.

"Far from being dysfunctional, nihilistic and rudderless without the security and rectitude of religion, secular households provide a sound and solid foundation for children, according to Vern Bengston, a USC professor of gerontology and sociology."

EMGA (It's suppose to say MEGA but I'm leaving it) ARTICLE

I've had a littel bit to drink..... as evidenced by my drastic increase in spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors..... I apologize.... well kind of.....
You see... I am sorry... but..... I have been shoveling snow aggressively alllllll week long (working for my apartment complex entails perks such as that) so I am self medicating with the cheapest and most effective muscle relaxer and anti-inflammatory there is...... Alcohol*

Interesting article about cinematography and movie visuals

"Every Frame a painting"
I'm paraphrasing but I have heard this mantra iterated and reiterated in just about every film class or film study class I have ever taken. Kurosawa did it, Kubrick did it, and Hitchcock DEFINITELY DID IT. Lately I have become a big fan of my Boy Nicolas Winding Refn doing it... but I digress....
I stumbled on a few article pertaining to the subject and if you fancy yourself a film connoisseur like myself, you may enjoy this....although if youre a film buff chances are you already knows about this (cough cough... CITIZEN KAIN, Battle Potemkin.....) either way.... enjoy (I love any mentions of Akira Kurosawa because he is my favorite director of all time son)

1st up...... STANLEY KUBRICK 
(after a brief aside about Akira Kurosawa....)

If you don't know about it him...you should. His films are marvelous and his influence is heavy in american pop culcture..... from A bugs life, to Star Wars, to Eastwood Trilogies, and even a hint of that Ghost Dog http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Kurosawa

Da Pirate Bay is Back (for the most part)

Just came acrosss this article... share it... spread the word ye internet pirates: (exerpt from an article on ventureboat.com

The Pirate Bay, widely known as the most popular file-sharing website on the planet, is back online after the longest outage it has ever experienced. Anyone visiting thepiratebay.se domain today will be welcomed with a functioning site, as if nothing had ever happened almost two months ago.
On December 9, police in Stockholm raided a data center, seizing servers and other computer equipment. The Pirate Bay was one of many peer-to-peer and torrent-related websites and services that went down that day. The raid was in response to a complaint from Swedish anti-piracy group Rights Alliance.
On December 15, The Pirate Bay released its first and only official statement — a member said the team hadn’t decided if it would return. On December 22, the official domain suddenly came back online, albeit only as a single page. It went through various iterations, dropping hints left, right, and center. Now, it features the familiar search page, with a phoenix logo in place of the traditional pirate."
