A Hat That Shoots Lightning And Plays Theme Tunes

This is exactly as awesome as it sounds. A young fellow from MIT recently took it upon himself to create what is arguably the most amazing piece of headwear this side of the celestial plane. Taking a cue from the closest thing that mankind has ever had to an honest-to-god mad scientist, Nikola Tesla, the unnamed student decided that the best way to bring all the milkshakes to his yard this Halloween was to strap a fully functioning Tesla Coil to his skull…

…then make it play the theme tune to Mortal Kombat.

Two Trailers for Films I Am Going to Watch, Even Though I Know I Shouldn’t

So Scream 4 went on circuit last week, and Deathly Hallows Part 2 graces our local screens this Friday. The latter is apparently very exciting.

Every fibre of my questionable being is telling me not to watch these movies. Each will be a disappointment, of that I have very little doubt. They are sequels of sequels, and any Sci-fi nerd worth his tribbles will tell you that making a copy of a copy is an awful, awful idea, virtually guaranteed to end in bloodshed. Likely they will then proceed to describe to you, in graphic detail, exactly how your character is most likely to die, before carefully explaining how their escape plan from whatever terrifying situation they have concocted is full-proof. They will tell you how they have considered every eventuality and evaluated every risk. They will probably then stab themselves in the eye with a pencil.
