Check out this great piece of Geek Art from artist ChrisBrand showing off his vision of what The Flash would look like during the 1940s/World War II era. I love the design, and I could definitely see him and Captain America together kicking ass. Here’s a note from the artist… This is my take on a 40s version of The Flash. Didn’t want to overdo it with very sci-fi gadgets, nano-fabrics or general high-tech neon-glowy-stuff. Wanted it to feel like a first trial run of the suit before it became the red/yellow spandex suit it is today. Hope you like it! What do you think of it? (Original post from here)

Chun Li vs Cammy: real life

An unexpected side effect of the 2010 flooding in parts of Sindh, Pakistan, was that millions of spiders climbed up into the trees to escape the rising flood waters; because of the scale of the flooding and the fact that the water took so long to recede, many trees became cocooned in spiderwebs. People in the area had never seen this phenomenon before. (Courtesy: National Geographic)

Since the closure of file-sharing site MegaUpload and the following Anonymous attack on federal and music industry sites, details regarding the arrest of MegaUpload founder Kim “Dotcom” Schmitz havebeen made public.

Schmitz then engaged several electronic locks throughout the household and refused to allow police entry into the $23 million mansion in Coatesville, New Zealand. As police officers forced their way into the home, Schmitz barricaded himself in the mansion’s safe room. After police sliced through the safe room door, they found him next to a sawed-off shotgun.

Sleeping With Celebrities of the Day: Comedian Mark Malkoff — who’s done some pretty weird sh*t in his day — tries to save some cash while visiting Hollywood by attempting to convince a few celebrities (and a few “celebrities”) to let him crash on their couch (or, you know, treehouse).
