November 28th, 2011 No comments

Take from it what you will. This is not the first time we’ve noted past humans sharing death’s embrace.

Together for eternity: The skeletons of Roman lovers buried together holding hands

The pair are believed to have been buried together 1,500 years ago in a joint tomb inside the palace walls in Modena, indicating some sort of nobility towards the dying days of the Roman empire.

Observers say the woman seems to be looking lovingly at what scientists believe is her partner.

Focus: Responding to Frank Miller with Comics

November 20th, 2011 No comments

Comics creator Frank Miller(Batman:Year One, The Dark Knight Returns, Sin City) took to the Internet and let his thoughts fly free on the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Our thoughts on this? Frank Miller hasn’t written a damn thing worth reading since the mid 1990s. His recent rant proves this even more-so. But we must admit the comics response to his hooha has been quite amusing. It reminds of the Catwoman fiasco.

Here’s what we found so far.

It’s Movember! Watch @Rick_Snee Cultivate a Catepillar on His Upper Lip. Donate to Fight Cancer.

November 17th, 2011 No comments

Close friend in life, and friend of the site, Rick Snee, has been growing a moustache this merry month of Movember. He’s doing this to fight cancer because cancer must be fought.

Rick’s Motivation
“October is a huge cancer fighting month, and after a month of pink football players, everyone’s ready for a break. But, you know what doesn’t take a break? Cancer. And it affects more than just breasts. Men must take control of their health and be willing to talk about embarrassing medical issues that are symptoms of prostate, colon, and testicular cancer.”

As of this posting he’s collected $215(USD) for his trouble. Internet! We can do better than this! Donate now and fight that cancer with Snee’s hairy lip.

Just what is Movember?:

Once registered at www.movember.com, men start Movember 1st clean shaven. For the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their lives, Mo Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts.

Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November. Through their actions and words they raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.

Kevin is a robot dinosaur that traveled with The Doctor in the TARDIS. A few months ago, we learned, via Reddit, that this has been going on in the pages of the 11th Doctor‘s comics series.

WHY HAS NO ONE TOLD US THIS AWESOME HAS BEEN GOING ON!?
