- The perfect car for people who’ve always wanted to drive in a river, but nothing deeper: the sQuba. It goes up to 33 feet underwater and has an electric engine. Good luck with all that.
- Warning: there’s now a flesh-eating STD. You’ve all been warned. It’s apparently hitting mostly gay communities right now but is presumably set to jump into the mainstream any day now.
- Will Smith as a drunken superhero. That is all.
- TerraCross is now manufacturing a home on wheels. It sort of looks like a garbage truck, but it is in fact a complete home. For one.
- Meanwhile, Japanese farmers get equipped with cybernetic exoskeletons. I, for one, welcome our exoskeleton-wearing rural overlords.
- This one’s for Will: Sheik is back.
- And, finally, Uwe Boll’s banned from making big budget movies because, well, they do horribly. My favorite quote from this article: “…the infamous German director and pouting pugilist will see his future endeavors financially constrained after his latest $70 million video game adaptation, “In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale,” set the box-office alight with all the effectiveness of two moist fish furiously rubbed together.”
