No, this isn’t something the mainstream media couldn’t be bothered covering - it’s an article from The Onion (a news parody publication which has gone mainstream). Read it and found it too good to pass up sharing.

PYONGYANG, NORTH KOREA–Increasingly defiant toward international pressure since his nation’s first nuclear test in early October, North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il condemned this morning’s sunrise, calling it “another hostile, deliberately timed act by the world community” and “a clear and blatant declaration of war.” According to North Korean military sources, the sunrise, sighted at 6:17 a.m. by patrolling officers, was not fully confirmed until an hour later, at which time Kim assessed the threat himself, and immediately released a harshly worded warning to the U.S. and the United Nations Security Council.

Seeing these unauthorized photos I posted about back in 2006, it’s hard to completely dismiss this type of scenario from ever actually happening. Read the article here [via The Onion].

All of these pictures originally came from this website: http://bellflower.elfle.com/the-sky-can-be-incredible.html, I’m just rehosting them all in case they disappear (happens a lot unsurprisingly).

No, that’s just a screenshot. Head over to the official website Sock and Awe (lol) to give it a go.

I’m sure all of the Aussies reading this have already heard that GM-H will be manufacturing a new car alongside the Commodore. I’m just disappointed by what  people on the internets are saying, along the lines of; “it’s gay front wheel drive and four cylinders should have a twin turbo v8 rwd”. In the end we all need to remember that we’re going through an economic crisis, fuel prices will go back up again (they surely were high when Holdens were planning this car) and Holdens is a company whos job is to make a profit for parent company GM. We should all be thankful we still have RWD V8 powered Commodores to drive around in as well. /rant, here’s the infos:

I know I don’t usually cover mainstream stuff but this is just too hilarious to pass up.

I have got to admit, he’s got some damned good reflexes ducking like that.

We’ve already seen a keyboard for blondes, a mouse made into a mouse and a diamond encrusted mouse. Surely we’ve seen it all? How about a keyboard made of leather. I know you’re thinking “seen it”, but have you seen a keyboard with each individual key covered in cow?

At only $603USD this gorgeous keyboard would probably suck for gaming. Check it out here and here.
