So, if the Spider-Man movie has you drooling like a fanboy about new film adaptations of your favorite Marvel superheroes, you should know that there may be a new big-budget Fantastic Four movie around the bend in the next few years. However, few realize that an older low-budget Fantastic Four movie was made about a decade ago by Roger Corman, but was shelved and still remains officially unreleased. Thankfully, this hidden masterpiece has at least one fan site, a number of reviews, as well as a few purchasable copies floating out there to keep its memory alive.

Love it or hate it, oatmeal remains good for you, with an interesting history. In order to properly make oatmeal, one apparently needs a salt cellar, or one won't deserve oatmeal.

HubbleSite has information and some stunning pictures from everyone's favorite (formerly a bit near-sighted) space telescope. The wallpapers alone are worth the visit, and the pages on inner workings of the telescope are particularly interesting.

In at least one universe parallel to ours, the future of online social interaction is not IRC and AIM but instead Virtual Reality Nightclubs. And afterwards you can take your virtual vixen back to your virtual hotel room, but pray that she's not a furni whore.

History is rife with would be mediums such as Margery Crandon, the Fox Sisters, and Lamar Keene who turned out to be fakes. The latest batch includes James Van Praagh, Sylvia Browne, George Anderson, and most notably John Edward. Let's just say I am a bit skeptical.

By adulthood, Mendeleev's periodic table of the elements is firmly planted in a typical mind either as a tool for study or proof of mystical forces at work in nature. There are alternative structures: some clever and others using alternate media, extensions to the table providing nuclear structure, fermi surfaces, and line spectra. Still others are extraordinarily cross-thematic, merging chemistry with comic books, poetry or haiku. But only the grouping-nature of the columns is retained in rejected elements, condiments and beer. Eventually the elements and the periodic qualities have been lost entirely, reducing the periodic table to a design template for topical lists of funk and rock music, comedy and TV shows, famous mathematicians and presidents, even SGI products. Soon a complete breakdown of the scientific aspect yields no similarity to the original, becoming a glorified table, a marketing tool, or hype itself. There is mounting evidence of a conspiracy.

Masterfully combining Domokun, a Japanese oddity, with Steve Ballmer, an American oddity, results in the mind-boggling funny work of a Hivehaus and Echo23 collaboration: Domopers. Clearly, the next step has to involve Domokun and a Chris Cunningham-style Aphex Twin Windowlicker video montage.

Government is funny! YourCongress.com is a rich source of information about everything from classic Jim Traficant quotes (the man responsible for the most repetitions of the phrase "beam me up" in Congress) to Congressional haiku. Also notable: rankings of power among the members of Congress.
