Would you fly in an airplane that had no seats?
Man, our airports are in a mess these days. If you're not being buggered thanks to dodgy staff with a "Eff you" man attitude, then another local flight operator is closing down and leaving you stranded.

The new Megaupload site has already been shut down
Oh Kim Dotcom, you never cease to amaze me with your unrelenting arrogance. While Megaupload may have landed the Kimgpin in hot water (And jail) last year, the big man is bouncing back with a new file-sharing site by the name of Me.Ga, which has a foolproof method of avoiding the authorities this time.

One, two, this premium Freddy Krueger figure is coming for you!
If there's one great movie villain out there, it's Freddy Krueger. A child molester, killer and all around jerkass, the maniac was bad enough before he was resurrected into an unstoppable creation of nightmare fuel.

Behold, the taco cannon!
There is nothing that mankind cannot kill, giving enough time and resources. We're currently weaponising greenhouse effects in order to enact some payback on Mother Nature for all those millenia of natural disasters, and now, we've turned the deadliest piece of Mexican cuisine into a tool of destruction.

The American elections are right around the corner this week, and while we won't be seeing people downloading iPad apps in order to rock their vote, you can rest assured that NASA is putting tax payers money into a method to allow their astronauts to cast their ballot. Here's how they're doing it.
