Time To Saw My Own Legs Off

Nadya Vessey lost her legs at the knees when she was a child... and now special effects and costume design company Weta Workshop has built a prosthetic, fully-functional mermaid tail for her at her request.

The tail is composed of wetsuit fabric and plastic and is custom painted, and allows Nadya to swim effectively.

This is so cool I don't even know where to begin. If we had the technology to give me gills too, I'd be chopping at my knees with a hatchet while typing this.

The Systematic Rape Of Our Childhood Continues

Universal Pictures has announced intentions to develop a new movie based on the best-selling game Clue, with Gore Verbinski (of Pirates of the Caribbean fame) as director.

I only have one problem with this... it was already done back in 1985, and was poorly received by critics and moviegoers back then (I loved it, but I'm notorious for liking bad movies). Remaking a movie that wasn't terribly successful the first time around sounds an awful lot like Einstein's definition of insanity.

The only way in hell I'd go see this is if Tim Curry reprises his role as the butler.
