Velociraptors Now Hunting Drivers On Indiana Roads

Jesus Diaz — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 11:59:59 EST

The apocalyptical road sign hacking continues after zombies attacked Austin a few days ago. Now, fossil raptors have been revived in Indiana and they are attacking motorists. At least, that's what some of them think.

One of the drivers interviewed by The Indy Channel in Hamilton County said: "it's kind of crazy. I'm totally confused. I'm kind of expecting… dinosaurs to run down the road, or something." Yes Beavis, zombie raptors are going to eat us all. [The Indy Channel]

5 Million-Piece LEGO Boulder Chases Indy, Crashes Into Car

Ah LEGO, how much do we love you? Let me count the ways: five million. The same amount of million multicolored pieces needed to create this solid boulder, as big as the one in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Then get a fake Professor Henry Jones (You call this archaeology?), fake Sallah (Asps. Very dangerous. You go first) and some other dudes to push it to chase a fake Indy down the streets of San Francisco. The result: an instant classic, even without the Hovitos. Let's hope the actual movie is this crazy and preposterous. [Indiana Jones and LEGO in Gizmodo—thanks Cristiano]

Samsung Uses Indy to Market its Rose Crystal HDTVs in Korea

With just three weeks to go before Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull hits theaters, Samsung is using the bullwhip-cracking adventurer for a little bit of promotion. Both the 50-inch and 58-inch models of its Rose Crystal HDTV come with an Indy DVD, as well as movie theater tickets. Personally, I'm looking forward to the scene in the film when Indy and Mutt are tied up to a pagan statue and, as a glacial Cate Blanchett advances on our heroes with an ice pick, Mutt's Samsung Soul cellphone rings in his pocket. It's Mom Marion, asking if he's going to be home for supper, and if he is, not to be late, because she's made him a soufflé and she doesn't want it to collapse. [i4U ]
