Princess of Mars fanfic from the 1960s puts some damn clothes on Deja Thoris

The Onion AV Club’s editor has been reviewing a stash of pulpy paperbacks he got at a garage sale, and now Keith Phipps has hit on a fascinating double-novel by a semi-forgotten author. It’s sort of twisted, quasi-feminist Barsoom fan-fiction. I’d never heard of A. Bertram Chandler before reading Phipps’ review, but I’m now dying…

Scott Pilgrim is an epic for the Nintendo generation

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is a fast, funny, and successful adaptation of the original comics. But more than that, it’s a starkly original film that plays on its audience’s immersion in the culture of sitcoms, video games, and comics. It’s worth saying upfront that Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Edgar Wright’s adaptation of Bryan…

38-Year Old Sony CRT TV Turns Into a Lightbox-Frame

How many would trade in their grannies for an old Sony TV-750 CRT from 1972? Or, to rephrase that question, how many would swap them for a Sony TV-750 recycled into a photo frame? The end result is something which would sit proud next to an Eames chair in a retro-modern home (despite being made…

Four-eared cat is at least twenty times cuter than non-mutant kitties

This tiny Russian kitten is named Luntik, and he’s got four ears. I’m pretty sure his mutant power is cuteness – just look at that ridiculous tongue! Another four-eared cat was born about two years ago in the United States. It looks truly alien, but I still want to scritch behind all of its ears.…

Futurama turns intelligent design on its head with robot evolution

Last night’s truly awesome Futurama episode offered a ringing endorsement of evolution, but not without a twist or two along the way as its fiercest defender became the accidental creator of an entire robotic world. This week’s episode, “A Clockwork Origin”, felt shockingly old school, with the entire crew (minus Zoidberg) given equal time to…
