Halloween season is upon us again, bringing about it that day of the month and age-old tradition of buying candy for random door knockers and lying about not having anything for the kids you don’t like the look of HA! Intended for your eyes only Monster Masher, the facts about Halloween:
Cool, I love Spirit Spiders!
They probably gave him a Scooby snack or something…
Meowkapow wished me “Happy Chewbacca Day” at 8 in the morning… Have you ANY idea how awesome it is to have a girlfriend say “Happy Chewbacca Day” at all??????
IT’S UUBER AWESOME THAT’S HOW AWESOME!!!
This animal knew how to PAR-TAY! Some are choosing to celebrate simply by changing their Facebook profile picture (a campaign has begun to remember Chewbacca by converting your profile picture on Tuesday, October 5) to something wookie related.
Other’s are a little more hardcore and have suggested talking like Chewie himself for the day – This might be of use:
Adorable – new wallpaper me thinks! Me thinks what is also being thunk is why is Chewie Day today of all days? Well it has something to do with a Star Wars novel – Geeks man, we’re crazy folks:
Tuesday October 5 is a day of mourning for Star Wars fans. It was this date in 1999 that Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Vector Prime by R. A. Salvatore was released by Del Rey.
The book, which was the first installment in the epic New Jedi Order series featured the heroic, yet tragic, death of the beloved Chewbacca.
Chewie, as he is commonly known, was first introduced to us in the movie, Star Wars, in 1977. He was the co-pilot of the Millennium Falcon and best friend to Han Solo. He was a strong warrior, brilliant mechanic, fantastic pilot, nobel, and loyal to the end.
In this book… Han Solo, then an Imperial Lieutenant, forfeited his career as an Imperial and rescued Chewbacca from death. For this act, Chewie felt he owed Han a life debt which later included Han’s wife, Leia Organa Solo, and children Anakin, Jacen, and Jaina Solo.
Chewbacca died helping young Anakin Solo rescue children from the destruction of the world Sernpidal. Anakin was forced to choose saving his family over Chewbacca, a decision even his father found hard to accept, “You left him, you left Chewie!”
Chewbacca is, to date, the only major character from the original Star Wars trilogy to be killed off in the Expanded Universe books.

Seriously? …ROAR OWR ROWRA!!! WHOA IT WORKED!
Just to clarify, pot is still illegal, but Arnie signed legislation that effectively decriminalizes possession of under an ounce.
What was a misdemeanor that could carry jail time is now simply an infraction with a maximum fine of $100. The bill goes into effect January 1 2011 – Kids of Cali rejoice!
To the Members of the California State Senate:
I am signing Senate Bill 1449.
This bill changes the crime of possession of less than an ounce of marijuana from a misdemeanor punishable only by a $100 fine to an infraction punishable by a $100 fine. Under existing law, jail time cannot be imposed, probation cannot be ordered, nor can the base fine exceed $100 for someone convicted of this crime.
I am opposed to decriminalizing the possession and recreational use of marijuana and oppose Proposition 19, which is on the November ballot.
Unfortunately, Proposition 19 is a deeply flawed measure that, if passed, will adversely impact California’s businesses without bringing in the tax revenues to the state promised by its proponents.
Notwithstanding my opposition to Proposition 19, however, I am signing this measure because possession of less than an ounce of marijuana is an infraction in everything but name. The only difference is that because it is a misdemeanor, a criminal defendant is entitled to a jury trial and a defense attorney.
In this time of drastic budget cuts, prosecutors, defense attorneys, law enforcement, and the courts cannot afford to expend limited resources prosecuting a crime that carries the same punishment as a traffic ticket.
As noted by the Judicial Council in its support of this measure, the appointment of counsel and the availability of a jury trial should be reserved for defendants who are facing loss of life, liberty, or property greater than $100.
For these reasons, I am signing this bill.
Sincerely, Arnold Schwarzenegger
As well as being immortalized on film, I’d say this immortalizes him as a Governor now. Weed appreciation day anyone?
The big ‘news being’ that our technology has/can finally detect life on other worlds; because if you’re amazed that life is possible beyond the stars then you must not look up at them often enough – Of course there’s life beyond Earth!
If micro organisms are capable of surviving billions of miles below the ocean in boiling sulphur then the probability of atmospheric conditions on other worlds throughout the universe bearing life is a 100% certainty… bitch
The planet, found by astronomers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and the Carnegie Institution of Washington, is orbiting in the middle of the “habitable zone” of the red dwarf star Gliese 581, which means it could have water on its surface.
Liquid water and an atmosphere are necessary for a planet to possibly sustain life, even it might not be a great place to live, the scientists said.
The scientists determined that the planet, which they have called Gliese 581g, has a mass three to four times that of Earth and an orbital period of just under 37 days.
Its mass indicates that it is probably a rocky planet and has enough gravity to hold on to an atmosphere, according to Steven Vogt, professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and one of the leaders of the team that discovered the planet.
Awe-some …But, would it have broadband?
Unlike Earth, this planet called Gliese 581g, is “tidally locked” to its star. That means one side of the planet always faces the sun, and the other faces darkness. Temperatures on the two sides would be dramatically different, with the livable area in the “terminator” between day and night.
“Our findings offer a very compelling case for a potentially habitable planet,” said Steven Vogt (professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the University of California) “The fact that we were able to detect this planet so quickly and so nearby tells us that planets like this must be really common.”
That’s amazing and all but what we all really want are JetPacks NASA!

…nor has the neighbourhood by the looks…
Probably the coolest thing you could possibly rub yourself down with – Harrison Ford:
This soap is being capped at a production rate of 75 weekly. There will never be two pieces exactly alike. Ever. Like little Carbonite snowflakes 🙂
Each soap is hand poured and then detailed with not two, but THREE pure, skin safe matte and metallic pigment depths. These are made one at a time with A LOT of ♥
100% Fragrance-free and ultra gentle on skin (apparently)
To be honest, as cool as this is; it’s basically soap shaped as a guy ready for boobage groping, and is better suited for a female geek right? (I never got it for me anyway) And I would have just used this on my coin purse anyhow.
Plus I think there was awful, awful glitter in it – still neat though (click image to buy)
How awesome a title is that!

1,905-page Suicide Note Found Online
•September 28, 2010 • Leave a Comment1,905 pages defeats the purpose of a suicide note really… But then again, suicide defeats the purpose of a beating heart.
Sad story. One good thing to come of this is that his very story had a surge in comments of many educated (and uneducated) folks confronting mortality in open discussion.
Mitchell’s death wasn’t in vain. More people have already read Mitchell’s notes in its entirety, than will ever read the Health Care bill. Still; crazy man, crazy story.
