It’s a scientific fact that space helmets are cosmically rocking. Here’s a collage of them. Bask in the glory of that which keeps your body from dying within the (alluring) death that is deep space.

I remember in my senior year of high school when I was killing twelve-packs of regular Pepsi and going to Wendy’s every day, my breasts began growing. I was so confused, as my man-titties began to unfurl themselves and fill my t-shirts with he-mammaries. And I remember then, that I wished I could read a comic book about them, to explain why I was becoming a fat fuck.

In preparation for their upcoming tour, Primus spent June in rehearsals. In an altruistic move, the band has released a free 4-song EP recorded during these rehearsals. The tracklisting:

1) Pudding Time

2) American Life

3) Duchess and the Proverbial Mind Spread

4) Harold of the Rocks

It’s nice to hear Les, Larry, and Herb working through these tunes. They don’t contain quite the same rockin’ force of years past but they do have a saavy, laid-back wisdom about them. Also, it’s nice to know that the power-trio isn’t shying away from material written during Tim Alexander’s absence.

In a time where it’s so easy for “artists” to make a buck at every opportunity, it’s nice to know that some people are still about the music.

The first half an hour of Taken was some of the worst shit I’ve ever watched. Sort of in a good way. However. A big however. What followed it was some of the most ridiculous, over-the-top, awesome, non-sensical shit I’ve ever seen. Loved it. Are you with me? Yeah! Then how would you like Taken In Space! Well, it’s coming. Sort of.

io9:

Luc Besson, writer/producer of Taken, is putting Maggie Grace back in danger – but this time she’s in a SPACE PRISON! It’s called Lockout. We’re in, as long as Lockout has as many throat punches as Taken did.

Deadline is reporting that Maggie Grace has signed on to play the role of our future president’s daughter. But wait, there’s a twist, featuring Guy Pearce:

Guy Pearce is attached to play a man wrongly convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage against the U.S. He’s offered his freedom if he can rescue the president’s daughter from an outer space prison taken over by violent inmates.

How fucking amazing is that premise? I’m sold man. Sold. Here’s hoping that Maggie Grace plays a character that actually warrants saving this time around. I mean, jesus christ! In Taken she was just some petulant little bitch, who betrayed her obviously awesome Dad and ran headlong into danger. He should have rescued her ass and then grounded her for fucking life.

Behold! Discovery Channel’s headquarters, commemorating Shark Week.

Like many people, my girlfriend is retarded for shark week. Me? I sort of dig it. But unlike her, I can’t really watch hours of people getting eaten by the world’s dopest predator. She’ll sit there, completely enthralled. Being squeamish, I can only handle the phrase “She had lost almost all her blood!”, or “His leg was dangling like a fucked up piece of chicken from strained and broken sinew” so many times before I’m ready to throw up the deuces and peace out.

“Isn’t it cool!” my girlfriend will exclaim, as we watch people mauled, mangled, and left for dead. And I make a mental note to not cross her, for this is her definition of entertainment.

Over at io9, they passed along some work by John Ptak over at Ptak Science Books. Our boy Ptak did a gorgeous round-up of retro-future proposed airports. Like everything else retro-future, they’re gorgeous, impractical, and sadly have never come to pass. But that’s okay! Despite the fact that these cities with sheen never came to pass, and the airport could be used in lieu of waterboarding, we can still live vicariously through these pictures. Hit the jump for the other sadly non-existent airports.

So, this shit is gold.

Sogen Kato was believed to be the oldest man in Tokyo. Officials heading out to congratulate him on his 111th birthday, however, met not an ancient gent but a corpse, mummified in his own bed for perhaps 30 years.

You can’t make this shit up. Oh world, you are so fantastical. You have to imagine the bummer it is to waste a perfectly good cake, you know? I don’t know about the economy over in Japan, but I mean, eggs ain’t cheap, yo.
