Yeah, Id shit myself too if WWII ended up like this. Here is Code Guardian, 5 years worth of amazing computer animation from Cee Gee Productions. I would never have the skill or dedication to make a video like this.

Click here for a seriously weird type of soap

The soap, called Shower Shock, supplies the caffeine equivalent of two cups of coffee per wash, with the stimulant absorbed naturally through the skin, manufacturers say.

Honestly, what does ‘naturally’ absorbed through the skin even mean? The skin is specially designed to STOP things getting absorbed through it.

Though a caffeine dose in the morning without having to wait for the kettle to boil, awesome… I look forward to filling those extra 3 minutes in the morning with…. something.

So these guys obviously have too much time on their hands:

Pretty impressive update that covers some choice titles.

Ontario, Canada is set to ban the sale and use of Incandescent bulbs following Australia’s lead (it was Australia, right?).

The government estimates that replacing the 87 million incandescent bulbs in use across Ontario with more efficient bulbs would save six million megawatt hours every year — enough to power 600,000 homes.

This is really great stuff, and I’m glad to see more people are catching on. They just really need to make sure people understand how to properly dispose of fluorescent/CFL bulbs. They all contain mercury, and if the popularity of the bulbs skyrocketed we could have a problem with mercury on our hands once again. Regardless, the energy savings are exciting!

I’ve been using CFL bulbs exclusively in our house for the past two years and our energy bill has never gone over $40 a month, and that’s coming from a heavy PC user and gamer, so you know that eats up some power. Haven’t had a single one burn out yet either! The only disadvantage is that the brand of bulbs we buy takes about 1.5 seconds to turn on after you flick the switch, but does that really make a difference? 1.5 seconds for 75% less energy used is a pretty damn good tradeoff if you ask me.

People who post first kick ass. Seriously, just like this guy.

As you can see from this photograph, in china safety is the number one priority on the road.

Testla Motors is now taking orders for what is basically the ultimate electric guitar. The pitfalls of other electrics such as sluggish performance, ugly looks and limited range seem to have all been solved for this car. This puppy boast 0-60 in 4 seconds, 200 miles per charge and averages out to about 1 cent per gallon.

This car seems excellent. I’m wondering what kind of reliability we will see with these batteries though. How long will they hold a charge, and when they stop charging properly how much is a replacement going to be? I’m willing to bet an absolute shitload.

Also the question must be asked, for the price of this car, how many miles would you have to drive before it even saves you a dime. My bet is if you are looking to save money this car is definitely not the choice for you, at least not yet.

Regardless I’m very interested to see what owners of this car say when they become more readily available.

For those of you who don’t know Ali G is the same person who acts the character Borat. This stuff is pretty damn funny. Here’s a video of him interviewing a couple of environmentalists.

Duke Nukem Forever has basically turned into a huge e-joke as the symbol and champion of vaporware. After over 10 years some thrilling news has surfaced!

According to Voood Extreme Duke Nukem Forever is going to be featured in the July issues of PC gamer.

Remember those slick decoder rings you played with as a kid? How you sent indecipherable notes to your best friend about how gross that girl sitting next to you was? Well, at PC Gamer, we love secrets, and since we always have our well-trained, doctor-like hands on the pulse of the gaming industry, we’ll have some tasty inside info for you next month. Is Duke Nukem Forever finally being released? Hey, it could happen.

This is pretty big news as 3D realms said they would not be publicizing the game until it was 6 months-year away from release. As hard as it is for me to say, we might be playing Duke Nukem Forever Christmas 2007!

Update: A post on Shacknews from George has some rather disappointing information!

I have no idea what tasty info they could be talking about. Someone at PCG feel free to contact me - I’m curious

The more and more we talk about it, the more I’m pretty sure we’ll lead off with releasing our own videos of the game, then do press after that. We’ll see, but thats certainly the prevailing attitude internally.

Bleh.
