Simon's cat!

Love this dudes shorts. New ones make my day! Also, totally understand this cats problem with sticky tape. Same thing happens to me.

Tractor Beams!

Some scientist dudes figured out how to make tractor beams work. Whoa.

Robocop!

Robocop is seriously one of my favorite cheesy action movies. For those of you that don't know, they're trying to erect a statue in Robocops honor in detriot, like they did with Rocky Balboa. Here's the original actor, Peter Weller's take on the situation:

New charity of choice!

So I see's this new charity for Africa, and I was at first like " Oh man another one?". Get me straight though, charity and helping other people is great, it's just that I think that the way most charities in Africa operate is kinda bad, as they depict all the starving orphans and stuff and never focus on good stuff, plus while they do feed people, they don't really help anything in the end cause they don't do much about the local economy and making it so the villagers can provide for themselves. Mama Hope though is basically all about getting these peoples feet on the ground. They don't just go in and feed people, they basically figure out exactly what's needed for the community and help them develop it themselves, which means that they will be able to provide for themselves and be independent. Also I like how they don't spam you with pictures of  sad childeren to try and get money. Instead they do stuff like this:
