Film: Newswire: Hollywood's movie star magician club Magic Castle will star in its own movie

Film: Newswire: Hollywood's movie star magician club Magic Castle will star in its own movie:







Long a haunt for famous people who dabble in illusions not involving their personal lives, Hollywood's Magic Castle is going to star in its own movie, one that will finally allow those who aren't lucky enough to be invited into the private, century-old club to see what all the fuss is about. Over the years the Magic Castle has played host to numerous professional magicians as well as celebrities like Neil Patrick Harris (who currently serves as its president), Cary Grant, Steve Martin, and Johnny Carson. It's not immediately clear whether the film will take some sort of biopic tack and delve into the Castle's historical importance to the celebrity magician society, but that seems sort of unlikely considering it's being produced by Ted Field, whose own experience with the supernatural includes the remakes of The Amityville Horror and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the ...

Predator Drones Coming To Life

Predator Drones Coming To Life:
"Air Force mechanics have reported mysterious incidents in which the airborne robots went haywire. In March 2011, a Predator parked at the camp started its engine without any human direction, even though the ignition had been turned off and the fuel lines closed. Technicians concluded that a software bug had infected the 'brains' of the drone, but never pinpointed the problem. 'After that whole starting-itself incident, we were fairly wary of the aircraft and watched it pretty closely,' an unnamed Air Force squadron commander testified to an investigative board, according to a transcript. 'Right now, I still think the software is not good.'" [Via]

Thank You, Monk

Thank You, Monk:


The incomparable Thelonious Sphere Monk would have been 95 years old today, and that, at least to me, is something worth celebrating. The man was a genius.

The Nightmare Before Christmas - Tim Burton’s Original...

The Nightmare Before Christmas - Tim Burton’s Original...:

The Nightmare Before Christmas - Tim Burton’s Original Poem, read by Sir Christopher Lee (by fill10000)

Unexplained sounds

Unexplained sounds:
Bloop Mystery Noise

Every once in awhile, something somewhere will make a sound and no one really knows where it came from. Among the unexplained sounds listed on Wikipedia are mistpouffers, The Bloop, The Hum, and Julia.

The NOAA's Dr. Christopher Fox does not believe its origin is man-made, such as a submarine or bomb, or familiar geological events such as volcanoes or earthquakes. While the audio profile of the Bloop does resemble that of a living creature, the source is a mystery both because it is different from known sounds and because it was several times louder than the loudest recorded animal, the blue whale.

A dog means that you pick up poop

There are these signs to stoop and scoop
