Carry-on liquids could return for air travel - via CBC.ca - As someone who flies frequently for work, let me just say that airport "security" is a fucking joke.  Fortunately for me I'm a thirty-something white guy so they tend to leave me alone.  Here's a riddle of sorts...
     Guy (unsuccessfully) tries to blow up plane by lighting shoe-bomb on fire.  Solution - No lighters allowed and every passenger has to take off their shoes for x-ray.
     Guy (also unsuccessfully) tries to blow up plane by bringing "liquid bomb" onto plane.  Solution - No liquid/gels/aerosols allowed.
     Guy (note: UNSUCCESSFULLY) tries to blow up plane with an underwear bomb.  Question - How long until the TSA wants to x-ray my boxer-briefs?  Answer - Some airports already are. 

'Star Wars' saga set for 3D release starting 2012 - via HollwoodReporter.com - No surprise here.  There's new technology available so that means it's time to yet again re-release the Star Wars movies.  Not only is George Lucas going to make a shit-ton of money from all the fanboys who buy the super-mega-deluxe remastered Blu-ray edition, but you'll also get to see Jar-Jar in all his 3D splendor when the movies are released in 3D starting in 2012.  The joke is on George Lucas though, because the world ends in 2012.  Sorry George.
