'Indiana Jones 4' Finally A Go

Steev writes: "Canoe.ca is reporting that Indiana Jones 4 (they have a title, but don't want to say it yet) is a go. It'll be Speilberg's next project. They say that they were just waiting for the right screenplay. Rejected ideas were Indiana Jones And The Sons Of Darkness and Indiana Jones And The Garden Of Life."

    In order to get this movie out to a broader audience, it will feature things like:

    • Hordes of Jar Jar binks instead of Nazis
    • Feature a boyband singing a tribute to Indiana.
    • A 15 minutes long airship chase (Hindenberg style), so there can be build a computer game over the scene. Ofcourse this chase has to have no relevance to the movie.

    Indiana Jones and Avacado Women in the Jungle of Death

    "Piranha Women of the Avocado Jungle of Death" is apparently a real movie, parodied in a song by singer-songwriter Christine Lavin, whose aunt was (again, apparently) in the film. Christine Lavin is hilarious.

    Search for the Missing Socks

    As it turns out, I know where socks go. According to a friend whose ex-husband used to repair washing machines, there is usually a gap between the basin and the top of the machine. Socks (and other light items) are occasionally sloshed over the top and into the internals of the washing machine.

    I know someone who has also written a song about this. He would not claim to be as funny as Christine Lavin.
