Buy Your Own Tron Lightcycle For $35,000
ElectricSteve writes "The lightcycle scene was probably the most memorable part of an absolutely jaw-dropping movie when Tron was released in 1982. One of the first films to use the kinds of computer-generated special effects that later become commonplace, it was a glimpse into a whole new world that left an indelible impression on most who saw it. Now, as Disney prepares to release Tron Legacy, a sequel some 28 years after the original, the lightcycles are back and looking meaner than ever. Built by the same guys who did the memorable Batpod replica, the new lightcycles feature massive dual hubless wheels, carbon fiber/fiberglass bodies, and all the lashings of neon that you'd expect. And there will be five running models built — all of which are now up for sale on eBay for a cool $35,000."
The first version I remember being panned as something of a plotless dud. It was an excuse to to show off then-new special effects, including limited CGI. Even that wasn't all that impressive.
Why anyone would remake the movie is beyond me. And why anyone would want one of those cycles boggles the imagination.

Hey, CmdrTaco, please eat my fecal matter for making an "entertainment" question. Trying hopelessly to compete with Digg? Nice try. News for nerds? Keep it on-topic.

By the way, here's something a little more entertaining than a $35000 toy for fat, rich star wars fudgepackers! Read on...
Anal Vapors Part 1
by Drunken Bastard i.e. Brian Shanor
Dr. Jurkov, the world renowned gynecologist sat in his office examining the patient file he agreed to examine because he owed a nonsexual favor (for once) to his brother. This case interested him as they sat discussing it one day, and he decided to take the case just because he thought his brother was full of shit and misinterpreted the results of the tests. That was 6 weeks ago. Today, he believed the outrageous test results which were in front of him as he waited for the patient to show up for her appointment.
A few moments later, he was interrupted from his daydreams of young boy scouts by a knock on the door. His receptionist poked her head in.
" Doctor, your next appointment is in the waiting room."
"Yeah, the nasty bitch with the constipation problem. She's here for her test results. Send her in." As the receptionist went to get the patient, he reached into his pants and pulled a worm out of a festering sore on his penis. "Here comes your mother, you little bastard," he said and ate it with a flourish. He turned around as the nasty woman was shown in. "Good afternoon," he said and held out his hand to shake hers, but thought better of it when he saw her slick pus coated fingers. "Have you been scratching your herpes sores again? I thought we discussed that earlier."
"I'm sorry, doctor, but it felt so good. Uh, do you have my test results?" she asked as she started to lick her fingers. The doctor fought back the urge to help lick her fingers and her crotch, remembering that he actually gave her the disease during a previous appointment.
"Yes... And they are very interesting. Tell me, do you engage in anal intercourse?"
"Yes, especially with this itch."
"Hmmm. I see. Are you, by any chance, bisexual?"
"Yes I like to carpet munch."
"Were you engaging in cunnilingus and ingested menses?"
"Cunni.....what?"
"Carpet munching."
"Yes, and I pulled out a couple of bloody tampons before I started, but I ended up getting a mouthful of tomato paste."
"And you swallowed it?"
"Yes."
"And you took it in the rear and ate bloody fish within 48 hours of each other?"
"Yes. Does this have anything to do with this killer constipation?"
"Oh I think it explains your condition quite nicely. You see, you are pregnant. More precisely, you have a rectal pregnancy. You were impregnated up the anus. I've seen this in porno movies and medical journals before. That is why I had to ask you those questions. This will be the first bowel movement birth I have ever seen. You are going to have a bunghole baby."
"When?"
"Well, you're about 2 months along now. At 8 months, we can give you a laxative to induce labor. The constipation will get worse, but it will feel good to take a birth shit."
"Alright, doctor, I guess I'll see you in 2 weeks."
Six months passed. During this time, the woman came in regularly for examinations. The doctor stopped using his penis and started fisting her on his desk. When he examined her anus, he would trim back her hemorrhoidal tissue and take it home to cook and serve as ravioli. Gradually, his penile worm problem cleared up, but the festering sore remained, so he found a woman who would give him head and suck out all the rancid pus.
When the time to give birth approached, he met the woman as she was wheeled into the hospital. "Ah. So good to see you. How are you feeling?" he asked as he looked over her shit-bloated body.
"It hurts!!! Oh God, IT HUUURRRRTTSSSS!!!!!"
"There. There....There. There.... Nurse! Wheel her into the delivery room."
She was taken to a room, stripped, and bent
