  1. That's not exactly right on How the Batsuit Works · · Score: 1

    Lots of batsuits over the years have had all sort of high-tech body-mod improvements. Since you mention the Azrael storyline, you have to be familiar with the Miller's Dark Knight variation, where he wears something very much along these lines to fight kick Superman's ass but then fakes out at the end. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Knight_Retur ns
    Batman has been wearing lots of different costumes, even since the '50's, including body armor on many occasions.
    http://forums.comicbookresources.com/archive/index .php/t-11464.html The Wikipedia entry on Batman confirms this.

  2. Re:World Government UFO cult meme on World's Biggest Hacker Held · · Score: 1

    If he was going to risk hacking secret DoD files, the least he could have done is locate the whereabouts of that wicked hoverboard from Back To The Future II . . . http://www.snopes.com/movies/films/hoverbrd.htm . . . though I heard its on loan to Joe Firmage. (But Prophet Yahweh has dibbs next!)

  3. World Government UFO cult meme on World's Biggest Hacker Held · · Score: 1

    I think this is what he was talking about. http://www.howtorockstar.contagiousmedia.org/

  4. I got an idea . . . we can make a movie! on 3.9 Million Citigroup Customers' Data Lost · · Score: 1

    "When multinational mega-corps losing vital personal databases is outlawed, only outlaw mutlinational mega-corps will lose personal databases." - Tom Hanks in Castaway II: War of the Gilligans, in the scene where Tom must instruct a nerf soccerball on the importance to democracy of multi-national mega-corporations having complete lack of accountability for the databases of their customer's most personal and sensitive informations. (Note: Hanks did not win the Oscar for this role due to Tom Cruise's knock-out portrayal of a (former GI, psychologically impotent heterosexual) everyman in Steven Spielburg's immensely successful follow-up to War Of The World, WOTW II: The Big Shill. But it was close!)

  5. Time Travel Convention Moved on Time Travelers' Convention · · Score: 1

    Spider Robinson, author of Callahan's Crosstime Saloon, was contacted today about the Time Traveler's conference, and is instead attending the re-scheduled conference in Key West, FL, on September 10th, 2001 due to preferential US "climate."

  6. Star Wars - Nine episodes on Star Wars Episode 3 PG-13? · · Score: 1

    Am I covering old ground here by remembering there are supposed to be NINE episodes of the Star Wars saga, the three original, the last three prequels, and then three predecessors to the orignial three?

  7. Erratum on Game Industry Bigger Than Hollywood · · Score: 1

    According to this the information in the report seems misrepresentative. The figures for video games included console (stand-alone) machines and for Hollywood didn't include DVD/video rentals.
