I was just thinking "I wonder what I need to do to setup an offshore bank account for all my crazy website money" when I found this article.
Finally, there are some guys who don’t need that Swiss bank account, but open it while on vacation because what better pick-up line is there than dropping “my Swiss bank account” into the conversation?

If possible, I think the Geeks demographic is going to go way up for that issue.
The sexy host of Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters takes FHM into the lab for a little experimentation. Aside from making a lab coat look like something from a Victoria Secrets show, Kari Byron reveals how to instantly cool our beer and electrify our pickle—what more can a guy ask for?

Go Bazooka Poochie!
For next month’s official product rollout at the All Candy Expo at McCormick Place, Bazooka Joe was given wilder hair, a backward hat, ripped jeans and a multi-ethnic posse. It’s all meant to give Joe some much needed "street cred" with today’s kids, who are increasingly ignoring their grandfathers’ gum, Topps says.

Gotta love slutty Mormons.
The PAPER ROSES singer felt compelled to give a statement to US tabloid National Enquirer after the publication uncovered outrageous content on her daughters JESSICA and RACHAEL’s blogs. On her site, 18-year-old Jessica, who was adopted by Osmond as an infant, claims she is a bi-sexual who craves sex "as many times as possible," while her 16-year-old sister describes herself as a "slut" and a "whore" in correspondence and opened up about her dreams of having sex with DAVID BOWIE.

I love car gadgets.
Rental cars these days also have buttons all over the steering wheel, which makes me very happy. This is because like all rational, mature adults, I want to be Speed Racer. All I need is a child and his chimp in the trunk and I’m ready to rock. It’s not precisely totally 100 percent the same, though, because Speed’s buttons transformed the car into a boat and launched a robot homing pigeon, while my buttons engage cruise control. In all honesty, I’m about 400 times more likely to use cruise control as I am to need a robot pigeon, but it would be nice to have both.

He-Man was great as a kid, but its unwatchable now.
The best part about rewatching He-Man, after the initial nostalgia-burst, was tracking the show’s hilarious accidental homo-eroticism—an aspect I missed completely as a first-grader. In the ever-growing lineup of "outed" classic superheroes, He-Man might be the easiest target of all. It’s almost too easy: Prince Adam, He-Man’s alter ego, is a ripped Nordic pageboy with blinding teeth and sharply waxed eyebrows who spends lazy afternoons pampering his timid pet cat; he wears lavender stretch pants, furry purple Ugg boots, and a sleeveless pink blouse that clings like saran wrap to his pecs. To become He-Man, Adam harnesses what he calls "fabulous secret powers": His clothes fall off, his voice drops a full octave, his skin turns from vanilla to nut brown, his giant sword starts gushing energy, and he adopts a name so absurdly masculine it’s redundant. Next, he typically runs around seizing space-wands with glowing knobs and fabulously straddling giant rockets. He hangs out with people called Fisto and Ram Man, and they all exchange wink-wink nudge-nudge dialogue: "I’d like to hear more about this hooded seed-man of yours!" "I feel the bony finger of Skeletor!" "Your assistance is required on Snake Mountain!"

I didn’t have a lot of hope for this movie, but the trailer looks fun.
I dropped my favorite imdb "Trivia for Ghost Rider" in the quote section below.
‘Nicholas Cage’ ’s hairpiece took three hours every day to apply.

Sadly enough I will probably end up reading it.
A Dark Horse spokesperson has confirmed to ICv2 that the new series chronicles events that happened to Buffy and her friends after the conclusion of their televised adventures and will function as a "Season 8" to the highly popular cult hit TV series that ran for seven seasons (see "Buffy Returns").

I just love how serious they take this stuff.
McDonald’s is conducting an 18-month test of the sandwich and a breakfast chicken biscuit in 650 restaurants in the Southeast, backing it with $20 million in equipment, plus undisclosed marketing expenses. It’s one of the biggest tests the Oak Brook, Ill.-based company has run on a franchisee-developed product since the Egg McMuffin in 1973.
