Although luckyman is lucky, the people he "rescues" aren't.

MJ’s Doctor Responsible?

Michael Jackson’s death on June 25, 2009 unleashed a global shockwave of solemn remorse, which contributed to the suicides of twelve hardcore MJ fans, and the spike in MJ records which likely pulled him out of his multi-million dollar debt.

Investigators automatically plummeted into the mysterious realm of Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch, in order to search for the culprit behind MJ’s death. They found countless vials of propofil, a general anaesthetic. Although propofil is generally used in a hospital setting, it is not covered as a controlled substance, and is therefore, not illegal.

Next, investigators plummeted into the mysterious story behind the existence of the propofil in Michael Jackson’s Ranch. And they unveiled Conrad Murray M.D. as a gateway for the drug to present itself within the confines of Neverland.

Now it seems that Conrad is in line for a potential manslaughter investigation.

Jeff Talks:
Let me put this into perspective: if someone shoots themselves with a gun they bought, does that mean the gun-shop owner is responsible? He did after all provide him the means to kill himself didn’t he?

Bottom line is, this isn’t fair to Dr. Conrad Murray. When you sell someone a gun, yes, they might shoot themselves; when you give someone drugs, yes, they might overdose. It’s not malpractice, and it certainly is not manslaughter: Conrad Murray M.D. was just doing his job.

Comic-1: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz



This is the first post of many we plan to release that will entail a comic strip. We plan to run a second line of comics simultaneous to this one; it will have its own story line.

Magicians Should be Hated, but We Love Them.

For many years people have been amazed and in awe at the inspiring and illusive magic tricks magicians perform before us. I'm not talking Harry Potter's style, where the magician (or in this case wizard) waves a wand and zaps someone he loathes; but rather, a live-action magician who fools, tricks, and even mocks his audience through fantastic illusion, hypnosis, or even redefining the durability of a human being. Yet, we still let them entertain us. Humans are inquisitive creatures who constantly thirst for knowledge, and long to remove the curtain from their eyes which blinds them from the truth. What order of man steps beyond their post, to maintain the dark curtain of ignorance over his own race; simply to define himself superior? Magicians. "A magician never, reveals their secret," what a crock. Everyone wants to know how it's done out of curiosity - this is the inquisitive nature of human beings - but the magician simply smiles and performs another illusion to keep you interested, or maybe even to mock you. But at the same time I must give some magicians the thumbs up, because some tricks are truly magical. David Copperfield's Death of Saw illusion was absolutely bone chilling. Don't believe me? Then just watch it:




The fact it appeared something went wrong as he was unable to escape being sliced in half, and then it turned out to simply be his routine, is the absolute awe-inspiring magic all magicians have the obligation to perform.

However, there are magicians who perform tricks, that waste our time and even money as we watch pure and utter nonsense. Take street magician David Blaine for instance. Mediocre card tricks and attempted illusions of floating by camera trickery. It doesn't end there, he also claims to be an endurance artist with his "feats of wonder," which are simply pathetic attempts for attention a 5 year old can do by throwing a tantrum. His "tricks" usually consist of being in one place, for a supposed long time... amazing isn't it? For example, being buried in a box 6 feet by 2 feet for one week. Well the normal man could say he could do this, so Mr.Blaine takes it one step farther. He decides not to eat at all, for the 7 days, furthermore he only consumes 2-3 tablespoons of water each day. Now, I'm no doctor, but I'm aware the average body burns 60 calories an hour. Sixty calories burnt for 168 hours of no intake is 10 080 calories. Now, burning 10 080 calories without any calorie intake essentially turns the body into a stick. Not only no food, but 2-3 tablespoons a day? Can you say dehydration? The normal human body, in proper conditions (e.g. room temperature), loses 2.5L of water daily (through sweat, urine, and exhaling water vapour). Assuming Blaine loses 2.5L a day (also assuming it's linear), means he lost approximately 38.5lbs of water. Now for the amazing part, after his trick he comes out, the exact same, no muscle degeneration or weight loss. That was one of his more unbelievable stunts, but the one that takes the cake for total lame style time wasters: David Blaine hanging upside down while people watch you, taking breaks for stretching, vitals, food, and urination, of course. All of his tricks seem like utter nonsense; it would be more entertaining if someone sawed him in half, and didn't put him back together.

Immortal Jellyfish


At first glance this is bizarre; at second glance it’s just as bizarre. The Turritopsis nutricula jelly fish essentially begins its life anew once it has sexually reproduced.

Weird? You betcha!

It reminds me of the movie Cranked - the china town scene. I won’t breath too much in to it, but essentially the main character needed to have sex to keep his heart pumping blood. This fish seems to do the exact same thing, only sex is like a restart button. It begins from childhood once again, every time it has intercourse.

Scientists say the fish has the potential to live forever, and they are currently searching for ways to potentially implement the immortality gene into humanity. Which would make the human race that much more fun.

NEWS: Warcraft Movie Announced:

Greetings, fellow highly evolved chordates,

For those of you who enjoy reading, the link/article can be found here. Or on wikipedia.

For those of you who tl;dr'd it, here's a summary:
  • Way back in 2006 Legendary Pictures bought some rights to film Warcraft from Blizzard Inc.
  • It was announced, recently, that Sam Raimi will be directing the upcoming film. (The same director who brought you the Evil Dead andSpider-Man trilogies [although there are rumours of a sequel for Evil Dead])
  • Charles Roven will be the producer. He is the producer who brought The Dark Knight to tremendous success.
  • The film is under a co-production and co-financing agreement between Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros.
  • Information such as cost, and release date, will be released as production continues. So no information yet.

Jeff Talks:

Being somewhat familiar with Warcraft Lore I must say this movie promises to be awesome. It comes down to the combined skills of Sam Raimi and Charles Roven (both of whom have released spectacular television epics), juxtaposed to the prodigious storyline of Warcraft. So this movie shouldn't fall straight on it's Gluteus Maximus, unless they do something like introduce monthly subscription fees.

But who knows?
