Man regrows skull, still has soft spot

Fifty years ago, Gordon Moore lost part of his skull in a car accident, and as a result, had to have a metal plate inserted around his skull. He then managed to dent the plate in another car crash three years later. This week, his doctors were rather surprised when they removed his metal plate to find his skull completely intact.

Note: there is no word on if he happens to have any claws made of bone located around his wrists.

The audacity of Pope

Is it just us, or does the Pope cover some dated issues?

What did he talk about in the Middle East today? The Holocaust and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Other times? Birth control, abortion and masturbation. Oh, and don’t get us started on the old man’s stories about Jesus. (How many times can you hear about the same three miracles, anyway?)

Weren’t these topics already settled in 1970s and 1980s ABC After-School Specials, and more grippingly than an old German guy speaking Latin?

We want some new insights, Your Holiness. What do you think about Twitter? Or universal health care? How bad did you think Wolverine was? Get some new material, old man.

MasterChugs Theater: ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’

So, I’ve got good news and bad news.

The good news is that the latest Hugh Jackman vehicle, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, is light-years better than the last X-men movie, X-Men: The Last Stand.

The bad news? That’s akin to saying the flu is better than lung cancer.

Delve inside to find out what the jury wants to say about the movie. Continue reading MasterChugs Theater: ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’

Ending atrocities: a good idea … in theory

Speaking today at the U.S. Capitol to celebrate observe Holocaust Remembrance Day, President Barack Obama said that “it is the duty of the living all over the world to make certain there will be no more atrocities.”

That’s all well and good, but did you ever notice how the atrocity word gets thrown around? African genocide, skiing accidents, muumuus at the Oscar, Gossip Girl being renewed for yet another season: all are considered by many to be atrocities, some universally so.

So, what is the cut-off for acceptable attrocities? Will the ATF enforce poor drunken karaoke choices? Is it the duty of Americans to bum rush Britney Spears whenever she attempts a comeback? Who will keep Wolverine out of the theaters?

It’s a nice thought, but only so practical.
