Quick, look! Topherchris saying something serious and pertinent!
Seriously though, AMAZING.
The first Space Shuttle launch, STS-1, was on April 12, 1981. If you wanted to watch it happen, you had to find a television. Your entire frame of reference for the event was how the network chose to present it.
Today, the story is STS-135. NASA has their own Ustream channel showing the entire thing in HD, straight from the source.
Incredible times.
Bill Simmons says there is 24 male movie stars right now.
They are:
Smith and Leo; Depp and Cruise; Clooney, Damon and Pitt; Downey and Bale; Hanks and Denzel; Stiller and Sandler; Crowe and Bridges; Carell, Rogen, Ferrell and Galifianakis; Wahlberg and Affleck; Gyllenhall (it kills me to put him on here, but there’s just no way to avoid it); Justin Timberlake (who became a movie star simply by being so famous that he brainwashed us); and amazingly, Kevin James
Carell I’m not sure I agree with. The top of the list is obviously where it’s at. The ones that endure will always be my movie stars
Smith and Leo; Depp and Cruise; Clooney, Damon and Pitt;
Narrow it down again, you say? Well, alright:
Leo, Depp, Clooney, Pitt.
Unless Brad steps up his game, in 2 years Damon will be replacing Pitt on that list, not just becoming an additional entry.
Ohhh extended editions. How I love you.
Elijah Wood: Speaking of game-making, what was the name of the fake game that you all tried to get me into?
Dom Monaghan: Oh! Tig! Tag? Tig?
Elijah Wood: Tig!
Billy Boyd: In Tig, uh, it was when we were filming Weathertop, and myself and Dom… just started tigging each other, you know? Just, sort of, “Tig. Tig. Tig.” For no reason! And then Sean came over—
Sean Astin: Slightly different from Tag.
Billy Boyd: And he came over, and started doing it, as well! And then we’d say, “Tig-tig. Tig-tag,” Like, for no reason. And then Elijah came over and said, “What’re you guys doing?” And we said, “Oh, we’re playing a game called Tig.” And he says, “How do you play?” And we spent the next… two hours, making up rules!
Elijah Wood: And trying to teach me, and of course I was getting everything wrong!
Sean Astin: You couldn’t follow the game, and the three of us were forever frustrated that he wasn’t following these new rules that we were continuing to make up!
Dominic Monaghan: So, we would play— the three of us were constantly getting it right, and every time Elijah tried a new way of tigging someone, we’d say, “No, Elijah, you can’t tig on a tog! You can’t tag on a tig. You have to do an elephant impression if you’re going to tig Billy. If Billy’s gonna tig you back, you have to get on your knees and take your trousers down…”
Billy Boyd: “How many times, Elijah, you can’t double-tig a tag!”

For everyone who doesn’t understand: This is one of a thousand reasons why sport is fucking amazing.
Team Leopard Trek cross the line together in honor of teammate Wouter Weylandt, before bowing out of the remainder of the race.
Wouter Weylandt of Leopard Trek lost his life after a crash in today’s stage of the Giro. A sad piece of news, condolences to his family, friends and teammates.
“We want to remember him with arms held high, crazy with joy after a victory, like the one at Middelburg last year. This is the image of him that all of us will carry in our hearts forever.”
- Part of the statement by Quickstep, his former (and first) professional outfit.
I need some of these on my wall, please.

Modern Art Was CIA 'Weapon'
For decades in art circles it was either a rumour or a joke, but now it is confirmed as a fact. The Central Intelligence Agency used American modern art - including the works of such artists as Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell, Willem de Kooning and Mark Rothko - as a weapon in the Cold War.
