Found this food product in a little Indian market in Los Angeles last spring. Um... "Glucose?" ... "Dextrose Monohydrate?" Dude, it's SUGAR! Plain old sugar! Wake up India! It's just freaking sugar!
The fine print is even better:

Ripped from today's headlines: Mary-Kate Olsen has big kiss -- with Ben Kingsley. Here's a fair use snippet: "Brace yourself: In her upcoming movie, Mary-Kate Olsen locks lips with Ben Kingsley. Yes, the one-time adorable tyke turned teenage titan, and Gandhi... Olsen is now 21. Kingsley is 63. Their film, "The Wackness," is slated for release next year."
A mere seven years ago, we, The Van Gogh-Goghs, published this article on our website:
Call My Age-nt! : "VGG Films broke the secrecy surrounding their summer offering, "Zombie Perv: A Love Story." The film features Mary-Kate Olsen, 14, as a cemetery keeper's daughter who falls head over heels for "Gramps," a reanimated corpse played (in a marvelous piece of casting) by the actual reanimated corpse of William Hickey, who was 69 when he died in 1997."
and now it has come absolutely stone cold true!! More or less. Sorta. *Cough* The gist of the prediction is true. Even if it wasn't really a prediction. Look, Mary-Kate Olsen is kissing some dude old enough to be her grandfather!!! We predicted it. Totally!!!
Today we have a rerun of sorts, back by semi-popular demand! Of all our MP3 Monday entries, the most popular by far is the 1978 kid's record Our Dinosaur Friends- for the Early Years. We featured the "Tyrannosaurus Rex" track then, but here' s the whole dang album! Well, side one.

A VHS tape box cover of an old 1940s Dick Tracy serial. The one that warns you not to watch it! Don't you wish all movie titles were this helpful?
The Simpsons Movie is out! It's good, go see it. One of the best things about the Simpsons is that they've managed to live down two awful novelty albums, 1991's The Simpsons Sing the Blues, and 1998's The Yellow Album. Stick with making TV episodes, people! From the CD single here's "Deep, Deep Trouble," only it's the Full Dance Mix, done by DJ Jazzy Jeff!

Burt Rutan, who's he? He's a space pioneer, doofus! No, not back in them Apollo days, RIGHT NOW! He won the 2004 X-Prize with his SpaceShipOne, the first privately built spaceship that actually went into space! He's having some hard times right now, with an unfortunate explosion during a rocket test that killed three employees. Let's hark back to happier days of this aviation and space pioneer, back to 1989, when he let Popular Science into his custom designed pyramid house! Check out the scans (about 1 MB each):
