quote [ Beautiful but washed-up archaeologist Jessie McCloud receives an unexpected visit from her old professor, Sinclair Domingo. Why has the professor suddenly returned? What does he want? And who is chasing Jessie? ]
This was made as part of the 48 Hours film competition held a few weeks ago in Auckland, NZ. I was the script consultant on this film, which was so good that it made it into the finals. It's bloody funny and has two hot chicks in it, so go and watch it, ok?

quote [ Inhale.
Take in as much air as you can. This story should last about as long as you can hold your breath, and then just a little bit longer. So listen as fast as you can. ] A brilliant, funny and very graphic new story from Chuck Palahniuk (you know, the guy who wrote 'Fight Club'). Warning, it's not pretty and if you're a guy it may leave you feeling very tender.

quote [ Councillors voted 12-2 to back a Weta Workshops-designed tribute to former Hamiltonian and Rocky Horror Show creator Richard O'Brien for Victoria St. ]
This is happening in my hometown. Richard O'Brien used to live in Hamilton and saw lots of late night double feature picture shows in the Embassy Theatre. The theatre's since been pulled down, but the statue will be placed on its site. A couple of city councillors objected, fearing that the city would turn into Sodom and Gomorrah. Great news.

quote [ Then there's this notion that you need to be up high. That's a contradiction, because the people who buy these S.U.V.s know at the cortex level that if you are high there is more chance of a rollover. But at the reptilian level they think that if I am bigger and taller I'm safer. ]
A long, but very interesting article by Malcolm Gladwell that looks at how unsafe S.U.V.s are, but how the things that make them unsafe are the same features that make American drivers feel safe.

quote [ "I am making Janet Jackson breast cupcakes."
"OK." "How do I do this?" ] Janet Jackson's nipple + cupcakes + chocolate = memelicious!

quote [ Daisy and Violet Hilton were born in England on February 5, 1908. The sisters were pygopagus twins - conjoined at the hips and buttocks. They shared blood circulation and were fused at the pelvis but shared no major organs. ]
Before Paris and Nicky there were another pair of famous Hilton sisters.

quote [ EndangeredFaeces are little animals made from their own doo (from Auckland and Wellington zoo), which has been heat treated so it's safe and there's no smell. Your plants will love them. ]
Available in elephant, hippo, rhino and giraffe flavours. If only I had some pot plants, then I could fertilise them with little poo animals.

quote [ Pimp Juice is a healthy, non-carbonated energy drink possessing a tropical berry flavor. Pimp Juice’s artificial coloring gives it a smooth neon green glow, while its 10% apple juice content adds a natural sweetness to its taste. ]
Inspired by the Nelly song of the same name. I dunno, I'm not sure I'm quite ready to crack open a cold can o' Pimp Juice.

quote [ Each morning the Maori people of New Zealand, which is part of Australia, rise at dawn, cook some eggs, put on their grass skirts and go out to the fields to make 42 Below vodka. ]
A short, informative flash presentation about various aspects of New Zealand culture courtesy of 42 Below vodka. I would also like to note that 42 Below is very good vodka and I have a bottle in my freezer. Cheers.

quote [ Many writers feel that when their song is in risk of getting a bit tired, it can be given a fresh lease of life by shifting the whole song up a key. This is the truck driver's gear change. ]
A selection of the very best (worst?) songs that use the TDGC to devastating effect. mp3s of the offending portions will help you recognise this musical menace. Warning: Contains Bucks Fizz!
