Indiana Jones 4: The Scripts that Weren’t

The Deadbolt takes a look at previously-unused Indiana Jones scripts that may or may not contain spoilers for the new movie, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. We just don’t know yet. Read about Indiana Jones and the Monkey King, Indiana Jones and the Saucer Men from Mars, and a script that was never titled. http://www.thedeadbolt.com/news/104036/indy4scripts_feature.php

Swimming at the edge of Victoria Falls


Victoria Falls is on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is 360 feet tall. At the top is a natural rock pool, called Devil’s Pool, where the water is relatively calm. From September to December, when the water level is low, you can swim in Devil’s Pool. The pictures are bound to make you just a little nervous. Or a lot. Link (with video) -via Dark Roasted Blend

Pig Born with Valentine Hearts

We already have the Easter bunny and the Thanksgiving turkey, why not a Valentine pig? Valentine the Gloucester Old Spot piglet was born ten days ago at Byford's Farm in Taynton, Gloucestershire. Farmer Eric Freeman said:
"I've bred thousands of Old Spot piglets over the years but this is the first ever to have such a clear heart-shaped mark.

"It couldn't be more appropriate with Valentine's Day just around the corner."

The Sun Gun

During World War II, Nazi scientists worked at a secret lab in Hillersleben to develop weapons of mass destruction. One of these proposed weapons was the Sun Gun, a space station that would focus the sun’s rays on the enemies of the Third Reich! Read the story at Damn Interesting. Link

Dignity Village in Portland, Oregon was founded by 8 homeless people. In 2001, city officials granted them rights to live on a selected plot without interference. Now with a population of about 60, the community has a village council, 24-hour security, and a website. deputydog calls it “the most organized shantytown on earth.” http://deputy-dog.com/2008/02/08/the-most-organised-shanty-town-on-earth/

Inversed Earth Map

Mark Twain on Film


(YouTube link)

Silent film footage taken in 1909 by Thomas Edison at Stormfield (CT) at Mark Twain's estate. Twain is shown walkng around his home and playing cards with his daughters Clara and Jean. The flickering is due to film deterioration, but this is the only known footage of the great author.

Spin the Black Circle


Gravity does the work in this game, all you have to do is rotate the circle, allowing the ball to fall through the maze. It seems simple, but it’s not easy! Link -via b3ta

Seating the Orchestra

This high school concert started off the show with a Three Stooges sketch, but not on purpose. Good to see the student was OK afterward. -via Gorilla Mask

$6 Million Home Theater


Jeremy Kipnis has the ultimate home theater.
His Stewart Snowmatte laboratory-grade screen is the biggest I've ever seen in a home, and in the back of the theater, there's a Sony ultra-high-resolution (4,096-by-2,160) SRX-S110 digital projector. I'm looking everywhere, jotting down questions, and Kipnis sounds almost giddy talking about his theater's capabilities. He refers to his baby, the Kipnis Studio Standard (KSS), as "The Greatest Show on Earth." And from the looks of it, he may be right.

The equipment specs are impressive, and the photographs even more so. Link -via Unique Daily and Oh Gizmo!

Cover the Red Spot

The object of the game is to cover the red spot completely with five of the gray spots. Very difficult. I’ve seen this game in way back in my childhood (not online, of course), but I still don’t know the trick to it. Link -via Dump Trumpet
