This video is dedicated to those TMNT fans who are still reeling from the nausea caused by Michael Bay's announcement that the Mutant Ninjas will instead be cast as edgy aliens in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles motion picture reboot.

YouTube user TheHumanTim has arrived, and just in the nick of time, with his heavy metal version of the classic TV show theme song. I'm off to drown my sorrows in some pizza and sewer skateboarding. Kowabunga indeed...

This is the photo that proves just how cool Shark Diving magazine editor Eli Martinez really is. He's so cool, in fact, that sharks come from miles around just to give him a high fin five. Either that, or this particular shark likes to play with his food before he eats.

In the first episode of Machinima's new geek-tacular webseries Super Power Beat Down, the original TV Batmobile from the 60s TV show is set against the 1989 Tim Burton version in a drag race with some rather surprising results.

If you want to skip the chatter and get straight to the racing, jump ahead to around 7:45 and start your engines!

Here's a page of doodles which were drawn by Ronald Reagan as he sat beside Margaret Thatcher in 1981 at the G7 Summit in Ottawa.

From the look of these crude renderings it's a good thing that Ronnie had a day job, and movie star status to fall back on, because he certainly wasn't going to make a splash in the art world.

Still, I'd like to know who the cute little pipe smoking man on the bottom left is supposed to be, and is that center right drawing a self portrait?

This innovative new vehicle is called The Iguana-a sea and land vehicle that will not only make boating  a blast but also much more convenient. Here's more about this amphibious yacht:

The Iguana is a seaworthy boat even in rough seas, a fast boat (40 knots), a high quality good looking boat, a boat capable of traveling short distances on dry land across unstable land, at a low speed, but without the necessity to drive on roads, in the end, a boat easy to live with, both with family and friends.

The Iguana looks like a fun way to go from sea to land in a flash, just watch where you're going if you hit the beach during spring break, or you might make a bloody mess of some drunken co-eds.

It's safe to say that this is one of the most epic pieces of cosplay gear I've ever seen: a custom made Bone Hunter Primal Elder Predator helmet, complete with built-in tri-dot laser sight and a bad attitude.

This incredibly detailed helmet was made by Mike Loh, and if you can scrape up a mere $1050 this one-of-a-kind creation can be yours and yours alone, matching costume and alien dreadlocks not included.

Digital artist Vinicius Costa creates some spectacularly colorful art works with his computer, hallucinogenic snapshots of worlds which are full of vibrant life and impossible landscapes.

The digital worlds that Vinicius creates are meant to be whimsical fairytale wonderlands, not reproductions of reality, and the brilliant color palette he has chosen perfectly suits the surreal nature of these worlds. Take your eyes on a tour of Vinicius' virtual worlds at the link below, they're well worth the trip.

This is the first concept art released for Brian Henson's latest movie project "The Happytime Murders", a noir thriller with a partially puppet cast and an adult edge. Here's the blurb:

In a world where puppets co-exist with humans as second class citizens, puppet private eye and disgraced ex-cop, Phil Phillips, is hot on the trail of the serial killer who murdered his brother and is now targeting the cast members of the famous 80s television show, "The Happytime Gang." As the killings continue, Phil's former flame, Jenny, is next on the list. It's up to Phil and his ex-partner, Detective Edwards, to find the culprit, but as bad blood and old resentments resurface the clues start pointing to the only viable suspect, Phil himself. Now he's on the run with only his wits and hard headed determination, as he tries to solve, "The Happytime Murders."

As you may know, Brian and Cheryl Henson have been carrying on in their father's footsteps, creating projects full of puppet magic that have become a bit more adult in terms of subject matter over the years.

"The Happytime Murders" project has been seen as impossible to produce by some critics because of it's adult subject matter, but I think condemning the project because "puppets are for kids" is simply restricting an art form which has proven it can appeal to adults as well as children. The film is currently in the pre-production stage, so no word yet on when it will be released.

What's the easiest way to score a free pizza in Hyannis, Massachusetts? Why, by getting a vasectomy, of course!

The old "free pizza can sell anything" routine has finally hit rock bottom, thanks to the Urology Associates of Cape Cod, who are offering up a snip and a slice which are ready whenever you've given up all hope of ever having kids or dieting.

To add further insult to injury, they suggest that the topping of choice should be meatballs. Low blow doc, low blow.
