These are from the same people who made the air/aqua-penguins I posted about previously. I may return to aquajellies at some point, but for now, I’d like to say that this video is a pretty good simulation of my brain today.
Proper blogging should return shortly, but expect some audioboos and randomness in the meantime.
Episode goes up tonight, as usual, of course.

US firm Raytheon has unveiled its anti-aircraft laser at the Farnborough Airshow in Hampshire.
The Laser Close-In Weapon System (CIWS) can either be used on its own or alongside a gunnery system.
In May, the laser was used to shoot down unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a series of tests.
Raytheon said the solid state fibre laser produces a 50 kilowatt beam and can be used against UAV, mortar, rockets and small surface ships. – More From BBC
Lasers aren’t just for threatening the junks of Super-Agents anymore.
How long until we invent flying mirrors?

Hello to my fellow EvAv readers, and a big thanks to whichever friendly mod actually posted a link to our little dog and pony show.
Dig into the archives and enjoy!
Some useful links:
I missed this bit of news when it first ran:
“We’ve come to the conclusion that there is a black market out there for human body parts for research or for whatever reason,” saidPulaski County coroner Garland Camper. “We just want to make sure these specimens here aren’t a part of that black market and underground trade.”
The heads were being transported to the Fort Worth office of Medtronic, a leading medical research and technology company based in Minnesota.
Medtronic spokesman Brian Henry said it is common to ship body parts for medical education and research, but he said it is rare for a shipment to be seized.
“We expect our suppliers to follow proper procedures,” he said.
Camper described the items as 40 to 60 human heads.
What can I add to that? All possible angles of comedy are already cliched – can’t make a joke about carry on, can’t make a “Heads On A Plane” joke, can’t go for a lost luggage gag.
I do wonder, however, about the possibility of a plane crash – I’d hate to be the rescue people on the ground, collecting up rogue noggins and freaking out about the lack of bodies to match them up with.

I’ve been wanting to write this relatively quick post since last Friday, so here goes:

If you’ve been near a television in the last few weeks, you’ve seen an ad for Inception. Despite the overplay of the commercials, I’m quite excited to see it – partially because it seems to have a great Movie Noise, which you can hear above.
(I poked around for a better version, I know I’ve heard it at the end of at least one of the spots, but there are a million ads to check, and my internet is still limping.)
As far as Movie Noises go, it’s pretty fantastic, probably better than the Silent Hill Siren:

– although not quite as good as the Jason-noise:

Still, for my money, there’s no single more terrifying or superior Movie Noise than the slamming from The Entity.

My internet connection has risen again – I am returned.
