Here at SciFi Squad, they talk about how the Discovery channel looked into the possibility to help the city protect itself from violent storms and heat.

So what’s next? Will they follow in Marvel Entertainment’s footsteps and get bought out by Dreamworks?

According to an AdAge article, Wal-Mart has concocted a Thin Mint and Tagalong rip-off cookie. Those once loveable cookies are no longer sacred and exclusive to the Girl Scouts of America.
“Just when you think your opinion about Walmart might be changing … just when you think that maybe, just maybe, Walmart was learning to be a better citizen … Walmart turns around and does something really despicable,” Ms. Harquail writes. “It’s not discriminating against women, strong-arming suppliers, polluting neighborhoods or racing to the bottom of the China Price. No, this time, it’s closer to home, and in my case, really close to home. This time … Walmart is knocking off the Girl Scouts.”
Mrs. Harquail was the “cookies mom” for her own daughter’s scout troop. She easily recognized the distinct flavor of those knock-off brand cookies immediately.
“The exclusivity of Girl Scout cookies is what makes the cookies really sell,” Ms. Harquail writes. “But now, Walmart is shoving itself in front of these little girls, and knocking on your door to sell you their almost-as-good fake Thin Mints and fake Tagalongs, whenever you want them.”
Does Wal-Mart have no soul? Knocking down the little girls is what they are doing. But nothing says Wal-Mart can’t do this, but is this ethical? I myself don’t really eat the cookies to begin with, but thinking about those sad little girls who can’t sell those cookies because Wal-Mart has them for cheaper and anytime you want is saddening. Do you think Wal-Mart is immoral?
BATTLESHOTS! Has come, well not really, but its in Brazil. Thanks to Attack of the Show, they have found a design student, Mauricio (Tony) Harion, in Brazil that created this wonderful masterpiece called Enigma. It is a creation that could be great for a bar or for your own home entertainment. The original post that explains that it is played just like the usual Battleship game with one addition. If you miss the target you drink a sip of water, and if you hit an enemy boat you opponent empties the corresponding shot glass. I doubt that it will come to America for awhile, but I can bet it would be easy to create with a few pieces of cardboard, duct tape, some sharpies and an hour or two to spare.
If you ever plan to get married, never show this video to your future fiance. This just puts almost every marriage proposal to shame. Well I’ll scratch Disney off the list of places of even thinking about asking someone to marry me.
