Wanna see something scary?
The ice cap over the North Pole is almost gone as of this year, seasonal ice is all that remains.
The Earth is balding – maybe we can do a ‘comb-over.’
The upshot: my apartment might become beachfront property in the next decade!
With the new Indiana Jones movie less than a month away (24 days left), it was only a matter of time until the marketing tie-ins cropped up.
M&Ms offers Indiana Jones M&M candies – like regular M&Ms, but with skulls, pyramids, compass roses, Indy hats, and Precolombian masks printed on them.
LEGO managed to produce cool Indiana Jones sets months ago (though I still can’t find them in stores).

Here are two photos from the Digg front page that were too irresistible to pass up. Say what you will about Microsoft, Apple, and the people who use them, but no one can argue that this is simply not smart business!

Blogadilla co-author Allison and I decided that we can make better “tiki bar” drinks than most Tiki Bar franchises. Here’s the first installment of what we’ve dubbed “The Boozadilla Project” – behold “Noah’s Ark”:
Noah’s Ark ingredients:
• 1 watermelon
• plastic animals
• 2 shots vodka
• 2 shots white rum
• 2 shots coconut rum
• 2 shots gin
Get it? “Noah’s Ark” – 2 of everything
• 2 shots fruity-flavored schnapps
• 2 shots lime juice
• 2 shots grenadine
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 1 cup grape soda or strawberry soda
• 1 tray of ice cubes
• 1 sharp knife
• 1 large spoon
• 2-4 straws
Step 1: Cut the top of the watermelon into the ‘ark’ shape above, remove the inside of the watermelon with the large spoon. Cut windows into the side (near the top) of the watermelon, place animals in the windows.
Step 2: Pour all of the ingredients into the hollowed-out watermelon. Garnish with tiny umbrellas.
Serves 2 to 4 people.
And when you’re done drinking, the watermelon also makes a great helmet!
What you will need:
• 1 can Dr. Pepper or a trashy Dr. Pepper clone.
• 4 pork chops (boneless or with bone)
• black pepper
• red pepper (leftover packet from pizza delivery is fine)
• 1 cigarette (not menthol)
• skillet
• cooking oil
• tongs or spatula or stick
• stove
• kitchen
Step 1: Put a little oil in the skillet, put the skillet on stovetop, turn stove on to medium setting. Place the 4 porkchops onto the skillet.
Step 2: Pour (or spit) about a mouthful of Dr. Pepper onto the porkchops when they begin sizzling. Dump Pizza Hut packet of red pepper onto the sizzling porkchops. Pour the same amount of black pepper onto the porkchops.
Step 3: Turn porkchops when necessary. You want the Dr. Pepper to reduce (boil down) to a thick sticky syrup, what we will call a demi-glace (borrowing a fancypants French term to sound like we know what we’re doing). As the Dr. Pepper becomes thicker, the sugar in it will caramelize and stick to the pork chops – this is your goal. This may take some time.
Step 4: Smoke the cigarette while you watch the meat cook. When the porkchops are cooked, cut off the fatty ends or fatty edges of the meat and leave them in the pan. Remove the porkchops, leave the fat in the pan.
Step 5: Pour the remainder of the Dr. Pepper into the pan with the fatty ends of the porkchops. Let them fry/boil until the remaining Dr. Pepper becomes thick. Remove the fatty chunks (and feed them to the dog), pour the Dr. Pepper sauce onto the pork chops.
Step 6: Eat in a trailer home.
Serving suggestion: On a bed of Cheetos, with lemonade or beer as a libation.
In terms of physical art, we’ve covered rail track art before, but never pixel art. Today Gothamist.com features cool pixel graffiti, seen on 9th Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues, here in NYC– check it out.
