Rejected Transformers

Rejected Transformers was the theme for the second round of our intersite Battle Royale Tournament, and now it's open to everyone.
Everyone remembers Transformers, right? Transformers were cool vehicles that unfolded and then reassembled into even cooler robots. Both the toys and the cartoons should be pretty familiar to anyone who was a kid in the eighties. Transformers were the coolest. But how did they keep all the Transformers so cool? By scrapping the really lame ones that no kid wanted to play with, of course!

Don’t dare smile on your passport photo

Don't smile -- you're Canadian.
The days of grinning from ear to ear for your passport photo are over. The Canadian Passport Office has issued new guidelines to photographers across the country saying smiling is out. Neutral, Politburo-style expressions are in.

How do you say “Cthulhu”?

Very carefully.

King of the Paranormal

Broadcast on CNN, the July 1, 2003 installment of "Larry King Live" was a sight to behold. The program, in King's words, explored "the incredible events of 56 years ago at Roswell, New Mexico." What most likely crashed at Roswell in 1947 was a government spy balloon, but the panel of guests assembled on King's show preferred a more lurid version of events. Jesse Marcel, Jr., son of a Roswell intelligence officer, claimed that just after the crash, his father showed him bits of debris that "came from another civilization." Glenn Dennis, who worked at a Roswell funeral home at the time, said a military officer called him to ask about the availability of small caskets (i.e., for dead aliens). Later Denis, obviously a UFO enthusiast, observed out of nowhere that the pyramids in Egypt had recently been "[shut down] for three or four days and no tourists going out there on account of the sightings."
