Seth Green’s made it hip to be a nerd again. Who knew the dude who was the werewolf from Buffy the Vampire Slayer was, in fact, a comic genius? We’ve been enjoying RC for the last two years, and it’s about damn time we spread the love. So for all you stoners, drunks and lollygaggers that haven’t seen the show—named, apparently, for a meal on a Chinese food menu—we present to you the 10 best sketches Robot Chicken has ever offered up.
I'm a little upset because World's Most One-Sided Fistfights didn't make the list.

0 comments50 greatest WWF rivalries
When I was a young buck, I didn’t really need to watch anything on TV but WWF wrestling. I, much like many of kids my age, got ALL of the Pay Per Views and even went to a couple of house shows. I was obsessed.
Let me put to rest a rumor that I once heard: wrestling is real. These guys hated each other and did all they could to win matches. I compiled a list of the 50 Greatest WWF Wrestling Rivalries. The list is made up of mostly late-80s/early-mid-90s feuds. I consider this list to be my greatest masterpiece, and I’m sorry if I left off any of your personal favorites. I received some assistance from fellow Rivalfish Sweatshoppers Ryan O’Donnell and Danny Raspatello (who is a 100 times cooler than his brother, Tello Real).

0 commentsKobayashi sets another record
Takeru Kobayashi chomped through a record 58 brats at the Johnsonville World Bratwurst Eating Championship on Saturday, easily winning another tasty title and slicing through the record of 34 1/2 set last year by Sonya Thomas.
"They're good," Kobayashi said through a translator. "I want to take some home."
Kobayashi earned $8,000 for his effort. There was no extra charge for the 16,820 calories, 1,450 grams of fat and 19 days worth of the recommended amount of sodium he consumed in besting Joey Chestnut and Thomas in front of a crowd of about 3,500 people attending Sheboygan Jaycees Brat Days.

Check out the trailer. It seems pretty decent. I lot of sequals of japenese horror remakes are awful. This seems ok though. So far...
Kindergarten Cop hopes to beat 80 year old man
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will play a game of table tennis with an octogenarian pingpong champion who said he would only donate to the governor's re-election campaign if he agreed to a match.
The odds appear to be stacked against the governor.
Byng Forsberg is a champion pingpong player in the 75 and over category, having won nearly ever table tennis trophy available to the senior set.

Worst possible tree to hit
A teenage driver in the US crashed a four-wheel drive into a hollow tree and stirred up tens of thousands of angry honey bees, creating a swarm that sent her and nine others to the hospital.
"Those bees were mad," said Volunteer Fire Chief Kent Gilbert, who was stung at least 50 times while trying to pull the 16-year-old driver from the wreckage.
"I've never seen bees, especially honeybees, attack like that."

A small victory for the P2Pers
A group of US record labels agreed to drop a music piracy case in the US after the alleged file-sharer argued that it could not be proved that she downloaded any illegal music. The case may set a precedent that undermines scores of other music piracy cases.
Tammie Marson of Palm Desert, California refused to pay the initial $3,500 demanded by a group of record labels and opted to fight the case in court. Marson and her lawyer Seyamack Kouretchian of Coast Law Group argued that the fact that Marson's computer contained illegal music files downloaded over her internet connection was not proof that she had committed a crime.
The record companies – Virgin, Sony BMG, Arista, Universal and Warner Brothers – agreed to dismiss the case and pay their own legal costs.

Criminologists will work with probation officers in a new unit that will try to spot offenders already under criminal justice system supervision who are most likely to commit homicides, and head off future killings.
University of Pennsylvania experts will train a five-officer Homicide Prevention Unit that will review tens of thousands of cases looking for potential killers, and provide them with intensified supervision and treatment.
"If we can pinpoint these needles in the haystack and help them turn their lives around, we might well help to make Philadelphia a safer city," said Lawrence W. Sherman, director of the university's Jerry Lee Center of Criminology, which is providing half of the $1 million in funding for the unit. The rest of the money comes from the city and state.
