Indecision 2008 Promo, Exxon, Nick Fur, and Lego Death Star

Indecision 2008: The News Better Run - The Daily Shows over the top, hilarious promo for the upcoming election promo. I have a feeling the other networks are going "why don't we have an election building instead of feeling ashamed for their own promos that this video is making fun of.


Exxon Sets New Profit Record - The oil company racked up another profit record for an American company with $11.7 billion. Oddly that was considered a "disappointment" by Wall Street. I guess they where expected to make a few billion more. All kinds of problems with this number at the very least why are we still giving these companies tax incentives, kickbacks and the like?

Lego Death Star Time Lapse Construction - Click the link to see a team build the large diorama.

Samuel Jackson Game for More Nick Fury - In an interview with MTV, Samuel Jackson said he is "looking forward to make that character a bit more integral, in terms of the other stories that are happening." For those that don't know, the movie version of Nick Fury started in the Ultimates comics where artist Bryan Hitch admitted to purposely making the character look like Samuel Jackson as he was a big fan (same here). So very cool news to me.

Stash Stuff in a Soda Bottle - Click the for a video that shows how you can have a what looks like a full soda bottle but is really mostly hollow so can hide stuff in plain site. The idea is useful to other areas and condiments.
