"It's good to be the king".

This Twix ad was banned by the ASA today in the UK (this is the German version) because, they say, it may encourage wreckless driving [Link]. Although ... I always thought that the Twix ad with the bears and the two outdoorspersons, maybe you know the one, where one bear says to the other, "it doesn't matter if you choose left or right because they're both chewy crunchy and delicious" was quite disturbing. I find it far more triggering to suggest, eating a Twix, is not unlike ripping apart a human Twin and eating them alive, while their other, Twix.. sorry I meant Twin, looks on!

Twelve years ago! It doesn't seem like it. 

Someone just searched this out and hit a dead page on my site, so I have brought it back, to the same URL, as it's still very good. Here it is..again. A Star Wars parody of the song by Gotye "Somebody that I used to Know".

For some odd reason, George Lucas had the intention to never re-release the original print of Star Wars, as he felt that his following 1990's CGI'd version was the masterpiece that the world should remember him for.

"The Special Edition, that's the one I wanted out there. The other movie, it's on VHS, if anybody wants it," he told the Associated Prsss. "I'm not going to spend the — we're talking millions of dollars here — the money and the time to refurbish that, because to me, it doesn't really exist anymore. It's like this is the movie I wanted it to be, and I'm sorry you saw a half-completed film and fell in love with it. But I want it to be the way I want it to be. I'm the one who has to take responsibility for it. I'm the one who has to have everybody throw rocks at me all the time, so at least if they're going to throw rocks at me, they're going to throw rocks at me for something I love rather than something I think is not very good, or at least something I think is not finished."

Shaun Sloggie, 30, said he's "never seen anything like" the discovery, which appears to have the same shape as the eel-like creature that hundreds of people have reported seeing in the Scottish freshwater loch. 

Tailored with high-tech sound wave sonar to penetrate the aquatic vista, it revealed an extended object with apparent air cavities - a dead ringer for the mythical beast of lore.

Shaun, who operates with Cruise Loch Ness to bring tourists up close to the loch's beauty and beasts, has been keeping watch over these waters for nearly ten years.

On Friday, September 13, 2024 Polaris Dawn Mission Specialist Sarah Gillis, an accomplished musician and SpaceX engineer-turned-astronaut, performed "Rey's Theme" by composer John Williams on her custom-made violin while in orbit aboard the Dragon spacecraft, launching her campaign to raise support for music education back on Earth. Her music selection, fittingly, was a piece from the film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Gillis was joined in performance by youth musicians from around the world, all of them students in the international El Sistema network of organizations, specifically: the inaugural El Sistema program in Venezuela, The Boston String Academy in the United States, NEOJIBA in Brazil, Dream Orchestra in Sweden, Brass for Africa in Uganda, and BLUME Haiti.\
