Star Wars Production Art

Keep Lucas away from these before they get “revised”.

A talented conceptual artist with a vivid imagination, Ralph McQuarrie served as one of the major creative forces behind all three Star Was Films. McQuarrie’s visionary paintings and concept drawings brought to life characters and locations that had previously existed only in the mind of George Lucas.

Huh

Anyone know what this is about?
(Thanks Jabberwocky)

UPDATE:
Thanks to reader Mikail for pointing out that there is also a blog for this site at http://ilovebees.blogspot.com/. Gauging from the comments, it seems that this site is just an advertisement for Halo 2. Funny that I just posted the other day about undercover marketing and then posted a site using it.

Dinner at Bill Gates’ House

I had seen this around the blogosphere but I finally got around to reading it. It is an interesting read about an intern that had dinner at Bill’s house.

Return of the Jedi’s New Ending

Waxy has the video and it doesn’t appear to be a joke. Could someone please get Lucas away from the editing room. Why does he feel this constant need to muck around with the holy trilogy. They were pretty damn successful in their original form. And why does Anakin get to be his young self again. Why doesn’t Obi-Wan revert to young Obi-Wan? Is anyone still reading this?

Subway Rider Arrested for Eating

From CNN.com:

WASHINGTON (AP) — A government scientist finishing a candy bar on her way into a subway station where eating is prohibited was arrested, handcuffed and detained for three hours by transit police.

Stephanie Willett said she was eating a PayDay bar on an escalator descending into a station July 16 when an officer warned her to finish it before entering the station. Both Willett and police agree that she nodded and put the last bit into her mouth before throwing the wrapper into a trash can.

Willett, a 45-year-old Environmental Protection Agency scientist, told radio station WTOP that the officer then followed her into the station, one of several in downtown Washington.

She is obviously a terrorist. Burn her!!!

Female or Shemale

By far the scariest quiz I have posted. I don’t even want to tell you my results but in case you are wondering I got a 7 out of 16. I didn’t think any of the men were women but thought that 9 women were men. Better to be safe than sorry.

Urban Asshole Identification Cards

Bwahaha.

Now you can confront those who wrong you, in a way that won’t result in your getting your ass beat up. Let the Urban Asshole cards do the talking for you, and put urban assholes in their place.

Each card is scored but not folded so you can present them as is or fold them up so that the recipient only sees “Congrats!” before they get “You’re An Asshole” and the hard truth on the other side.

Treasures of the World

Stories behind
the Mona Lisa, the Taj Mahal, the Hope Diamond and others.

It was the art theft of the century… On August 21st, 1911, someone stole the most famous painting in the world from the Louvre. According to author Seymour Reit, “Someone walked into the Salon Carré, lifted it off the wall and went out with it! The painting was stolen Monday morning, but the interesting thing about it was that it wasn’t ’til Tuesday at noon that they first realized it was gone.”
