Hey, if I wanted to visit a museum of quackery and medical fraud, I'd just make an appointment at any chiropractor's office.

What does this say? I have a gub? What's a gub?
It says gun g-u-n, that's an n.
No, that's not an N. That doesn't look like an N to me.

Of course it's a TV remote! Too easy. And although people say it's "ultrasonic", from what I remember it made four clearly audible tones when the buttons were pressed. We called it the "Dinger". Never worked too well, except in a very quiet room. Channel change was always a crapshoot, and volume change usually only worked going louder, not softer, and man, that thing would go LOUD! Then you had to get up to turn the sound down below ear-splitting.
But actually, no, it's a prototype of the Monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's ten feet tall. Hard to tell with no scale involved. The first button made the monkey evolve. The second made him kill a tapir. The third made him kill another monkey. The fourth made him throw a bone in the air. Personally, I'm glad they went with the black slab instead.

Around the turn of the century, a strange attraction was popular for an extremely short time: Mouse Circuses. These were created because of the flea shortage of 1908. Small circus acts were taught to mice. Mice arialists, high wire and slack wire walkers, diving mice, mice shot out of a tiny cannon, and most popular, the mouse strong man act. This is the barbell from that act, without the weights attached. Surprisingly, the demise of the mouse circus was not due to the arrival of cheap foreign fleas starting in 1910, but because of the "mouse doping" scandal of 1909, where it was discovered that many of the mice were using steroids. Every word is true. Except the ones that aren't.

Yep, fake. I suspect it's a lame attempt at a "viral", a stunt for Opie and Anthony's lame radio show, which conveniently appears very, very visibly on the guy's shirt. And you know what? It's going to be shown on Fox, and CNN, and MSNBC, and they'll feign surprise.

JPS was a whiny, self-absorbed, self-important bitch, who took the deep emotional angst of every thirteen year old child and spun it into a lifetime of misery. Kind of the French version of J.D. Salinger. Get over yourselves, guys. There's nothing sadder than someone who peaks in high school, and then just stays there into old age.

One imagines that because of their "me first" and "selfishness is the greatest of virtues" philosophy, they'd be rotten dates, and even worse as lovers. Then put two of them together, and watch the sparks fly! At least they'd have someone to go see the by all accounts unwatchable movie of "Atlas Shrugged". Be sure to go read Roger Ebert's excellent, hilarious review of this, pardon me, trainwreck.

Oh how I hope that this is true, but, until I see some irrefutable evidence, it's just another fuzzy video.

I don't know how this movie will compare, with the classic, but from what I heard during the filming, it is a very different beast. The first version of the plot that I heard of involves Detroit being "given" to the Chinese to make up for a city in China that the United States accidentally destroyed. When word of this leaked out, some called for the movie's funding to be pulled because they saw that as anti-American. Don't know if this is the version that made it to film, but if so, it might be a hard sell. At least it might make it straight to DVD, which happens an awful lot these days.

It's the skeleton of a Pac-Man puppet!

It's possible, as The Little Prince was out three years before Star Wars. Since they cut out the scene where Obi-Wan dons a sparkly vest and bowler hat and dances around on the sand, we'll never know for sure.
