Heroes

If you’re not currently a “Heroes”:http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/ fan, then get to it. Since I never have time for regular TV watching, I schedule in large blocks of time where I view a season at once. Instead of waiting to download them all through “bit torrent”:http://www.bittorrent.com/ (Don’t know what bit torrent is? “Start reading”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_%28protocol%29.), you can click this “link”:http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/video/episodes.shtml to see every episode that “GE”:http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GE owned NBC have kindly made available for your viewing.

Power Rangers Finally Explained


Since I am continually spreading the rumor that “Hillary Swank”:http://hilaryswankfan.com/ in the “Reaping”:http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809233452/info was once the original “Pink Power Ranger”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Ranger, I was researching for more falsifiable information and stumbled on something much greater. It turns out every episode of the “_Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers_”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_rangers can be described by the following “everyplot”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everyplot:
1. Rangers are seen in everyday life with a dispute to resolve.
2. Rangers are attacked by an evil foe’s minions/footsoldiers.
3. Rangers fight minions/footsoldiers.
4. Rangers morph.
5. Rangers defeat the minions/footsoldiers.
6. Evil enemy strengthens the minion and makes minion grow to gigantic proportions, followed by Rangers summoning giant machines known as Zords and/or their combined form, the Megazord.
Optional: Rangers find that their current powers are insufficient to defeat minion and discover a new power, such as a Battlizer armor for the Red Ranger, or a sixth Ranger and/or a new Megazord.
7. Rangers fight and defeat that particular giant minion.
8. Rangers are shown back in everyday life, having learned a life lesson which solves the earlier dispute.
Too bad real life can’t be as comically predictable, except for the whole having to use Zords to fight minions grown to gigantic proportions.
Thanks to “this unfortunate site”:http://grey-albums.diaryland.com/ for the picture.

Roomba TV


Roomba, autonomous vacuum cleaner and primary reason to hate everything about American society. These little suckers are just plain odd, and so is this. An overenthusiastic Roomba owner has attached a spy cam to the front of his which can be found streaming live vacuum-packed action “here”:http://www.vacuumcleanerlive.com/. Obviously most of the time the stream shows nothing but wall as the Roomba recharges, so he has also put up these “older videos”:http://www.vacuumcleanerlive.com/video.htm/. Thank God for the free market.
