Soviet Playgrounds
There’s something really messed up about these former Soviet playgrounds. I’ve seen a couple of these first hand so I know they are pretty common. More here.

The Most Annoying Toy Ever
My dad lives in the country next to some ranch that has all these roosters that never seem to shut up. So I can relate.

REVIEW: Iron Man
I just came back from seeing it. This has to be one of the best translations of a comic book character to the screen. They managed to merge 60s and 70s Iron man stories together to weave a solid origin tale with no fat. And Jon Faverau totally got the character abd gave the film a terrific look. Jeff Bridges makes a great villain as Obadiah Stane and Robert Downey Junior was a revelation as Tony Stark.
This is easily in the top three superhero movies of all time. And the Stan Lee cameo is hilarious this time.
I won’t say more. Go see it.
UPDATE: It’s made $201 million world wide this weekend. Holy crap.

Genius of the Day
A man has been accused of attempting to pass a $360 billion check, which he claims was given to him by his girlfriend’s mother to start a record business, Fort Worth police said.
Charles Ray Fuller, 21, of Crowley, was arrested on April 22 on an accusation of forgery, police said.
Police responded to a report of a man attempting to pass the check about 4 p.m. that day at the Chase bank in the 8600 block of South Hulen Street, Fort Worth police Lt. Paul Henderson said.
The personal check was not made out to Mr. Fuller and when the bank contacted the check owner, the woman said she did not write a check for $360 billion.
He sounds like a typical politician for these times. Spending other people’s money with no concern for the consequences.
