Happy Fat Tuesday/Fasnacht Day/Mardi Gras!

Depending on who you are, today is either a huge party day(and night), or a huge donut-eating-and-feeling-no-guilt day!

Or hey, maybe both!

Marvel Comics has announced that they will be partnering with company Hyperion to create and publish two action-and-adventure romance novels, featuring the former Fantastic Four member She-Hulk and X-Men’s Rogue.

Do you think combining romance with comic book action is a good idea? Are you planning on reading these books?

A 26 year old Bactrian camel named Princess, residing at Popcorn Park Zoo, has predicted that the Baltimore Ravens will win the 2013 Super Bowl.

Apparently, Princess has only been wrong once in the past seven years she has made these predictions.

How does a camel make such a prediction? A man writes the name of a team in each palm, and covers his palms with graham crackers. Whichever palm the camel decides to eat first is the team she predicts to win.

What do you think? Will the Baltimore Ravens win the Super Bowl?

In honor of Marvel Comics new X-Men series, featuring all women, we’re wondering; who’s your favorite female superhero?

Black Widow? Ladyhawk? Rogue?

We’ve all heard the quote, “laughter is the best medicine,” but how many of us know why? We did some research and found some good reasons why you should spend your lunch breaks googling funny Youtube videos and browsing our funny t-shirt selection

1. Laughter boosts your immune system. The flu is nasty this year, protect yourself by staying indoors and watching Workaholics or South Park.

2. Laughter relaxes the whole body. Who needs a massage?

3. Laughter triggers the release of endorphins. So does exercise, but sometimes laughing is much more appealing than sweating your butt off for an hour.

4. Laughter prevents heart disease and protects you against a heart attack. Remember this next time you’re not sure whether to invest the time into calling Grandma; you could help save her life by making her laugh!

DC Comics has come together with Kia Motors to create the above superhero-inspired cars! They’ve created The Flash Forte Koup, the Aquaman Rio 5-door, the Green Lantern Soul, the Batman Optima, and the Cyborg Forte 5-door. Superman and Wonder Woman inspired cars will be introduced soon!

Which car would you want to drive? I think we’d drive them all

The White House has finally issued a response to the Death Star petition, titled “This Isn’t The Response You’re Looking For”. The response states that a Death Star will not be built at this time for a variety of reasons; the cost would be counterproductive considering the White House is trying to reduce debt, they don’t support blowing up planets, and why would they spend so much money on something that can so easily be destroyed?

We weren’t too eager to have a Death Star built (uh, hello, did anyone actually watch Star Wars?), so we’re happy with their response. How do you feel about it? Do you think a Death Star would have been a good or bad idea?

The response closes with the lines, ” If you do pursue a career in a science, technology, engineering or math-related field, the Force will be with us! Remember, the Death Star’s power to destroy a planet, or even a whole star system, is insignificant next to the power of the Force.”

At least it seems we have some Star Wars fans in power!
