“A rare World War Two German bomber, shot down over the English Channel in 1940 and hidden for years by shifting sands at the bottom of the sea, is so well preserved a British museum wants to raise it.
The Dornier 17 — thought to be world’s last known example — was hit as it took part in the Battle of Britain. It ditched in the sea just off the Kent coast, southeast England, in an area known as the Goodwin Sands. The plane came to rest upside-down in 50 feet of water and has become partially visible from time to time as the sands retreated before being buried again.
Now a high-tech sonar survey undertaken by the Port of London Authority (PLA) has revealed the aircraft to be in a startling state of preservation.”

In case you haven’t heard…Detroit’s mayor recently asked his tax payers how they can revitalise the motor city. Someone offered the suggestion of building a RoboCop statue and tweeted the following. “Philadelphia has a statue of Rocky & RoboCop would kick Rocky’s butt. He’s a GREAT ambassador for Detroit.” Unfortunately Detroit’s mayor responded with “There are not any plans to erect a statue to RoboCop. Thank you for your suggestion.”
Well, that set off all the fans into a frenzy and they set up a donation fund of $50,000 to erect a Robo statue. The internet is a very powerful tool and guess what…it’s official. Over $50,000 was raised and Detroit will be getting their cyborg guardian.

Spin on over to Detroit Needs A Statue of RoboCop to check out the brilliance of this concoction and to make your donation.

Zombies! Yes! Who else is pumped for the new AMC series based upon The Walking Dead comics by Robert Kirkman? Everyone! If you’re “dying” to get your Walking Dead groove on before the show starts, you can head on over to The Walking Dead Forum. There, you’ll find any and all info concerning the new AMC series.
If you’ve been following the kick ass comic series I’m sure you know how high the expectations are for said tv series. With Frank Darabont at the helm, I’m sure the series will be done extremely well. I even saw an interview with him that said he’d always wanted to make a zombie flick after seeing Romero’s Night of the Living Dead. Excellent inspiration there Mr. Darabont. Also, if you’d like to join the Zombie Army and chat about the Zombie Revolution you can do it at The Walking Dead Forum.
AMC’s The Walking Dead premier’s October 31st, 2010.

It’s F-F-F-F-F-Finally here! I know you’ve been waiting years for it. The Max Headroom: The Complete Series is now available on DVD.
Max Headroom was a stuttering computer character from Britain who was portrayed by actor Matt Frewer. Max made numerous appearances throughout his reign, which included The Max Headroom Show, Commercials, MTV and even video games. The background story provided for the Max Headroom character presents a dystopic look at a run-down near-future dominated by television and large corporations. Ah, only could you find whacked out crap like this in the 80’s. Mac Tonight wishes he was this cool. Pick MMMMMMMMax up right here.

So I only  have one question. Where’s the BLU BLU BLU BLU BLU BLU-RAY?

Created as a concept car, the Citroën Karin was shown at the Paris Motor Show in 1980. The car and its unique shape was designed by Trevor Fiore.
The futuristic design is reminiscent of the DeLorean, but with the pyramid shape the Karin has, it is far superior. The angular design is very uncommon and the straight lines are also echoed throughout the interior. Designed as a 3 passenger car, the center-mounted steering wheel allows the driver to sit just behind the two passengers.
Fact is, this fine automobile is a thing of brilliance and I need one.
