Overnight Open Thread

So, with all the recent saber rattlin' going on in the Middle East lately, are you guys ready for the real life version of Persian Incursion? I had no idea that this game was out there. Larry Bonds developed this game so I imagine it's quite good and realistic (his work on Harpoon was outstanding).

Ballsy Journalist

Unlike American journalists (who are lazy and make shiite up all day long), this Papua New Guinea reporter went the extra distance to get a story. Not sure I would go so far as he did though. Seems he went and got a Circumcision To Get Access To The Information He Sought.

15 Beautiful Women Who Played Cleopatra. I had no idea that there had been that many movies and I didn't know that Monica Belluci had played her. I might have to go rent that one.

Brad Pitt Buys A Tank

OK, so what does Brad Pitt know that we don't know since he just had a Russian T-54 Tank Delivered To His House? But if he's getting inside info on some upcoming doom, I think I would've purchased something else besides a T-54 tank. I guess he fell in love with it during the filming of World War Z, a zombie flick that is in production right now. So if you had the cash like Brad, what vehicle would you have purchased instead of the T-54?

Sign Of The Times?

The above picture is of a medical student that attends Saxony University in Germany. Pimping Calendars to Lower Their College Bills, Saxony Students Strip Off For Calendar. Actually, the article does not say that but I'm sure there was some cash exchanged. Here's the link showing the Lady Students and here's the one for the Dude Students.

This cat is crazy. He's lucky it's not a rattler.
