Lego Batman desktop wallpaper (link roundup)

And a few more links:

1. I challenge you to read this and not at least start to consider signing up for cryogenics. And here's a clever idea for an ad for cryogenics:
a group of people in a restaurant, having a party; and the camera pulls back, and moves outside the window, and the restaurant is on the Moon. Tagline: "Wouldn't you want to be there?"


2. From the same website, an critical examination of the Christian concept of heaven:
Heaven is not configured as a nice place to live. It is rather memetically optimized to be a nice place for an exhausted peasant to imagine. It's not like some Christians actually got a chance to live in various Heavens, and voted on how well they liked it after a year, and then they kept the best one. The Paradise that survived was the one that was retold, not lived.


3. Image of a planet inside its star's dust ring.


4. Comment and win a Raving Rabbid figurine.

Ten alternative movie theories

Valerie D'Orazio offers ten alternative theories of popular movies.



7. The Obi Wan Was Totally Banging Amidala Theory
In this theory, Obi Wan was secretly totally banging Princess Amidala, mostly because Anakin was Hayden Christensen. This is the real reason Anakin goes apeshit at the end of "Episode III." And of course, Luke and Leia are really Obi-spawn.

See the whole list here. Her interpretation of Ferris Bueller's Day Off is particularly interesting.

*Here's my alternative theory of The Lorax.
