Cory Doctorow releases self under Creative Commons License (from the Locus fake news page).

ThinkGeek always comes up with wonderful gadgets, and the Betamax to HD-DVD converter is no exception. Their front page has a bunch of other items, including a teaser shot of Wii Sports for iPhone and a caffeinated cereal.

Meanwhile, News.com is reporting that Facebook head asshole Mark Zuckerberg will be hosting SNL.

TNA Wrestling is claiming that The Rock and Rave Infection have landed the cover of the next Rock Band game.

Over in Kingdom of Loathing, there are lots and lots of salad references. Including all icons and many combat words. There's also a Spectral Salad Factory. :-)

And for Starcraft 2 fans, Blizzard has announced the Tauren Marine.

And why isn't there bacon cereal? I mean really?

There isn't?

Then what are those Baco's containers for?

My favorite from ThinkGeek is the USB pregnancy tests. Considering how many comms there are that are dedicated to having the internet decide if you're pregnant or not, that was a brilliant move.

For WoW fans, Blizzard announced the Bard Class.

And I have to admit to being amused by the mass suicide at Bantam over George R. R. Martin's 87 page final manuscript.

You bastard! I've just been rickrolled!

I was expecting a real fake video to go with the fake product.

Oh man, tauren marines would be so awesome if they were real.

Totally off topic.
Not sure if you've seen this, but it amused me. And since you are the most bacon-obsessed person I know of, I thought I'd share.

One of my officemates actually has this, and keeps it on her desk at work. I spin it every day. :-)
