The most talked-about video game consoles-the existing Xbox 360 and the soon-to-be launched PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii-each contain its own set of features designed to catch the fancy of gamers.

Technorati Tags: funny pictures, humor
Unless you've been living under a rock for the last fifty years, you've probably seen all Star Wars films. And chances are, you've seen at least three films twice. Three decades of Star Wars and everyone has either been entertained or annoyed by the myriad of characters George Lucas has foisted upon the movie-going public. Yoda. Darth Maul. Queen Amidala. Princess Leia. R2-D2. Darth Vader.
But can you imagine Mr. T, Tom Cruise, and Mahatma Gandhi as Yoda? Julia Roberts as Princess Leia? Or Rowan Atkinson (yep, Mr. Bean himself) as Darth Vader? The guys who did these pictures over at Worth1000.com obviously can, and the results are nothing less than hilarious and at times awesome. -

Tag(s):
"Eat your vegetables, kids".
How many times have we heard our moms say those words? Most kids hate eating veggies, comparing it to munching on grass. But over the years, a number of studies on the benefits of "munching on grass" apparently prove our mothers right. And a new study published just this week just drives that point further home.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports that a new study published in the medical journal Neurology reveals that consuming vegetables keep the brain young, and slow mental decline in aging people.

Technorati Tags: dental care, teeth
The expression "flashing your pearly-whites" may hold true for some people, but far too many people just can't lay claim to having them. This is the reason why many resort to using teeth whitening products sold in stores and in dentists' offices, to spruce up their smiles.
The question is, do they work? Apparently, they do, at least briefly.
CBS News cites a WebMD report on the review conducted by University of Michigan School of Dentistry Hana Hasson and her colleagues of 25 studies on at-home tooth-whitening products. -

With the Sony PlayStation 3 and the Nintendo Wii hitting the market next month, which video game console do you think will hard-core gamers go for?

Technorati Tags: exercise, health, fertility
While working out, it is common among both men and women to try to push their limits, whether it's adding another hour to their treadmill time or doing heavier weights. Naturally, the exercisers who do this do so to the point of exhaustion. Most of us think that pushing our limits gives us better results, but a new study reveals that heavy-duty workouts may impair fertility in men. -

At the height of Communist rule in Russia, the only cars that worked Moscow's streets were probably the Zil limousines for Party officials and a handful of cheap but privately owned cars. But with the demise of Communism, many Russians have struck it rich, some of them through oil. With their newfound wealth, many have turned to splurging on luxury cars, making them a common sight in the streets of the Russian capital. -
Tattoo Teacher

Technorati Tags: Bruce Potts, Tattoos, tattoo artist, body art
Getting tattoos is not exactly the most comfortable thing in the world. Whether you like it or not, engaging a tattoo artist to do your body art will always be a painful proposition, what with the repeated jabs of needles done all throughout the procedure. This is why people who get tattoos are often perceived to be really tough. Think Dennis Rodman and you'll get an idea.
But as far as toughness in the face of tattoos goes, Rodman has nothing on this University of New Mexico teacher whose thing for tattoos led him to have his entire head covered with intricate tattoo designs. Next to Bruce Potts, Rodman, with all his tattoos and piercings, would seem like a schoolgirl. See his photo to see why.

Remember that fight scene from Scary Movie 2 where one of the characters gets her butt kicked into the wall, but saves herself by inflating her breasts (presumably with implants) to absorb the impact? This one is a little something like that. This time, breast implants save a lady's life-for real.
