Chinese designer Daizi Zheng has created a mobile phone that uses sweet drinks like Coca Cola instead of lithium batteries.

Zheng has been working on this revolutionary device for Finnish cellphone giant Nokia, and claims he has come up with a way of using sugar-based drinks to power mobiles. Any sweet drink, even sugar-sweetened water would be enough to keep the phone running much longer than lithium batteries

As if Coca Cola wasn’t amazing enough.  Now they can use this liquid to power a cell phone?  I mean is this going to have to be a secret too?  Can you believe that their recipe is in like the top 5 world’s biggest kept secrets?  Pretty cool huh?

Typecasting is nothing new in Hollywood; it’s not very surprising, seeing as some actors just look and act like the cliched roles they attract. This phenomenon explains why Meg Ryan has never taken a role as a transvestite vampire, and Meatloaf has never been the object of affection in a romantic comedy.

But amazingly, some people seem to perform uncannily similar roles over and over, like Groundhog Day, but with less appealing actors. Causality loop, strange coincidence or extreme lack of range?

Check out 7 actors typecast in bizarrely specific roles

Just so people out there know what’s happening in this world.  These are the guys, yes, these are the guys that are taking our women away from us.   We may mock Jersey Shore but they are slowly taking over people.  Mark my words.  It’s gonna be a big douchefest.

Wow.

That’s really all I have to say about master CG artist Raoni Nery’s vision of Buzz Lightyear if he was a real, brightly-colored astronaut. Most cartoons morphed into real people look pretty terrifying, but Buzz here looks pretty badass, neon plating and all.

And if you were wondering, yes, Buzz does have that much of a unibrow normally. Yeah, it’s not as odd looking on a cartoon is it?

You can check out the rest of Raoni’s work here, and I really hope he does a Woody-based follow up. Or actually just adapt any awesome cartoon, Venture Bros, Aqua Teen, Futurama. You’ve got your work cut out for you dude.

With all due respect to Goldie Hawn in Private Benjamin, let’s not kid ourselves.  This is by far the hottest picture of any celebrity in a true military outfit in a movie.

Have I been missing for the last 2 years?  What the hell is the movie Major Movie Star?  Did this thing go straight to video?  I’m pretty sure no matter how bad the movie is I kind of owe it to myself to see every single movie that has Jessica Simpson in it.

“When fluffy, bubble gum movie star Megan Valentine suddenly finds herself broke and humiliated in the public eye, she wanders from the wreckage of a car accident and witlessly enlists in the U.S. Army hoping in vain that it will change her life.”

Works for me!

The prospect of drowning is frightening in real life, but if it does happen, at least there’s no scary music to go along with it.

There are many games where your character can drown, Tomb Raider, Mario, etc. But none are quite as heart-pounding as Sonic the Hedgehog, which played this frantic score until you managed to find an air bubble creeping up from the ocean floor. Also, the sound of the all your precious rings being scattered across the world is equally jarring if you ask me.

Thanks to Reddit for reminding me of this.

I’ve seen pictures of faces of actors matched up with the animated characters they voice, but it’s MUCH more entertaining to see it in real time. That’s why I’ve assembled this collection of videos which show real life people voicing your favorite animated characters from TV and video games.

My personal favs are Pikachu and Mario, but nothing beats hearing Mark Hamill do his crazy Joker voice in real life. Check out the video collection below, and if you think I missed any good ones, feel free to let me know.

How does something like this happen? Like how do you end up loving Alice in Wonderland so much, that you get the entire goddamn movie tattooed on your back? Now, I’m not saying it isn’t awesome, and I’m very glad she did it as I now have my 1PM post for the day here, but man, absurd.

Here’s a question, if you could get one movie tattooed on your back, what would it be? Not just like, characters from the movie, I mean like, a series of scenes that more or less would tell someone the entire plot of the movie.

I’m going to have to go with Sunshine, just because the giant sun on the middle of my back would look SUPER AWESOME. Although, yellow tattoos look sort of shitty. But anyway, the rest of it would be pretty excellent as well. I would have said Moon, but I don’t want like 25 versions of Sam Rockwell on my back.

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been fascinated with sharks.  My interest in these remarkable fish has never really waned, leading to my majoring in zoology while at college and my insistence that Shark Week is must-see television.  Sharks have evolved over millions of years to become the most efficient fish in the sea, and one can’t help but admire how they’re built perfectly for their roles as predators.

Most of the sharks we see in movies are Great Whites, and every once in awhile, we’ll get some makos (like in Deep Blue Sea).  But there are a lot of sharks swimming in the Earth’s oceans that look nothing like the sharks we see on the big screen.  I usually post about movies or video games, but some of these sharks look so bizarre that they can only be classified as “unreal.”  I hope you enjoy this gallery of the strangest-looking sharks in the world.

That I’ve gone this long without mentioning James Hong in one of these articles is a complete travesty.  He very well might be the king of all “that guy” kings.  With over 340 credits between movies and TV he’s got to be the top dog in this category.

The best thing about him is that I guarantee you 9 out of 10 people would recognize either his face or voice and at least 9.9 out of those 10 would not know his name.

His credits are endless but my favorites include him playing Lopan in Big Trouble in Little China, the host in the Chinese restaurant in Seinfeld where he says “Seinfeld?  Four?????” and as the master (Edward Po Wong) at the Coral Essex Hotel in Revenge of the Nerds II.

There are countless other appearances from Hong but this 81-year-old legend deserves our praise.  Happy Birthday buddy!  He celebrated on Monday.
