Contagian billboards promote with real bacteria

To promote the Steven Soderberdh film Contagian, Warner Brothers Canada turned to Lowe Roche to create two billboards that functioned as giant petri dishes which were then injected with bacteria. Over the course of a week, the bacteria grew to form the name of the movie being promoted.

Random Duck stuff

bono1. A new U2 documentary will air on Showtime at the end of October. They are also going away for a long time. Jared, do you have Showtime?
2. Karma is a bitch. Boy Throwing Rocks At Cars gets a crossbow arrow to the abdomen. That’ll learn ya!
3. What? Romney and Bachmann both slipping in the polls? This can’t be right. Oh yeah, I forgot that Perry was vetted by the GOP years ago.
4. Bummer to learn about former Wild player Pavol Demitra (and others) dying in that Russian plane crash Wednesday.
5. Not the best segway here, but virtual boarding agents might be coming to an airport near you. The lifelike 2-D holograms make eye contact, blink and smile while emitting automated phrases, such as “bonjour” and “bon voyage.” Does anyone else think this is spooky?

6. A new online video game is out called, Tea Party Zombies Must Die. Players can take aim at characters as the “Sarah Palin Zombie” and the “Michele Bachmann Zombie” and kill them. I wonder how Gabby” Giffords would feel about this?

7. KARK 4 News meteorologist Brett Cummins is in some hot water after being found in hot tub with naked dead man wearing a dog collar. (Read more)
8. Buttrock definition – If you have heard this term and don’t understand what it means, then let me enlighten you. Buttrock is a subpar genre of music where every song sounds exactly the same. It is usually produced by a band trademarked with cheap, unoriginal song lyrics, and a music that sounds manufactured and predictable. Current music that falls into this category includes Nickleback, Hinder, and Daughtry. It’s not a new term though. 15 years ago, my friends and I considered bands like Winger, Firehouse, and Warrant to be buttrock.

Hiding the Lockheed Plant during World War II

During World War II the Army Corps of Engineers needed to hide the Lockheed Burbank Aircraft Plant to protect it from a possible Japanese air attack. They covered it with camouflage netting to make it look like a rural subdivision from the air. Here are the pictures.

Lockheed was set up like a movie studio production. They had fake houses, trees, etc. and moved parked cars around so it looked like a residential area from the skies overhead.

The net over the plant was strong enough to walk on. Lockheed hired people to ride bicycles and move around as if they lived there to make it look authentic.

Employee cars parked under the net to avoid being seen from planes above.

The 21-foot male crocodile is suspected of having attacked a fisherman who went missing in July. About 100 people had to pull the crocodile, which weighs about 2,370 pounds. It could be one of the largest crocodiles to be captured alive. They plan to make the croc the star attraction of a planned ecotourism park in a southern Philippine town. (Full story) Related story about the 880 pound alligator some Dallas attorney killed awhile back.

Susanne Eman, 32, is trying to become the fattest woman ever. Already 728-pounds, she aims to reach a whopping 1,600 pounds by guzzling more and more food every day. She wants to get into Guinness World Records as the “World’s Heaviest Woman.” The 2012 edition of the book will be released later this month. If you are repulsed by watching this woman kill herself and leave her kids without a mother, then the 2012 edition of Guinness World Records should be left off your Christmas list.

Two little girls steal goat from zoo under the cover of darkness

goatMankato police say two young girls stole a goat from a zoo, but got nabbed while walking their goat home late Saturday night. The girls, two sisters under the age of 10, snuck out of their house to enact the crime while still in their pajamas. They had been at a birthday party at the zoo earlier the same day when they came up with a plan to spring him from goat prison.

When the cops stopped and detained the two pajama-clad girls on the street, they told the officer the goat belonged to them and they were just taking the animal for a late-night walk. As the kid questioning continued, the girls kept stretching their tale.

The goat lives in their bedroom closet, they said. Mom bought it a couple weeks ago, but dad didn’t know about it. So they had to keep the goat thing quiet to keep dad from suspecting anything.

When cops brough them home, the story unraveled like just like it does on the show COPS. No one is completely sure how they got the goat out.
