1. Parisian subway ticket
Tech Buzz Live Web broadcasts always have a chance for technical glitches. But this one's really special: An endless loop of some truly annoying and eardrum-breaking sounds as the host tries to regain control.
The opening credits of LOST, reimagined as a 1967 sci-fi series. The way LOST is going this season, they might just as well start using these.
Culture Buzz Hubert de Lartigue is a French artist who makes Origami Star Wars ships out of Parisian subway tickets. [Ed Note: Which, honestly, can you even think of a worthier occupation than that?]
All the facts you need to know, plus some. That last bit of info is a doozy.

Heinz Ketchup will have a new Dip & Squeeze packet design after 40 years of the ubiquitous foil package. Holding 3 times more of the condiment, you can either dip into the cup-like packet, or squeeze the Ketchup onto your food. Here's to 40 more years of very occasional ketchup innovation!

This is to hold us over until someone edits the whole series in chronological order. [Spoiler alert: Jack apparently has a slightly different haircut!!]
Tech Buzz How to Master the Video Games was published in 1981. It taught the reader how to get the most gameplay out of their quarter. I don't know about you, but I always wanted to know how to beat Pac Man.
How can you resist? That's the coolest looking nerd I've ever seen!
Movie Buzz From DJ Mayhem and MC Mouthmaster Murf: An epic 10-minute rap detailing the entirety of Aliens. [Ed Note: This is the way James Cameron always intended Aliens to be viewed. They just didn't have the rap technology to do it back then.] (Via: Giagantor.)
Movie Buzz Mike Stoklasa, whose 7-part Phantom Menace review was a sleeper YouTube hit a couple months ago, is back with his thoughts on Avatar. [Ed. Note: This guy needs his own TV show. I'd trust his reviews over Roger Ebert's any day.]
Culture Buzz Stop motion video that uses shadow art for animation. Shadow art that has been printed out and filmed frame by frame which looks to be over 6000 pages worth. Fake? I don't care, it's beautifully done.
