Micro Fueler
Science Buzz Efuel 100 has developed a contraption that lets you make your own ethanol out of water, sugar, and yeast, and fill up your car at home. It’s definitely not for the typical lazy American, but given the popularity of Hybrids, DIY ethanol could become a real trend.

Liberty City vs NYC
Culture Buzz A Flickr photoset juxtaposing screens from GTA IV’s Liberty city with shots of New York City includes many accurate and crazy details. For more ways in which GTA IV resembles real life, be sure to read this article about dating advice according to Grand Theft Auto.

Crazy Old Lady Hats
Style Buzz SJP sports an outlandish hat at the Sex and the City movie premiere in London. I always assumed that Carrie Bradshaw would turn into one of those senile old ladies who hoards trash and lives with a million cats.
-
Young Bill O’Reilly
Politics Buzz A vintage clip of a young Bill O’Reilly exploding in anger while hosting Inside Edition has surfaced. CBS has been taking the video down everywhere, but you can still watch it here.
-
Young American Bodies
TV Buzz The third season of this web series about the sex lives of young urbanites living in Chicago has been picked up by IFC. There’s sex! And full-frontal nudity! It’s pretty much hipster porn, complete with awkward fumbling and poignant pillow talks. You’ll be aroused and cringing at the same time.
-
Mr. Big Vibrator
Culture Buzz Sex and the City fans can now buy a special edition “Mr. Big” rabbit vibrator, coinciding with the release of the movie. The Sex and the City movie is almost upon us! We’ve been hearing about it for so long now that it might take a vibrator to get us excited again.
-
World’s Ugliest Dogs
Culture Buzz The voting is now open for the 2008 annual World’s Ugliest Dog contest. Cast your vote now! Even though he already won last year, I’m rooting for Elwood (pictured). The mohawk and lolling tongue rival the cuteness of any goldendoodle.
-
Beer Soap
Food Buzz A seller on Etsy has crafted vegan soaps made from Pabst and Guinness. This is probably the last thing you want to bathe yourself with the morning after a vomitous night of binge drinking. But for any of you who have ever looked at a keg and wished you were soaking in it, bathing with beer soap might be the next best thing.
-
Cillian Murphy
Movie Buzz Exceptionally beautiful Irish actor is soon to become a household name as buzz builds for The Dark Knight. His previous roles in 28 Days Later and Breakfast in Pluto won him acclaim, but not heartthrob status. Yay, I have a new desktop centerfold! He is my new Zac Efron.
-
Poultrygeist
Movie Buzz Troma team churns out a movie that’s being called a “satirical sexploitation zombie chicken gross-out musical extravaganza.” Please watch the trailer. Bizarre sex acts and explosive diarrhea make this movie a must-see, but the best part is, you can justify all the mindless schlock because it is actually socio-political commentary on the fast food industry.
-
Green Puppy
Culture Buzz A golden retriever is born in New Orleans with green fur. The puppy is supposedly healthy, with fur that will turn white or tan in a few weeks. Awww. This puppy is such an adorable shade of phlegm green. But it’s still not okay when crazy old ladies dye their poodles pink.
-
Pot-Flavored Candy
Food Buzz A Georgia senator named Doug Stoner wants to ban the sale of marijuana-flavored candy. It’s hard to say we’re going to miss a product that we never even knew existed. But now that we know it does, where can we get some??
-
Alkaline Hydrolysis
Science Buzz Dissolving bodies with lye, which has been used to get rid of animal carcasses for years, is being touted as the green alternative to burial and cremation. Burial is expensive, and cremation can be sacrilegious (someone could try to smoke or snort your ashes). The third option of dissolution could become a viable, environmentally-conscious form of corpse removal.
-
Biodegradable Furniture
Style Buzz New York Times has a piece on the latest trend in environmentally-conscious home furnishing: furniture that disappears when you’re done with it. Here’s an idea that could really take off, especially when it seems like so much furniture from IKEA is practically disposable. It pained me to have to throw out so much stuff when I decided I didn’t want to live like I was in a college dormitory anymore.
-
Anna Nicole Biopic
Movie Buzz Someone’s compiled a video of the best moments from this biopic, starring Willa Ford. In the grand tradition of Oscar-worthy biopics like Ray and Walk the Line, this is pretty much the most anticipated movie of the year.
-
The Clone Wars
Movie Buzz The animated new Star Wars movie comes out August 15th, but the poster and trailer have been released this week. The 3D animation looks kind of blocky, but at least we won’t have to put up with any bad acting.
-
Pancake Puffs
Food Buzz A pan that makes perfectly round pancake puffs that can be filled with anything, from hot dogs to jam. The part during the infomercial where they inject the pancake with beef gravy just made my mouth water. And just think of the amazing brunch you’ll be able to make for your friends with this thing.
-
YAWNS
Culture Buzz An acronym for “Young and Wealthy but Normal” - a certain kind of person who forgoes luxury to change the world. Yawn. I just almost fell asleep sitting up while posting this trend. But it’s so much harder to hate yuppies when they actually care about something.
-
Mastiha
Style Buzz A shop opens in downtown Manhattan that specializes in all manner of products made with Mastiha, an all natural antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial resin which can only be harvested from the sap of evergreen bushes found exclusively in the southern part of the Greek Island of Chios. Also referred to as gum mastic, it’s the new miracle ingredient you’re going to start seeing in everything. Apparently the new Mastihashop even has gum mastic chocolate pistachio balls!
-
M.I.A. Clothing
Style Buzz MIA is launching her own clothing line, which will include bomber jackets, leggings and T-shirts in bold bright hues and graphic prints. It’s kind of magical the way M.I.A. wears really loud, mismatched patterns without looking idiotacky. Now you, too, can attempt to pull off the same look.
