Most Inappropriate Name For A Nursery School Of The Week

I Can’t Believe It Is Butter Of The Week
To be honest, it probably isn’t butter. We reckon some Photoshop jiggery-pokery is going on here. Nevertheless, the idea of using horror icons to advertise a spreadable dairy product – as in this campaign created by Italian Ad Agency, Alch1m1a ADV – is the creamy stuff Spurious Awards are made of.

Ang Lee on his version of Hulk : “My problem is that I took the whole thing too seriously. I should have had more fun with it, instead of all the psychodrama!” [via Vulture ]
Action Figures Of The Week
Okay, if you’re thinking, “This is real science, not SFX territory!” then what you need to know is that all the Photoshopping work was based on Star Trek action figure. So there.

Australian history students were baffled to find what appeared to be a giant Mecha in revolutionary Russia when they opened their exam papers. The image was supposed to be Storming The Winter Palace On 25th October 1917 by Nikolai Kochergin, though it had a high-tech addition not normally seen in the original painting. TheAge.com.au appears to have solved the mystery. When you do a Google search for "Storming the Winter Palace On 25th October 1917" guess what picture pops up on the first line of results…?
