Wanna Play GTA IV For 40 Hours Straight?

A man has broken the record for most hours of video games played consecutively. The previous record was 28 hours and 1 minute and the new record is 40 consecutive hours of playing GTA IV. The record was broken by Chirantan Patnaik of Mumbai, India. This record is verified by the Guinness World Records so it is official. That takes an incredible amount of energy to stay awake and extreme boredom.

The popular website Twitter has reached 5 Billion Tweets. They finally have reached the 5 Billionth mark for people who have wasted their lives telling everybody what they are doing every 2 seconds. I wonder if that was the highlight of that person's life. The tweet said, "Oh lord."

Walmart Phone Company?

Walmart current has a pay as you go plan for only $45 dollars a month! In this plan you can get unlimited wireless calling and texting. You can also get all of this without a contract. The down side is you have to buy a $100 phone from Walmart, but sounds like it is worth it. You can also choose an alternate 30-day plan for $30 and it includes 1000 minutes and 1000 text or mms messages. Sounds like a very good deal to me.

New Simpsons Character?

The Simpsons has announced a contest to make a new character for the show. The contest begins on Friday October 23rd and ends on midnight on Saturday October 24th. The only requirement is that the new character has to be a human. You are supposed to list his or her characteristics, catch phrase, and occupation. You do not necessarily have to draw a character, they have people for that.

Polaroid Coming Back

Polaroid has decided to come out of retirement and is now coming out with a new polaroid instant picture camera in 2010. This reason for this is because of the large popularity and demand for those cameras. They are pretty cool though. If you don't know what I'm talking about then maybe this picture will refresh your memory.

DJ Hero

New game DJ Hero has recently released the new track list of all the songs on the new game. There are many famous and known bands from the Beastie Boys to Vanilla Ice. Most of the songs are mash-ups though for the ultimate DJ experience. My favorite mash-up is definitely Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" VS MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This." That is going to be awesome. I like the idea of mixing songs together, but you should have the choice to mix the songs you want to mix. If you want to mix "Insane In The Brain" and "Bust A Move" you should be able to do it.

Recycle Your Pee In Outer Space


Astronauts are starting to recycle.... their own urine..? Yeah they drink water that is recycled from their urine and sweat. The process is done through a new purification system. One of the astronauts even said, "The taste is great." This is supposed to reduce the price of transporting water to outer space. But at what cost!?!?! So if you ever dreamed about becoming an astronauts, this may change your mind.
