  • Yea citizens, when the cold light of justice turns its unflinching beam on evildoers everywhere, it will no longer shine from a two pound metal club. Ace crimefighters from the LAPD will soon be equipped with a new weapon in the arsenal of righteousness...the Pelican 7060 LED flashlight! Presented to the public yesterday, the 7060 was developed to specifications set by the LAPD after Chief Bratton banned their standard issue two foot-long metal flashlight....

  • There are plenty of web-comics around to compete for your attention, but if you're in the market, Big Head Press has one called La Muse that's really slick. You want action? Check. You want shadowy conspiracies? Check. You want updates every week? Check. You want nicely drawn ass-kicking womenfolk? Check!

  • The Airbus A380, largest passenger plane in the known universe, snuck out of town today. After a pretty well choreographed NYC, LA touchdown happened within 15 minutes of each other last weekend, the Airbus Super-Jumbo (as tall as an eight story building and can hold 800 passengers) rolled into LAX -- which shelled out $49 million bucks to make adjustments necessary to support the maiden voyage of the aircraft With the tradition of aerospace...

  • Some medical types released a study on CPR, that found the benefit of chest compressions alone, can be just as beneficial as the current procedure for CPR with mouth-to-mouth ventilation. They also studied the reactions of people when confronted with someone who's collapsed, and discovered 70% of bystanders do nothing, partly because they're afraid of touching a stranger's lips.

  • As we mentioned earlier, two rare violins stolen from a member of the Los Angeles Philharmonic were recovered by French authorities last week. The prime suspect in the case raised suspicions, when he offered the instruments for sale to antique dealers for far under their value. However, before purchasing the violins, the dealers went through the internet looking for a more nefarious reason behind the sketchy deal. They found the LAPD's website which has...
