According to Michael and Evo's Slice of SciFi DVD Sales haved pushed Serenity over the top and into the black.

All DVD reports up to January 31st are in and it looks like over 2 million DVD's have been sold and VideoBusiness.com, an organization that tracks video rental information, announced that Serenity has made $9 million in DVD rentals alone.

It hasn't even been released on DVD worldwide yet, it gets released in the UK in a few days and I for one shall be buying a copy. So this makes up for the poor box-office that it received but I wouldn't count my chickens just yet.

The fact that Serenity has taken Universal out of the red and into the black is great news, but don't cheer too early. According to Universal execs it still may not be enough for them to wager on a costly sequel, even though Whedon brought this one in at $1 million under its original projected cost of $40 million.

Like practically every other Firefly fan on the planet I just can't get enough of the crew of Serenity and would welcome further adventures but what I really would like is another season of the television series.

Failing that then perhaps I can settle for a set of Lego Serenity crew members.

Although it probably took many days to complete construction of this awesome Difference Engine made from Lego.



This Difference Engine was constructed by Andrew Carol and is apparently capable of computing 2nd or 3rd order polynomials to 3 or 4 digits. Charles Babbage's design for Difference Engine No.2, which was finally constructed by the Science Museum in 1991 as Nineteenth century machining wasn't quite up to the task, could evaluate 7th order polynomials to 31 digits of accuracy.

Even so Andrew Carol has managed an astounding feat I believe. If only I had the time and blocks to construct one of my very own.

Man arrested for shoving ice cream into mailbox

A man who shoved ice cream into a mailbox here has been arrested for violating the Mail Law, police said Saturday.

Yoshiaki Kobayashi, 42, admitted to the allegations. "I was frustrated because my job was not going well. I wanted to vent my anger," he was quoted as telling investigators.

This is just too bizarre. The stress of being a salaryman must have really gotten to this poor fellow.

Cthulego Rises!
The Monsters of the Cthulego Mythos are accidentally awoken by Lord Sinister. This is the best use of Lego I've seen in a long time. It's a remarkably detailed model.
