Syd Lexia (a twentysomething slacker with a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and more free time than he cares to admit - it says so on his about page) rates the 23 girl characters of the NES according to hotness and of course, inner beauty.
This one is Samus Aran [wiki] of the game Metroid [wiki], which the game intentionally lead players to believe is a male cyborg (even referring the character as such in the game manual) until the very end of the game!

I’m posting to Flickr the contents of a suitcase full of photos I bought at a yard sale. I’ve got, literally, hundreds of black-and-white snapshots of a family living here in suburban D.C., their friends, their extended family, vacations, all kinds of stuff, from the 1930s up through the late ’50s. There’s a hundred or so posted right now, and some are really cool– check out the kid pulling a gun on Santa!

Why, that kid’s probably not afraid of Santa like these pansies.

A search warrant has been issued for a bullet lodged in a teenager’s head! Here’s the story (only in Texas!):
Prosecutors say the 9mm bullet became lodged in the soft fatty tissue in Mr Bush’s forehead in a shootout with the car salesman.
Police say Alan Olive returned fire after Mr Bush tried to shoot him.
They say Mr Bush was part of a gang that had tried to take cars from the forecourt.
Identified to police by other gang members, Mr Bush was interviewed.
Huvafen Fushi is a small luxury hotel in North Malé Atoll, Maldives. The resort is quite remote: you can only reach it by seaplane or speedboat, but once you’re there, they have everything including the world’s only underwater spa! Link - via sellsius
