Mayor of Batman Plans to Sue Director of Batman

He may have vanquished the Joker, but it looks like Batman has a new enemy – a Turkish town that claims the caped crusader stole its name.

Hüseyin Kalkan, mayor of Batman, an ancient oil-producing town in south-eastern Turkey, is planning to sue Christopher Nolan, director of the recent box-office behemoth The Dark Knight, over the use of the name in the film. He claims Nolan and Warner Bros, which owns the film rights to the comic-book character, purloined the name without checking with him first.

“There is only one Batman in the world,” said Kalkan, a member of the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society party. “The American producers used the name of our city without informing us.”

Kiteboarder’s close encounter with a huge whale

Now Australian school teacher David Sheridan knows how Jonah felt – or near enough.

As this amazing picture shows, a huge whale suddenly rose up close to the surface as the 42-year-old New South Wales man was riding his kiteboard – a small surfboard suspended beneath a large kite.

Seconds after this photo was snapped remotely by David’s camera, mounted on the kite apparatus, the whale flicked up its tail and gave him an almighty blow on the back of his head.

Because the camera was programmed to take pictures every 10 seconds it missed the moment when the whale struck David – but this incredible shot of the massive creature swimming beneath him is reminder enough of his close encounter.

Spy Coins

It’s amazing how we can fit so much data into something so small.

On the following pages are exact duplicates
of Cold War Spy Coins. They are all precision
machined from actual coins, and are
absolutely indistinguishable from a solid coin
to the naked eye. They can be safely handled
without danger of separation, and could
easily circulate without detection.

Philly Fix My Car

My name is Ted. Philly flipped my car. I hope they can help fix it. It happened after the world series at Broad and Ellsworth St. at approx. 1:30am. Please help if you can. If 300 people (ideally those on Broad St. who got to enjoy the flipping spectacle) give $10.00 each I’m sure I could get a new car. Whatever you can offer will be much appreciated.

Bag of Randomness

  • I should have used generatus when I was using Twitter.  If you can’t think of anything to update your account with, it will do it for you in a quirky fashion.
  • After the Baylor noose and sign burning incident, this Baptist from Ethics Daily states that Baptists have to make strides in regards to race relations.
  • When I was a kid reading was uncool, so the Harry Potter phenomenon was quite fascinating to me.  Now there is a book series called Twilight that is all the rage with teenage girls and deals with vampires.  I’m sure evangelical parents are trying to find a substitute for each, I remember how upset they were over the Smurfs and their black magic.
  • Google is tracking flu trends.  Link
  • These ladies are stuck in the past.  Link
  • Looking for a side dish?  How about broccoli and Cheetos.
  • America’s healthiest grocery stores.  Link
  • I thought I was the only one annoyed by the Toyota commercials that has that “Saved By Zero” jingle, but there appears to be a big backlash over the campaign.
  • I’m still surprised that Sarah Palin is still in the news.
  • Tuesdays are a slow TV night, I should make that a reading night.
  • I’m totally not interested in the Mavs.
  • Same goes for the Stars.
  • The Cowboys aren’t too far behind.
  • When I got home I noticed there was a vile test tube looking thingy on all our neighborhood doors for a complimentary water test.  I looked up the company and it appears this is their attempt to get our info to sell us a water filtration system.  We ain’t falling for it.
  • I think everytime I see Snoopy I smile.
  • My favorite pizza, and this is probably a  sin for real pizza lovers, is a thin crust peperoni cooked well done from Dominos.
  • I don’t know how she does it, but WifeGeeding gets more beautiful inside and out every day I know her.
  • There are a lot of you I would like to meet in person.
