xkcd!

Web cartoonist Randall Munroe answers simple what-if questions ("what if you hit a baseball moving at the speed of light?") using math, physics, logic and deadpan humor. In this charming talk, a reader's question about Google's data warehouse leads Munroe down a circuitous path to a hilariously over-detailed answer — in which, shhh, you might actually learn something.

Goku VS Superman http://mitchmckenna.com/post/12452/death-battle-goku-vs-superman

Well, here's a showdown I never thought I'd see - Dragon Ball Z's Goku vs DC's Superman. Two of the ultimate heroes from completely different fictional universes. The guys over at screwattack decided to celebrate the 25th episode of their series Death Battle! with the "ultimate answer to the ultimate question! Two alien saviors battle to the death! One will win. One will die." It's pretty cool, halfway through they actually have a cgi animation where they fight it out, not bad. There's an interesting conversation about this matchup over on reddit.

I gotta say, I'm a big Ryan Reynolds fan. I'm not digging the other green lanterns, but Reynolds looks pretty bad ass. Check out the first Green Lantern movie trailer which stars Reynolds as Hal Jordan and Blake Lively as Carol Ferris, due in June 2011.

Justice League Super-Heroes to team up with THE 99 http://mitchmckenna.com/post/7944/naif-al-mutawa-superheroes-inspired-by-islam

In THE 99, Naif Al-Mutawa's new generation of comic book heroes fight more than crime -- they smash stereotypes and battle extremism. Named after the 99 attributes of Allah, his characters reinforce positive messages of Islam and cross cultures to create a new moral framework for confronting evil, even teaming up with the Justice League of America.

Jonah Hex Trailer http://mitchmckenna.com/post/7347/jonah-hex-trailer

The new trailer for the Jimmy Hayward-directed film starring Josh Brolin, John Malkovich, Megan Fox, Will Arnett, Michael Fassbender and Michael Shannon.

Jonah Hex (Josh Brolin) is a scarred drifter and bounty hunter of last resort, a tough and stoic gunslinger who can track down anyone... and anything. Having survived death, Jonah's violent history is steeped in myth and legend, and has left him with one foot in the natural world and one on the "other side." His only human connection is with Leila (Megan Fox), whose life in a brothel has left her with scars of her own. But Jonah's past is about to catch up with him when the U.S. military makes him an offer he can't refuse: in exchange for his freedom from the warrants on his head, he must track down and stop the dangerous terrorist Quentin Turnbull (John Malkovich). But Turnbull, who is gathering an army and preparing to unleash Hell, is also Jonah's oldest enemy and will stop at nothing until Jonah is dead. Based on the legendary graphic novel, "Jonah Hex" is an epic adventure thriller about one man's personal quest for redemption against the vast canvas of the battle between good and evil.
