Batman in a Drop of Water

Earlier this month, I discovered a photographer whose work stopped me in my tracks. Even the most jaded of people might even agree with me in saying that German photographer Marcus Reugels stands above the rest with his photographs. The work that caught my attention features drops of water refracting the earth, or at least part of it. One look at that, and you have to admit that this guy is absolutely brilliant! He has other photos along similar lines, but I think you might appreciate two of his recent pieces even more. How about a couple of superheroes in a drop of water? Well, technically, it is not the Read more »

Well if the very expensive to produce Broadway show ends up at all like the first preview night the rumors and my assertions were definitely warranted. The NY Post and NY Times attended the show and here are just a few of the issues they witnessed: NY POST: The show had to be stopped four times in the first act alone for various snags. NY POST: As the character [Arachne], Read more »

A British boy genius named Hibiki Kono has transformed himself into a real-life wall-crawler. So enraptured of Spider-Man was 13-year-old Kono that he constructed a device that allows him to scale walls by crawling up them. Entirely on his own, he spent five months working on a gadget that connects two vacuum cleaners to a pair of “giant suckerpads,” which uses tremendous suction power to allow him to cling to walls. It appears to work on walls of all kinds, even brick.

Superheroes Solve World War II

I know that this is not totally new but while I have imported some entries from my former ‘geek’ blog to FG, I thought this deserved to be highlighted more than just being there, in the archives. Deviant art member TOYIB has published his image edit, catapulting some of our most loved loved super heroes in to WWII situations. Although he only upped some pictures so far, the results are impressive and it would be awesome to see even more heroes than just Batman, Spiderman, Superman and Darth Vader in WWII situations. Superman at Neuschwanstein, Cologne (D) in 1945. Read more »
