Video: Charlie Sheen's whacked out radio interview causes CBS to shut down his show
CBS has shut down Two and a Half Men for the season after Sheen's truly wacky radio interview with conservative radio host Alex Jones. Some highlights:
• Claimed he cured his alcoholism "with my mind"
• Called his pornstar lovers his "goddesses"
• Insulted show creator Chuck Lorrie "I violently hate Chaim Levine (Chuck Lorre). He's a stupid, stupid little man and a pussy punk that I'd never want to be like."
And it gets even better. Listen and watch:

Dragonfly InsectothopterDeveloped by CIA’s Office of Research and Development in the 1970s, this micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) was the first flight of an insect-sized aerial vehicle (Insectothopter). It was an initiative to explore the concept of intelligence collection by miniaturized platforms. |

Video: Foley artists - the guys that make all the cool sounds in movies
Watch this cool video about Adrian Chen, a Foley artist. They're the people that use all kinds of weird stuff to make the sounds we hear in movies. The sound of a horse galloping through the meadow – that's the work of a Foley artist.

Video: Electronic cigarette banned from planes
I didn't even realize this was an issue and likely the U.S. Department of Transportation didn't as well. That is, until videos like this one of a man smoking a "smokeless" electronic cigarette on a plane started turning up on YouTube. Secretary Ray LaHood said regulations banning smoking do cover e-cigarettes. So butt out those high tech smokes now!

GM Futurliner may grab $600K at auction
Auction house RM is going to be offering one of the coolest buses ever made at its upcoming auction in May: The GM Futurliner. It was made by GM as part of its parade of progress – a traveling auto show in the 1940's and 50's. There were twelve of these babies built and only 8 are know to survive. Very cool.

Video: Very weird – magnetic boy
A Serbian family claims their son Bogdan is magnetic. Forks and knives stick to his body. So do plates. He can't go near computers or they stop working. I'm not sure what is going on, but it is just weird. Have a look:
Video: Judge jails man for ringing phone
A Kentucky judge just got fed up with phones ringing in his court. I guess they are calling him the "Hanging-up Judge" now. Have a look as he jails the phone ranger.
Video: Coach hits and kicks player during practice
Matt Kravchuk likely knew that playing with Holy Family University in Philadelphia was going to be a tough grind, but I'm guessing he didn't sign up for this. During a rebounding drill Kravchuk wasn't working hard enough for coach John O’Connor. O’Connor decided to "inspire" Kravchuk by knocking him to the ground and kicking him while yelling “get up!” Kravchuk – injured and bleeding, got up and went to the back of the line. O’Connor continued saying ”Got a little blood on ya? Good,” and then kicked him out of practice. O'Connor has been suspended. One hell of a coach.

Photo: Highest resolution image of the moon ever
OK, you've seen lots of images of the big pizza pie in the sky. But this one is extraordinary. It's the one of the highest resolution images of the moon ever made. It's actually a mosaic of 1300 separate images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter’s Wide-Angle Camera. The total size is an incredible 24,000 x 24,000 pixels. The images were taken over the course of two weeks in December 2010 by the LRO in a polar orbit around the Moon. Behold!
Dell marketing stunts ends with SWAT team
Image via WikipediaA Dell sales manager dressed in a biker costume complete with black mask while carrying two metallic objects. He then told people at Dell's Round Rock headquarters to "go to the lobby."
The Round Rock SWAT team responded to multiple 911 calls of a suspect inside of one of the Dell campus buildings. When officers stormed the place, they say one man refused to comply with officers. 11 minutes into the situation police finally determined the masked man and another man were part of an in house marketing plan but had not told anyone about it.
Now that's marketing! Sounds more like an episode of The Office.

Video: Catfight brawl at Denny's over syrup
I like my pancakes and like to use lots of syrup, but this is just plain ridiculous. Have a look at this mass brawl at a Kenny's in Chicopee, Massachusetts, when one group of girls asks the other if they could have some syrup. I guess they take their maple syrup real serious in Chicopee.

Video: Terrorist terrier goes on rampage on plane
A Manchester terrier went on a rampage on a US Airways flight after escaping from its cage, biting and injuring a passenger and flight attendant. After landing the dog and its 89-year-old owner were allowed to continue on another flight. I'm hoping they at least strip searched them both.
