Queen Elizabeth has historic new wheels. The beloved British monarch, 88, will ride to the state opening of parliament in her Diamond Jubilee stagecoach that has been called a "living time capsule," made with wood taken from the Tower of London, Henry VII's warship, Sir Isaac Newton's apple tree and the door of 10 Downing Street, the U.K.'s The Mirror reports. The new carriage, created over the course of a decade by Australian Jim Frecklington from his team's workshop in Sydney, is only the second one built for the royal family in 100 years. "I wanted to create something very special to mark the Queen's reign,...

Do we really need spoiler-filled trailers? When it comes to forthcoming movies, ignorance is sometimes bliss, James writes...
I don't know much about Gravity. I'm not talking about the force because I do know a bit about that. I remember getting some basic info and an anecdote about Sir Isaac Newton's apple tree in physics lessons at school. I've seen gravity in action and have personal experiences of it, though fortunately nothing that would inspire any Jimmy-Stewart-in-Vertigo-style trauma.
I know that Mars (Barsoom) has lower gravity than Earth and that's why John Carter can leap really high and really far when he's on the planet. I know that the Battle Room in Ender's Game has zero gravity and that makes for a fun combat simulation experience for kids coerced into an ultra-serious military career ultimately aiming at alien genocide. That in itself is a...

Fresh off the return of Barry and his master plan last week, "Skin Game" introduced to the Archer universe's second cyborg during a lovely vacation to Krieger's transitional neighborhood.
After our trip to the neighborhood that scared off crack dealers, I'm not convinced I could love Krieger any more. The dude not only wears flesh-colored suit (unless you're black) while scuba diving, he straight up became Dr. Franenkrieger this week.
Much like Sterling, I never saw the return of Katya this week. I may not have liked her the first time around, but 2.0 brought a much wittier addition, complete with all her witty computer references. Her special place. Her C-Drive. I think I get it.
Ironically, Katya was also more human this time around. We finally got to know more than the slutty dressed pair of boobs that Archer fell in love with.
She might have been less irritating the...

As the spotlight beams brightly on ChatRoulette and its attendant lumps, humps, and hairy backs, there is another, more wholesome, site that's just debuted. It promises all the thrill of videochatting with strangers with the protection that comes from limiting the audience to college coeds in possession of an .edu email address. Behold RandomDorm.com.
How It Started
RandomDorm.com grew out of another recently launched site that cheekily claims to "connect student bodies." Called GoodCrush, the concept is the brainchild of Josh Weinstein, a recent Princeton grad who appears to have had a Newton's apple moment, romance version 2.0.
"During my sophomore year an idea hit me--there needs to be an easy way to offer my peers (read: myself) a risk-free way of expressing a crush wherein their (my) identity is only revealed if there's a match," explains Weinstein. Enter the Crush Finder.
The utility was simple: Enter the names...
