Voyager 1, It’s Been Real
It’s official, Voyager 1 has reached interstellar space (meaning it has left our solar system). Scientists first thought Voyager 1 was in interstellar space in August 2012, but were unable to confirm because of a sensor that had broken about 30 years ago, (NASA step your game up) but recently we were able to confirm that Voyager 1 is currently 11 billion miles away form the sun. At that distance it takes up to 17 hours for data to be transmitted back to Earth! Despite its distance and age of the spacecraft, NASA predicts to have about 13 more years of use left out of the vessel.

Why It Sucks To Be A Redskin Fan: Guy Loses Bet, Has To Eat Part Of His Beard
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPJdC5junHQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I don’t know why this guy bet on the Redskins and I don’t care. All I know is I expected to see someone eat his beard and I was let down. You lost the bet, so now have to deliver on a promise. Those are the rules of betting. If your beard is 3 feet long and you say you’re gonna eat your beard then I expect you to eat at least half of that beard. Who are these guys friends letting him get away with this? If this guy was one of my friends we’d make him shave the whole thing off then eat it piece by piece. Then we’d make a smoothie out of his tears. Tough love is the only love. I’m glad he’s a Redskins fan, because after a showing like that he deserves to suffer for all of eternity.

Florida Might Honestly Be The Worst Place On Earth
(Source) “Beware of the monkeys!
Hundreds of rare wild monkeys — some carrying herpes — are on the loose in Florida after a tour guide brought the spunky critters to the state long ago.
Wildlife officials said that three pairs of Rhesus monkeys were transported to a park near Ocala in the 1930s by tour operator Colonel Tooey after a “Tarzan” flick sparked a fascination with the creature.
But the breed has since boomed and more than 1,000 of the monkeys now live in the state, wildlife officials say.
State officials have caught more than 700 of the monkeys in the past decade — most of which tested positive for the herpes-B virus.
Wildlife officials now consider the monkeys a public health hazard.
Current Silver River tour operator Captain Tom O’Lenick, 65, defended transporting the animals, claiming people love them.
“Everybody who comes on the river for a tour wants to see the monkeys,” O’Lenick said.
“From my point of view, as a naturalist, I think the planet changes naturally and species do move around, whether that is by man or other means,” he said.
The monkeys were first marooned on a small island near the Silver River. But the creatures learned to swim.
They have since been spotted hundreds of miles away, near Jacksonville, officials said.
“Just like any other wild animal you need to give them space,” said British wildlife photographer Graham McGeorge, 42.
The monkeys eat dirt and spiders and live near rivers.”
Florida is just falling apart at the seams. If you told me herpes monkeys were invading a state Florida would be my first guess. The same state that has people who stab their brothers over mac n’ cheese have herpes infested monkeys? Shocker. Florida used to be known for sunshine and the elderly. Now it’s known for psychos and herpes monkeys. Not the ideal transition.

“Better Call Saul” Will Fill Our Breaking Bad Void
(Source) “The PR department at AMC just sent out the following brief statement:
AMC and Sony Pictures Television confirmed today that they have reached a licensing agreement for a spinoff of Vince Gilligan’s landmark AMC/SPT series Breaking Bad. As conceived, the new series is based on the show’s popular Saul Goodman character with the working title Better Call Saul. Plans call for Saul to be a one-hour prequel that will focus on the evolution of the popular Saul Goodman character before he ever became Walter White’s lawyer.
Perhaps after someone writes a script they’ll all decide that this is a bad idea. Or maybe they’ll shoot a pilot and decide they don’t like it. But if nothing else this means that a bunch of creative people are going to try to make this show.
Rumors of a Saul-centric series have been going around for a while; back in April, June Thomas made the case here on Brow Beat that such a show was probably a bad idea, given that the sketchy lawyer archetype, while “a wonderfully adaptable supporting character,” is probably not “substantial enough to sustain a whole show.”
I tend to agree. But I’m still curious to find out. And the prequel route seems like the way to go; for one thing, it means we still don’t know whether Saul Goodman will make it to the end of Breaking Bad alive. And even if he does, I can only assume he’d want to follow up the Walter White saga with some peace and quiet. Better to see how he ended up in the dubious place he had reached when Walt first found him.
Update: Variety confirms that Bob Odenkirk will star in the series (in case you feared that AMC would try to cast a younger actor in the role of the youthful Goodman) and that Peter Gould, a writer and producer who has worked on all five seasons of Breaking Bad, will be “spearheading the project.”
It must be Breaking Bad Thursday. Awesome news from AMC and Vince Gilligan, as everybody’s favorite crooked lawyer is getting his own well deserved spinoff. Details are obviously still sketchy, but many believe (including the article above) it could be a prequel to Saul’s days before Heisenberg.
Falsonberg is the Best Parody You Will See All Day
Jimmy Falon is the king of the digital short, and his parody of Breaking Bad doesn’t disappoint. Even a few of the actual characters from the show make an appearance! YEAH BITCH!

Samsung is Dominating the Smart Wearable Tech Game
The smart phone I have been waiting for is finally here and no, I am not talking about the new iphone(s). What I am talking about is a phone for grown ass men; the phone i’m talking about is the Galaxy Note 3. Here are the specs behind this 3rd generation smartphone/phablet:
- 2.3 Quad-core power
- 3gb of Ram
- Comes with either 32/64gb preinstalled with options for up to 64gb on a microSD
- 13mp camera (with all the same gimmicky features as the S4)
- 5.7″ 1080 super AMOLED display
If those specs don’t get your blood pumping then check out what else was released with the Note 3, Samsung’s all-new Galaxy Gear (AKA Samsung’s attempt at a smart watch.
The watch looks pretty stylish and has lots of functionality with the Note 3 (and eventually S4, and Note 2). Here are the specs for Galaxy Gear:
- 800 MHz processor
- 32ox320 super AMOLED screen
oh yea, and it has a 720p hd camera on it. Packing this with apps that work hand-in-hand with your phone is Samsung’s goal with this watch.
From what I saw at the live event last week was that these devices are super customizable with cases and colors. This allows you to tailor each device to your personality and style, which this combo has a lot of.

PS- I really hope the watch fits my wrist. I’ll be pissed if my gorilla wrists stop me from getting Galaxy Gear. Gotta try before I buy I guess.
