While it is tough to be a woman, being a man can be downright deadly. Women live longer than men. And now scientists suggest a simple Darwinian reason: Competing for a mate can wear a guy out or get him killed.

I don't care if your the biggest comic book nerd in the world or not, anybody will appreciate a glance at one of the world's most popular superhero's first ever comic book issue. June 1938 was the date the very first issue of superman was released under Action Comics and continues to be a very popular character to this day.
Superman has had his share of television and film adaptations with more recently Superman returns hitting theaters in the coming months, and Smallville television series taking a look at the legend that is superman.
You can find the original print of Issue #1 here as JPG image files, which is the complete issue, and in very good condition.
Al Pacino's upcoming theatrical production of Oscar Wilde's Salome looks like a very interesting 'period' piece, with very modern elements and underlying subtexts which make the story of Salome that more intereting to tell.
A dramatic production based on the biblical tale of lust and revenge, Oscar Wilde’s SALOME draws the audience into a decadent world of passion and betrayal. SALOME follows the legend of King Herod and his unbridled desire for Salome, the young daughter of his wife, Herodias. Salome, indifferent to Herod’s advances, longs for the love of the imprisoned John the Baptist. When he rejects her, she uses her powers of seduction and manipulation – and the Dance of the Seven Veils – to seek her revenge. - salome.com
Al talks about his newest production, what fascinates him about the story of Salome and how he feels audiences will react to the story.
New Super Mario Bros for the Nintendo DS is a game I am so looking forward to, and have been for most of the year. If you ever played any of the Super Mario Bros games on the gameboy, NES, SNES you will know how addictive the side scrolling adventure with our favourite plumber can be. Well, that sidescrolling concept has been given new life with new 3D graphics on a 2D plane. Here are some picks to get you excited:
New Super Mario Bros releases in the US on May 15th and in Japan May 30th. Australian/New Zealand & Euro gamers won't see mario until mid June I think, so I'll definately be importing my copy in on the 15th for sure. My fellow Aussies, I use a site called DVD Crave to import my games, they have such great prices and they will ship your goods to you usually within 2-3 days which is nice.
A great game worth checking out I think if you own a Nintendo DS, It will be responsible for many nights awake I think! lol.

Hey guys, haven't written anything on here for at least a few days, its been a madhouse with uni at the moment. I have this essay I have to write, I may have talked about it before, but its an essay on Operating Systems. Here's the topic in question:
“Operating Systems have two main functions. The first is to provide resource abstraction and the second is to manage resource sharing.”
Sounds fun huh lol. im going ok with it at the moment I suppose but only have a few more days to get it done before its due so been pushing for that recently. Soon enough Justin, soon enough it will be all over.
Mmm what else. Thinking about going to see Mission Impossible 3 tomorrow, i think that will be a cool movie. To be perfectly honest, Im not a huge fan of Tom Cruise at the moment. Seems as though he's gone a little crazy personally, but I do think he's a pretty good actor. Should be good anyway.
Just a quick one for today, gotta get back to this damn essay, its killing me right now! lol.
Check back on Friday for Ep#4. I haven't been talking about all that much, but rest assured, it will be a great episode.
