Poiser - A Hand Drawn Physics Puzzle Game

Drop blocks on a balance beam until you reach a designated height, then move on to the next level. It’s simple (in concept) and fun.

Try it!

At what temperature
does it qualify as”hot”?

This summer has, so far been a hell of a season for comic book inspired movies. Some would say it is an over-glut of childish super heroes for men whom have never really grown up. Well, other than the childish part, I’m fine with that.

It’s only the 2nd of July and I have been fortunate enough to have seen Iron man and The Incredible Hulk, and I am looking forward to Wanted (oh you didn’t know), Hellboy II, and The Dark Knight. That’s not to mention the others coming later this year; The Punisher: War Zone, The Spirit, and the long awaited The Watchmen. Needless to say I am excited about many of these, but because I am already somewhat familiar with the stories (from the comic books) I don’t like them ruined by too much press.

Lately, I’ve been avoiding any and all continued overexposure to the upcoming Bat-Man film “The Dark Knight” as I would like to enjoy the film as much as possible as it was intended, without spoilers. However when Kevin Smith reviews a film and swears he won’t give anything away… well I am willing to bend for Kev.
So, here it is if you are interested.

The following is quoted from My Boring-Ass Life, Kevin Smith’s personal blog at silentbobspeaks.com

Courtesy of Peter Sciretta over at SlashFilm.com, I caught an early screening of “The Dark Knight” yesterday evening. Without giving anything away, this is an epic film (and trust me: based on the sheer size and scope of the visuals and storytelling, that’s not an overstatement). It’s the “Godfather II” of comic book films and three times more earnest than “Batman Begins” (and fuck, was that an earnest film). Easily the most adult comic book film ever made. Heath Ledger didn’t so much give a performance as he disappeared completely into the role; I know I’m not the first to suggest this, but he’ll likely get at least an Oscar nod (if not the win) for Best Supporting Actor. Fucking flick’s nearly three hours long and only leaves you wanting more (in a great way). I can’t imagine anyone being disappointed by it. Nolan and crew have created something close to a masterpiece.

Caught $Þ@m

$Þ@m ¢@t©hÊ® has caught 20,997 $Þ@m for you since you first installed it.

You have no $Þ@m currently in the queue. Must be your lucky day.

Up until about two days ago there hadn’t been much for comments here at the 5th for the past couple weeks. Then before I deleted the $Þ@m queue I checked it quick and there were hundreds of comments in there. Now it looked like they were all junk, but there may have been a few legit ones. If your comments were not posted recently, that’s probably were they ended up.
Sorry.

Hope to hear more from you soon.

Thanks,

It’s coming soon, and here’s the trailer…

Justices of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled 5-2 Monday in favor of full, equal, and mandatory gay marriages for all citizens. The order nullifies all pre-existing heterosexual marriages and lays the groundwork for the 2.4 million compulsory same-sex marriages that will take place in the state by May 15.”As we are all aware, it’s simply not possible for gay marriage and heterosexual marriage to co-exist,” Massachusetts Chief Justice Margaret H. Marshall said. “Our ruling in November was just the first step toward creating an all-gay Massachusetts.”Marshall added: “Since the allowance of gay marriage undermines heterosexual unions, we decided to work a few steps ahead and strike down opposite-sex unions altogether.”

Marshall said the court’s action will put a swift end to the mounting debate.
