What Year Is It? Who's The President? Aaaaarrrgghhh!!

Great stuff from the world of Sci-Fi/Realty crossovers this week (via FARK).

Firstly, one more step to turning the US military into Stormtroopers.




All they have to do now is teach them how not to shoot straight.

In other news the NYPD have said they will be purchasing 2006 Dodge Chargers for their patrol cars. For those of you reading from Europe this is a 2006 Dodge Charger



Apparently they were after the Interceptor from Mad Max, but it was only available in black.

Seven Things That Get Played A Lot By Me Lately

I Was Only Drinking For The Vitamins Occifer

Via Matthew Turner this classic from the 1941 edition of Armchair Scientist.

"Alcohol aids Night Drivers

Motorist readers of Armchair Science will be interested in the findings of researchers of drinking alcohol before driving. It is claimed that a cocktail or other alcoholic drink improves a drivers ability to see in the dark. This is due to the effect of alcohol on Vitamin A in the body."

If you decide to use this technique just remember to carry a copy of Armchair Scientist in your glove compartment in case you need back up when arguing your case with the law.

I'd say they were the best thing since sliced bread, but they're better than sliced bread.
