Because actual SCREWS are so boring?

Hard Time Out
Philippine police chased down an unfit thief on Tuesday after he ran out of breath and asked his pursuers for a "time out".
Buenceso said the man and an accomplice broke into a house in the Philippine capital and stole two expensive mobile phones. Screams from the residence alerted a local police patrol, which gave chase.
The robber asked for a "time out" using hand signals.
It's refreshing to know that stupidity is universal.

The Squared Circle Gets Smaller
Although I'm not really what you'd call a huge fan of pro-wrestling, I do enjoy it from time to time. I might not be able to give you detailed histories of the wrestlers, but I'm familiar with a lot of their names and such, and know a little bit about the sport.
Even to someone with such a passing familiarity, I was shocked by the news that Chris Benoit was found dead today with his family. Tentative reports are saying that it appears to be a double-murder/suicide. Needless to say, anytime this type of thing happens to any family, famous or not, it's shocking.
I'm sure in the days ahead the story will come to light, but until then, my thoughts are with the family members who have lost so much today, and with the wrestling fans who lost a hero cold blooded killer.

Some Things You Never Forget
There are certain things in life you never really manage to let go of. They may slip out of conscious memory to be replaced by a thousand things, but in the dark recesses of the mind they wait until beckoned by an exact stimulus.
The giddy, excited rush I got as a kid when I saw Megatron on TV - and heard his distinctive voice - is one of them.
I didn't realize exactly how much of a Transformers geek I really am until I watched this clip, and heard Frank Welker slowly slip into character and literally send chills up my spine as once again, the unforgettable voice of Megatron speaks.

If Rumors Were Horses...
If these new rumors about Battlestar Galactica are true, it just got cooler by a factor of about a hundred. No, I'm not referring to the inferred lesbian relationship between Admiral Cain and Gina (since lesbian cyborg/human relationships don't really do anything for me.)
I'm talking about some retro 70s Cylon goodness.
"[R]umors were out that the original Cylon models from the 1970s ABC series would make a cameo appearance in the telemovie...they will likely get more screen time than the new versions first introduced in the 2003 miniseries.
They are going to have the same voice, the same sparkle, the same type of ships, everything," the source said. "
Finally, some non-Transformers news to geek-out to.
The WTF Files: Case # 34399812992
It's unavoidable. Every once in a while a news story comes along that grabs your attention with one piece of information, then sucker-punches you with another. Witness the following:
Hemmed in by six court and correction officers, Richard Glawson, his jaw set, pleaded not guilty yesterday to new charges that include the threatened slaughter of a jury.
“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I’ll kill all of you if you find me guilty of any one charge, and that goes for your family, too,” the 46-year-old hissed in court last month, according to prosecutors.
That was the 'hook'. Here comes the knockout punch:
He is further charged with using restraints to break a window in the court cell where he made mosaic art out of two bologna and cheese sandwiches.
Yep.
