Fire Eater: 30th Anniversary Pac-Man Zippos.

Let's face it, Pac-Man and fire go together like virtually anything else and fire: perfectly. And even if you gave up the rock years ago, there's still other stuff to light to light, am I right? Of course I am. Enter these 30th anniversary Pac-Man lighters. Available in three different styles, they'll be available this November for an undisclosed sum of amount. So start saving. In the meantime, start your fires the old fashioned way: by making napalm out of gasoline and Styrofoam AND LIGHTING IT WITH A BULLET. I was a Boyscout, I learned things.

LOST Cake To Celebrate 100th Episode.

This LOST cake was made for the cast and crew of the show by Charm City Cakes (of Ace of Cakes fame) to celebrate the series' 100th episode, which airs tonight.

It has been more than four years since that fateful airliner, Oceanic Flight 815, crashed onto an Island on September 22nd, 2004. After 99 episodes full of ominous mythology, startling discoveries, shocking cliffhangers, buried secrets, and stunning character development - we have reached the 100 episode milestone.
Nice -- 100 episodes and we still don't know jackshit. Or do we? Rearrange the letters in 'black smoke' and what do you get? Exactly, fondant. BOOM, mystery solved.

Bigger picture HERE.

Thanks to Chris and Matt, who once Bermuda Triangled with a special magnetic field and then next thing you know babies, black smoke, mysterious civilization, time travel and a whole bunch of other boom-shacka-lacka.

The Compact Disc Turned 30 Yesterday.

That's right, March 8th marked the "historic demonstration of the first CD prototype codenamed 'Pinkeltje' on March 8th, 1979." Well congratulations, compact disc, I almost forgot you were still here.

While many would argue that the CD is on its way out in favor of smaller, highly portable MP3 files, the disc has definitely left a lasting mark on the industry. To date, over 3.5 billion audio CD players have been sold alongside 240 billion discs.

Damn -- that's a lot of discs! That's almost a quarter of a trillion dollars. And a trillion dollars, my friends, is how much money I have in the bank. It barely fits! Just sayin', bling bling, money ain't a thing. I'm talking skating rink ice. Ladies?

Kate McCann escreve mensagem para missa que assinalou desaparecimento de Maddie.

Paradeiro da criança inglesa desconhecido há um ano.

Uma mensagem de agradecimento escrita pela mãe de Madeleine e assinada por toda a família McCann marcou a missa celebrada hoje na Igreja da Luz, que assinalou o primeiro aniversário do desaparecimento da menina inglesa.

Durante a cerimónia, Patrícia Cameron, tia de Maddie, leu comovida uma mensagem assinada por Kate, Gery, os gémeos Sean e Amélia e Maddie. A mensagem expressou o agradecimento "pelo apoio e calor humano" que os McCann afirmam ter sentido dos habitantes da Praia da Luz que, dizem, "ajudou a confortar a família".

"A contínua manifestação da vossa fé em Maddie é tão reconfortante e ultrapassa em tanto as nossas expectativas que nos vêm as lágrimas aos olhos", dizia a mensagem escrita por Kate.

A missa realizada às 18h30 na capela da Praia da Luz celebrada em Português e Inglês culminou com o lançamento de balões em homenagem à menina que desapareceu faz hoje exactamente um ano.

Antes do lançamento dos balões foi proferida uma oração dominada pela esperança de que Maddie regresse a casa.

Durante a missa foram ainda projectadas imagens de Maddie e da família e um dos membros da família McCann - que hoje estiveram no Algarve - acendeu velas.

No final da missa, que durou cerca de uma hora, os familiares da menina escusaram-se a falar aos jornalistas.
