I’ve updated my About page.

I think I’ve mentioned Star Wars Uncut before (probably in an old POTW). It’s the sort of thing that is a frickin awesome idea but I wonder how watchable it would actually be as a whole. Either way the trailer’s pretty damn cool – loving the claymation ‘Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi’ scene.

…and the Autumn moon is bright
Given my love of all things lycanthropic I’ve been unusually unfussed by The Wolfman (Trailer 1), but with Hallowe’en looming I’m getting a little bit twitchy for some werewolf action. Which leaves me a little confused as to why it’s not being released until February next year..
I guess I’ll have to go and catch up on my Saws (though given that they already made his face into a mask and his hand into a glove I’m a little worried as to which of Jigsaw’s bodyparts they’ll be using for the next poster).

Zombie Survival Guide
This makes me want to punch a zombie in the face.
It also throws up the conundrum: Buy the L4D/L4D2 bundle on Steam and play it on my PC, or buy a replacement XBox?

Last Thursdayism
I remember a riddle book I had when I was younger had a riddle that ran something like:
A man come across two human bodies frozen in ice and instantly knows he has found Adam & Eve. How?*
The Omphalos Hypothesis is the idea that God created the world with all its signs of age and as such any evidence for the (presumed) age of the Earth/Universe cannot be considered reliable. Which leads to the idea that although the original hypothesis proposes that in Genesis God created the trees with their rings even though they’d never grown etc., creation could technically have happened anytime:
Though Gosse’s original Omphalos hypothesis specifies a popular creation story, others have proposed that the idea does not preclude creation as recently as five minutes ago, including memories of times before this created in situ. This idea is sometimes called “Last Thursdayism” by its opponents, as in “the world might as well have been created last Thursday.” The concept is both unverifiable and unfalsifiable through any conceivable scientific method…
Which if you believe such things means that I may never have written this post, I was just created with the memory of doing it. Similarly you may never have read this post, you were just created with the memory of it…
*The bodies didn’t have navels – as neither Adam nor Eve were carried in a uterus they wouldn’t have had umbilical cords, though in art Adam & Eve are generally depicted with navels as apparently it looks a bit weird otherwise.
