Comet ISON Is More Weird Than Disappointing

No, you can't really see it as brightly as everyone thought (not yet - but wait until perihelion) but it has some very unusual characteristics. Isn't it obvious? We're all doomed! Where's Derek Wildstar when you need him?

Desslok Has Already Taken Over

Don't worry about planet bombs anymore! Fortunately Desslok seems to have stopped his conquest with Aichi prefecture, Japan:

That's the governor of Aichi on the right. And here I thought U.S. politics was embarrassing.

Tell you what, the day California governor Jerry Brown shows up at a press conference dressed like Darth Vader, I'm out of here. At least we've never had a governor who looked like the Terminator.

Come to think of it Schwarzenegger's first act in office was to issue an all-points-bulletin for a Sarah Conner...never really understand what that was all about.

I think this guy was a better Desslok.

I Am A Recognized Authority(tm) on Star Blazers/Yamato

Reader Matt K. notes that when he was recently searching for a picture of Derek Wildstar aka Kodai (if you believe the nonsense that Star Blazers was originally in Japanese), he ran across my most recent Star Blazers/Yamato post. Turns out it was featured prominently in the Google search results. It's good to know that my geek cred is getting recognized by the machines before they become fully self-aware.
