TAMAGOTCHI
Leelee's first attempt at parenting failed when she lost the Tamagotchi I gave her about a week ago. We knew she lost Mimi (what she named the thing) somewhere in our room, and what's funny is we knew this because we could hear its faint beeps for help every once in a while. And despite some time spent rummaging through our stuff, it still wouldn't turn up. It was finally Leelee who found it, three days later, in her hair clips box, but by then Mimi was already dead and only had a pixel image of a Tamagotchi angel floating on its screen. Better luck next time, Lee.

FIGHT CLUB II
Edward Norton is the new Incredible Hulk. Tyler Durden's now big, green and mean. This should be interesting. Louis Leterrier (The Transporter) is directing.

SUPERHERO PHYSICS
From an article in MIT news:
When the Green Goblin kidnapped Spiderman's girlfriend, Gwen Stacey, and pushed her from the George Washington Bridge to her death, the debate raged in comic book circles for years: Was it the fall that killed her or Spidey's attempt to save her by catching her in webbing mid-fall, causing her neck to snap?
If Gwen has a mass of 50 kilograms, falls 300 feet and acquires a velocity of 95 mph, there would be 10g of force on her body, which she could potentially survive. But stopping short against all that force in half a second would certainly break her neck, as the Green Goblin declared in a later issue after Kakalios was widely quoted making the same calculation. "If I can teach a homicidal maniac like the Green Goblin about forces and motion, I'm making a difference," he said.
