This is a must-watch for any baseball fan. America's pastime gets full "The Wizard of Oz" treatment here for a rare look at old-timey baseball bursting with color. This footage of the 1939 Fall Classic between the New York Yankees and the Cincinnati Reds starts with the conclusion of Game 1, and features a home run from Game 2 and sweeping shots of the original Yankee Stadium decked out in red, white and blue bunting. This is a totally different brand of baseball than what we're accustomed to these days as fans, dressed up in their Sunday finest, can just wander aimlessly onto the field once the final out is secured. If you don't get goosebumps watching this, you're not American. (Or maybe you're just a Red Sox fan.)

The Kings Are One Win Away From the Stanley Cup

So, the Kings blanked the Devils, 4-0, in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final last night, and they're now just one win away from sweeping New Jersey and capturing the franchise's first Stanley Cup. Even in a league with so much parity among the playoff teams, it's incredible that an eight seed could be one win away from a championship. And the way the Kings have steamrolled their way through these playoffs has been downright historic: This is the fourth-straight series in which they've taken a 3-0 lead, and if they win Game 4 on Wednesday night, they'd match the run of 1988 Oilers, who set the modern record by going 16-2 en route to their fourth Cup in five years.

How dominant have the Kings been? They've still played three fewer games than the Rangers, who, we'll remind you, were eliminated in the Conference Finals. Games 1 and 2 of this Final were hardly blowouts - both of those games ended in overtime, in fact - but last night was the kind of statement game that gives you the impression that it didn't much matter which team the Eastern Conference sent to the Final. The Kings have just been that good.

And, of course, much of the credit goes to Jonathan Quick, the inevitable Conn Smythe winner (sorry, Anze), who, last night, recorded his third shutout of the playoffs. He lowered his postseason goals against average to a ridiculous 1.36 last night, and his .950 save percentage is the best of any goalie with more than three games played in these playoffs. Those are some historically good numbers. Puck Daddy has compiled Quick's five best saves of the night, and we'll note that the majority of those came when the outcome of the game was still in doubt. Quick wasn't the only reason Los Angeles won last night - that game might have looked different if the New Jersey power play could have done anything -but he's the biggest reason they are where they are right now.

Having said all of that, the Kings still need one more victory to close this series out, and as the old saying goes, the hardest game to win is the last one. And if we've learned anything about the Devils in these playoffs, it's that they're a resilient team. Maybe Ilya Kovalchuk, who insists that his back is fine, will start producing. But the way Quick and his teammates are playing, the Kings' coronation seems almost inevitable, doesn't it?

Don't Want Kids? Do This!

In a few years, you may be the one on "the pill."

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have identified a gene responsible for an essentialphase of sperm development. The discovery is an early but very important step toward the creation of a male contraceptive similar to the daily pill you're always worrying your wife or girlfriend forgot to take. (How does the pill affect her sex drive? Find out in 39 Things Women Wish You Knew.)

The gene, which scientists are calling "Katnal1," is responsible for a late stage of sperm maturation. What does that mean? If the Katnal1 genetic pathway is disrupted, your gun is locked and loaded but you'll shoot blanks.
As of today, the researchers have shown that injecting a virus designed to disrupt the Katnal1 pathway effectively renders mice infertile but not impotent, explains study author Lee Smith, Ph.D., a genetic endocrinologist at U. of Edinburgh. Human studies are next in line, he says. (Conduct your own human experiment tonight by trying one of these New Sex Positions!)

The ultimate goal is to develop a drug that will temporarily and reversibly disrupt Katnal1's genetic pathway--a male birth control. However, Smith says that sort of contraceptive is likely 5 to 10 years away. The discovery may also prove helpful in identifying new therapies for men suffering from infertility related to the Katnal1 gene, he adds.

Until then, your best bet: Wrap it up. Here are our picks for the 4 Best-Feeling Condoms.

The 10 Biggest Graduation Pranks

    1 of 10

    Once you're done with high school, you need to go out in a blaze of glory. The condition known as senioritis manifests itself in a number of forms, but the most epic is the senior prank. Around graduation time, seniors bust out all kinds of daring deeds in order to get a rise out of the administration. Here are ten amazing examples of glorious graduation pranks.

    Flagpole Splitter (2009)

    What truly distinguishes a legendary graduation prank from a run-of-the-mill one is ingenuity. Doing something nobody has ever done before is a great way to make the prankster hall of fame. Students at Fruita Monument High School in Colorado took the old-fashioned "car in wrong place" stunt and kicked it up a notch by splitting a vehicle in half lengthwise and then welding it back together around the school's flagpole.

    Operation Clean the Floor (2010)

    At South Carolina's Boiling Springs High, the student body was getting a little tired of the lack of summer fun in the final weeks of school. So an enterprising group of about a dozen students cordoned off one of the building's hallways, rolled out a gigantic length of tarp, hooked up some hoses and made the entire place into a gargantuan Slip 'N Slide. Needless to say, the resultant property damage got them into some trouble, but we bet it was worth it.

    Hole-y Crap  (2009)

    Mainland Regional High School in Linnwood, New Jersey is pretty used to civil disobedience during graduation season, with several ceremonies interrupted because students used the microphone time to talk smack about the school. But in 2009 some pranksters went above and beyond with a sneaky joke that could have seriously injured people. The night before the ceremony, a group of students went out to the football field where the graduating seniors were supposed to stand and dug 25 holes, filling them up with loose sod. Thankfully, custodians discovered the Vietnam-style booby traps before anybody broke a leg.

    Permission to Fornicate (2006)

    Some of the best graduation pranks come when the students decide to take the administration in their own hands.

    See the Video Here:

    In 2006, a group of seniors at San Dieguito Academy in Encinitas, California stole school letterhead and forged letters to the entire class's parents informing them that, to comply with a new (and fictional) California state law, all students will be provided with condoms free of charge at prom. They forged the signature of the principal and the director of student activities at the bottom, making for a very believable and fantastic prank.

    No Parking (1997)

    One of the most legendary pranks of all time came at Connecticut's Brookfield East High School back in 1997. Brookfield East has been a hotbed for pranks for decades, with students pulling all kinds of shenanigans, but when seniors managed to get ahold of a Pontiac 6000 and crane it up over the school's metal entryway, things got taken to a whole new level of epic. Since then, Brookfield has seen plenty of pretenders try to beat that feat, but none have pulled it off.

    Video Nasty (2012)

    Let's venture outside of the U.S. for another sexually-themed graduation prank from Hellerup, Denmark. When the assembled class of about 450 high school students got together in the gymnasium for their graduation ceremony, they expected to watch a short video about life at the school. Shockingly for them, some enterprising prankster had hijacked the feed and spliced in a sexually explicit video that featured a male student and an older woman. The video, which was obviously filmed with a hidden camera, scandalized the attendees. The administration claims to know who did it, but they're eluding justice so far.

    Post-It Party (2012)

    One of the most interesting things about senior pranks is how overblown the reaction to it can be, and this one's on the list for exactly that reason. A group of seniors at Cascade High School in Clayton, Indiana pulled an artistic prank when they covered the windows and walls with cool Post-It note patterns overnight. The administration suspended the six perpetrators and actually fired a custodian who knew about the prank and thought that the kids had been given permission to do it. What a bunch of killjoys!

    Welcome to Assville (2008)

    Sometimes a senior prank has to venture off-campus to really be epic. For students in Ashville, Ohio, the natural target for their 2008 senior prank was the town's water tower, which is visible for miles in every direction. With just a simple sheet of posterboard and some paint, they replaced the "H" with a capital "S," and everybody in town woke up in Assville. The prank actually caused some serious trouble for the perpetrators, who were charged under Homeland Security violations.

    Lockdown (2003)

    Releasing farm animals into the halls of your school is a time-honored graduation prank, but the seniors at North Harford High School in rural Maryland may have taken things a little too far. Not only did they stock the school with a veritable barnyard of creatures including cows, pigs and horses, but they also glued pennies over all of the door locks and raised a flag reading "LOCKDOWN" over the school. The perpetrators were never caught, making this one of the most legendary pranks ever.

    Double Prank (2008)

    This is a great example of a senior prank that got thwarted by some even smarter pranksters. The 2008 graduating class at Nyack High School in upstate New York got permission from the administration to smuggle all of the school's desks out on the football field and spell out "2008" with them. But what they weren't counting on was a second group of pranksters who showed up after the first group left and re-organized them into the shape of a giant penis. Well done.

10 Things in Your Car That Were Developed from Racing Technology

    10. THE GAS IN YOUR TANK

    Bought gasoline or a Chevrolet lately? You've almost certainly come across all sorts of decals talking about "flex fuel" or "E85" or maybe even a fanciful picture of a giant ear of corn with a gas pump nozzle on it. Welcome to the boring but economically significant world of biofuels, where the technology developed by generations of corn-likker moonshiners has been harnessed to make your gasoline slightly cheaper (and your mileage slightly worse). Economists, scientists, and botanists have been arguing the pros and cons of plant-based alcohol-related fuel additives and substitutes since the oil crises of the Seventies, but at least one group of professionals had already decided that biofuel was the future: the United States Auto Club and their open-wheel racing league, which at the time happened to feature as its main event a 500-lap race at an oval track on the outskirts of Indianapolis.

    Indy cars (as they were popularly and eventually officially referred to) were already experimenting with methanol biofuel as an additive to or a complete replacement for gasoline before the 500 of 1964, where a fiery seven-car crash killed two drivers of gas-fueled cars, while the drivers of methanol cars (which still burned, but with far less intensity and without producing the plume of black smoke that obscured the track and caused even more wrecks) escaped unscathed. After that, USAC/Indy cars were basically required to use methanol for safety reasons, but many drivers found that the higher octane level and energy content of methanol fuel translated to more torque, more horsepower, and cheaper gas bills, and when major governments were looking for a fuel source that wasn't controlled by crazy people with lots of guns (e.g. Iranians or Texans) the experience of race drivers lead them to consider biofuels.

    9. THE TRACTION CONTROL THAT YOU CAN'T TURN OFF

    Traction control! If you're a totally rad dude, you know that traction control is strictly for wusses and nerds. And if you have traction control turned on you can't do totally sweet burnouts and drifts and donuts and such. If on the other hand you know anything at all about physics or engineering or cars built in the last twenty years, you know that nine times out of ten traction control allows the car to deliver the right amount of power to the driven wheels and generally prevents you from snaking (for front-wheel-drive cars) or fishtailing (for rear-wheel-drive cars) off the road into a tree. There are a handful of situations where traction control is more trouble than its worth, but all of those situations involve elaborate bank heists or high-stakes Tokyo street races. Face the facts: those are not the sort of things you'll encounter when you're driving to Target to buy a new torchiere lamp.

    If you're willing to face even more facts, you might want to consider the genesis of traction control: the limited-slip differential, or LSD to the with-it hepcats of 1935 when the technology was first developed. A collaboration between Nazi mad scientist Ferdinand Porsche (yes, that Porsche) and low-profile but well-regarded German drivetrain specialists ZF resulted in a device that efficiently channeled the ferocious power of Nazi-sponsored Auto Union Grand Prix racecars into whichever wheel needed it the most, allowing the propaganda machines to dominate even the twistiest racetracks. This was the first time that anyone had bothered to think about the distribution or control of the power being spun out by the engine, and that idea was the seed of any number of engineering solutions to improve handling and acceleration in all sorts of civilian cars.

    8. THE TRANSMISSION THAT YOU DON'T NEED AN ENGINEERING DEGREE TO SHIFT

    Remember the last time you had to change gears and you had to pop the clutch and watch the tachometer to make sure that the next gear will be spinning at a comparable speed before shifting up or down and declutching in such a way that the two gears will engage properly without causing each other grievous and expensive damage? You don't? Then write up a polite thank-you letter to the estate of Ferdinand Porsche, Esteemed Nazi Mad Scientist, who designed and produced the VW Beetle, the Tiger heavy tank, and the zippy little Porsche 356 sports car and its incredibly significant and influential "synchromesh" transmission.

    As mentioned earlier, Ferdinand was hugely influential in the pre-war German motorsports industry, but he also played a huge part in the development of the civilian "KDF-Wagen," a proto-Beetle that was supposed to mobilize poor German workers but ended up being turned into the Axis equivalent of the Jeep. That experience was still enough to let him start a company in 1948 named after himself (you may have heard of it) whose first product was the Porsche 356, a cheap but fun rear-engine sports car that looked suspiciously like a stretched-out version of his KDFW/Beetle prototype but included a subtle but profound innovation: a manual transmission with a unique conical clutch that made it possible for a driver to shift gears without doing a math problem in his head at 80 MPH. With this user-friendly adaptation, Porsche's 356 became a fixture of European and American racetracks for decades, either as a near-stock street-legal toy of amateur hobbyists or as a low-cost high-spec workhorse for professional racing teams.

    7. THE VTEC THAT JUST KICKED IN, YO

    Honda's proprietary Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (shortened to VTEC rather than VVTLEC) is so well-known that it's practically the company's trademark. It's been copied by various manufacturers under a number of different and much less catchy names like Mitsubishi's MiVEC or BMW's VANOS, but the original still has enough name recognition that it's frequently recognizable even among the many people who have no idea of what it actually does.

    Without going into a lot of head-scratching details about cam lobes and compression levels and whatnot, you can just think of VTEC and similar systems as a way of making an engine designed to work best at low RPMs run just like an engine designed to work best at high RPMs by controlling the amount of oxygen introduced to each cylinder. While now it's hard to imagine a Honda car without VTEC badges on the engine, the technology was initially developed for and transferred from one of the company's CBR400 sport bikes. The technology was matured and developed with installation in similarly high-performance race-stripped Integras until finally being introduced to civilian models in 1989.

    6. THE BRAKES YOU CAN JUST STEP ON INSTEAD OF PUMPING

    Anti-lock brakes are so popular nowadays it's fairly difficult to buy a car without them, but as little as ten years ago a standard part of driver's ed courses was still how to stop a skidding car in slippery conditions without them-instead of just standing on the pedal in panic, you were supposed to pump it as fast as you could to prevent the wheels from locking up entirely. Unfortunately, if you then ended up in a car with ABS (like most were even back then) you had to remember to do the exact opposite in a skid, since modern ABS systems were able to "pump" the brakes much faster and more intelligently than your dumb human foot. I have no idea what people are being taught in driver's ed nowadays, but given that a friend of mine told me that they weren't even bothering to teach people how to parallel park anymore I wouldn't be surprised if students were just told to aim for the softest-looking tree.

    At any rate, while anti-lock braking was originally developed for aircraft landing gear, it was developed for cars by tinkerer and tractor manufacturer Harry Ferguson and his revolutionary 4WD Formula One car, the Ferguson P99. Subsequent tests on racing motorcycles and the high-performance sports car the Jensen FF confirmed the utility and reliability of the early ABS systems, and beginning in the early Seventies this race-proven braking technology began being offered as a high-level option for street cars.

    5. THE ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE OPTION YOU WISH YOU BOUGHT WHEN IT SNOWS OUT

    The idea of all four wheels of a car receiving power in various ratios (e.g. 70% to the back wheels and 30%) used to be strictly for military, agricultural, or other specialist uses, none of which were particularly fast or sporty. Enter the Ferguson P99 mentioned in the last item, which when paired with a Coventry Climax engine and legendary driver Stirling Moss became the first (and last) AWD car to win a Formula 1 race.

    While your hippie aunt's Legacy station wagon may not look much like Ferguson's stripped-down monocoque racer, the Subaru AWD system (and virtually every other sport-oriented AWD system in any other car) is essentially descended from Ferguson's original blueprints, especially when it comes to distributing power intelligently among the various wheels. AWD eventually came to be mandatory for rally racing, hill-climbing, and getting to work in a hurry when its raining really hard.

    4. THE FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM THAT SAVES YOU A BUNDLE ON GAS

    While today nearly every car on the road is front-engine, front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive is essentially just for sports or luxury cars, for the first 50 years of the automobile's life the situation was exactly the opposite. Front-wheel drive race cars like the Alvis 12/50 and the Miller 122 used the reduced weight from the deletion of the long, heavy driveshaft to get more speed and fuel efficiency than other racers with engines of the same size, and luxury cars like the Cord 812 used the same principles to zip the Depression-era 1% from penthouse to speakeasy in high style. Today, the weight and space savings of a front-wheel drive system allow small passenger cars to save gas and maximize interior comfort.

    3. THE WAY YOUR PRIUS/INSIGHT/VOLT IS SHAPED

    If you own a hybrid car, you probably haven't spent too much time wondering about what it has in common with a high-performance Ferrari. (You've probably spent all your time thinking about trees or bunnies, hippie.) In fact, high-speed race cars and high-efficiency hybrid cars both have the same ultimate goal of being as aerodynamically efficient as possible without being too difficult to see out of, fit in, or park without being laughed at, so both types of car make good use of the aerodynamic theories of scientist and motorcycle racer Wunibald Kamm.

    In the late 30s, where aerodynamics were coming into their own as a science and being applied intelligently to both cars and airplanes, Kamm and his fellow researchers discovered that a car shape with a high, graceful roof that was suddenly cut at a flat angle, it achieved maximum aerodynamic efficiency with the minimum amount of car. Although the breakthrough was first applied to a BMW Mille Miglia coupe, it became famous in the Sixties with the uniquely modified Ferrari 250 GT Drogo, popularly known as the "bread van" for its long tall back section but notably faster than the standard 250 GTO. Other racers like the Ford GT40 and civilian supercars like the De Tomaso Pantera later followed with similarly high, long tails, and by now the Kammback/Kamm-tail design is so integral to modern car aerodynamics that it's difficult to even make out the basic shape under all the refinements.
  • 9 of 10

    2. THE WAY YOUR PRIUS/INSIGHT/VOLT IS POWERED

    A number of the Kammback race cars in the earlier article were used to participate in endurance races like the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans, where car designers and drivers had to juggle the demands of speed and acceleration with maximum fuel efficiency. It should come as no surprise, then, that hybrid technology has made an appearance in enduro competitions. It may be at least a little bit of surprise when I tell you that this appearance was in 1998 in American boutique sports car manufacturer Panoz' GTR-Q9 Esperante, less than a year after the Prius was first released into the Japanese market.

    While it was eventually determined that the Q9's battery pack was simply too heavy to allow the car to be competitive, racing leagues of all kinds are still experimenting with hybrid technology to boost power or efficiency or both. Formula One's KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) policy allows teams to mount a battery or flywheel-based system on their car to save up energy normally wasted in breaking so that it can be applied for an extra boost of torque at the push of a button.

    Next: 10 Cars That Changed the World

    1. THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, FOR REAL

    For the Indianapolis 500 of 1911, Marmon Motor Car Company engineer and driver Ray Harroun had a game-changing innovation for his Marmon Wasp: an engine that was reliable and powerful enough to win races without literally shaking itself to pieces. Up until then, it was necessary for race cars to carry two people: one to drive the car and another to reach in with a wrench and tighten whatever bolts were in danger of popping out. These mechanics also served a valuable function as lookout, as drivers were going much too fast to be able to look behind them and see if someone was coming up behind them. In making the mechanic unnecessary, Harroun had essentially shaved a good 100-120 pounds of weight off the car, leading to a corresponding increase in performance.

    After consulting the rulebooks, the opposing drivers and their redundant mechanics realized there wasn't technically anything that said you were required to haul along a second driver. There was one valid objection they could come up with, though-if you don't have a mechanic riding shotgun, how are you going to know if someone's coming up from behind? It's unsafe! Harroun thought about this for a moment, went back to the Wasp's maintenance shed, tinkered for five minutes, and came out with a center rear mirror positioned right about where it is today.

Annie Leibovitz Teams With Macallan For Exclusive Bottles

A man's home is his castle, incomplete without a wet bar stocked with all the potables necessary to satiate a king and his court. And king among spirits is single-malt Scotch whisky, the top-shelf showpiece by which his bar is judged. It's a work of craftsmanship and art that frequently commands a price that far exceeds the sum of its malt.

Keep that in mind before you scoff at the $2,750 per bottle asking price of The Macallan's soon-to-be-released very-limited-production run of single-cask single malts dubbed the Masters of Photography: Annie Leibovitz Edition. There will be 1,000 bottles total available of four different single-cask Macallan vintage Scotches, each adorned with an Annie Leibovitz photograph on the label and accompanied by a print signed by the photographer.

The star subject of the famed Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair portraitist's series is Scottish actor Kevin McKidd. You'll recognize him from the delightful cult sci-fi/horror flick Dog Soldiers and the well-sexed HBO series Rome; your lady friends will recognize him from Grey's Anatomy. Previous installments of The Macallan photography series have featured Scottish Polaroid specialist Rankin ($1,300 per bottle) and Scottish nude photographer Albert Watson ($1,000 to $16,000 each). To have a chance at purchasing one of the Leibovitz rarities (justify the price by chalking it up to supporting a starving artist), you'll have to preregister at themastersofphotography.com.

"The Gallery" comes from Sherry Butt cask No. 12,251. Made in 1989, it's perfumed with burnished oak accented with orange and dates. The fruit and raisin flavors border on sweet, but the finish stays dry.



"The Bar" was made in 1991 and resided in Sherry Oak Puncheon cask No. 7,023 until it was bottled. Nutmeg and clove come to mind on the nose, with oaky cinnamon rounding out the smooth finish.



By far the lightest of the four special-edition Macallans, "The Skyline" was made in 1996 and aged in American Oak cask No. 10,019. The nose offers fresh-cut wood, lemon and vanilla aromas, with mouthcoating oak, cinnamon and toffee on the palate.



"The Library" is the most exclusive of the foursome, with just 145 bottles made from Sherry Oak Hoghead cask No. 14,007. Made in 1995, it offers aromas of raisin, citrus and oak with toasted, dried fruits on the palate.

So the Miami Heat may be choking away yet another playoff series that they should win easily, but that doesn't matter to this young fan. As LeBron James and the other disappointed Heatles slowly trudge off the court and into the locker room, one young boy encourages them to keep their heads up by screaming, "Good job! Great effort!" Hopefully those friendly encouragements will be enough to keep LBJ and the Heat happy through another off-season without a championship.

Max Payne 3: The 8-Bit Version

  • 1 of 6

    We take Max Payne 3, one of the biggest video game releases of 2012, back in time to see what it would look like if it was released back when all games were 8-bit versions.

  • 2 of 6

    With its hardboiled noir storyline and gratuitious ultra-violence, it is unlikely Max Payne 3 could have made it onto an 8-bit console. But if it did, here's our version of what it might have looked like.

  • 3 of 6

    Rooftop Battle

    These Comando Sombra punks kidnapped Fabiana, and Max is out for some up-close revenge while his wingman, Raul Passos flies the Huey overhead. You never get a great look at them in the game, but the letters on the building spell out Boitatá, which is a fiery snake dragon from Brazilian folklore.

  • 4 of 6

    Machine Gun Boss

    "Machine Gun Boss" appears in Chapter 6. In the 8-Bit version, Max can use crates to dodge the hail of bullets, his 360/PS3/PC counterpart isn't so lucky. Max Payne is not blessed with the extraordinary jumping powers of his 8-bit predecessors.

  • 5 of 6

    Sao Paolo Strip Club

    Max isn't looking for a fight, but these locals have pushed him to the edge. With no booze to dampen his rage, Max blows up when he gets bullied one time too many. The only thing louder than his guns is his ridiculous tropical shirt.

    Next: The Rarest Diablo III Loot

    Game Over

    Max Payne is one of the few characters that actually knows he's in a video game. In Max Payne 3 he doesn't have time to break the fourth wall (he's too busy killing), but the superb comic book sequences frame the action and create impromptu masterpieces of gore that take some of the bite out of an excruciating death.

The Heat Are One Loss Away From Doing It Again

In full-on fire-and-brimstone mode this morning, Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski pronounces that after the Heat's their stunning 94-90 Game 5 loss to the Celtics last night, we are close to seeing "a modern basketball superpower dismantled before everyone's eyes." We're not sure this is true, though. Even if the Heat lose tomorrow night and the Celtics - the Celtics! The team most were calling to be torn down at the trading deadline; the team the Knicks were knocking around late in the year - go to the NBA Finals, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh will still have four more chances at a title. (Unless they all opt out two years from now, and boy, wouldn't that be something?)

If Miami loses, we suspect Erik Spoestra will be fired and a new coach will come in, but Miami will still have the best record in the Eastern Conference in 2012-13, and we'll all go through this same drama a year from now. Not that it doesn't remain delicious fun to watch this continue to happen, even if it requires watching Kevin Garnett go all wack-a-doodle again to make it happen. There are many NBA fans whose primary rooting interest this season - and last season and next season - is to make sure the Miami Heat don't win the title. They're one game away from getting their wish.

Man Arrested For Driving Drunk...On A Stolen Wheelchair

If you crave the open air out on the road and a convertible just isn't cutting it anymore, you should try a wheelchair. Just make sure it's your wheelchair, otherwise you could find yourself in some trouble.

Police in Utica, MI were called to a senior living complex on May 27, where Raymond Kulma had apparently gotten into a face-off with James Konkel, a resident of the complex. Authorities showed up to question the two men, but only found one of them at the scene. That's because Kulma had fled the premises in a motorized wheelchair that he stole from Konkel.

Police officers took off in lukewarm pursuit and the low-speed chase ended with a sobriety test. Kulma failed his test with flying colors, blowing three times the legal limit, earning a free night in prison and a warrant for his arrest once he was released.

This was Kulma's seventh drunk driving offense and he hasn't had a license since 1993. He will be charged as though he was operating a car and currently has 10 days to turn himself in. Here's hoping he surrenders to authorities and does not try to make a run for it on a Segway. See the video below:

New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter is known to have dated some of the hottest women in the world (there are numerous lists on the Internet ranking some of his most attractive ex's.) Luckily for all of us, there's JeterMatch.com, the "official" dating website that places all those lonely Derek Jeter ex girlfriends with new mates (and believe us, there are a lot of them.)

As the website says, "Derek Jeter may be a shortstop, but you can still have his seconds." You may be thinking to yourself, "But I'm not as good looking as Derek Jeter." Well, no worries! Each membership comes with a free Derek Jeter mask.

And while this dating service isn't real (it was created by comedian Owen Weber), we think it should be.

Think this is crazy? Check out these photos:

10 Facts You Probably Didn't Know About "Alien"

June 6, 2012, 7:55 am

  • 1 of 11

    With "Prometheus," 20th Century Fox's "Alien" prequel right around the corner (opening Friday, June 8th), what better time to take a look back at the film that started it all? Although the director of both films, Ridley Scott, has only hinted that the two share some similar DNA, he has also been quoted as saying that "fans of the original 'Alien' will notice some things, especially toward the end of 'Prometheus'." With that in mind, here are 10 interesting stories about the 1979 classic that would go on to spawn one of the most recognizable sci-fi franchises of all time.

  • igp-scifi.com
    2 of 11

    No. 10 - The "Alien" franchise would most likely not even exist without the success of "Star Wars."

    "Alien" was written, but not greenlit, until "Star Wars: A New Hope" hit the scene and blew up at the box office. And seeing as how "Alien" was the only other sci-fi script 20th Century Fox had in the can at the time, it was a no-brainer. Coincidentally, "Alien" was initially titled "Star Beast". We're glad they opted for the name change.

  • 3 of 11

    No. 9 - The film's iconic opening titles were originally supposed to spell out "Alien" with body parts like bones and flesh.

    However, this was deemed too gory, so Ridley Scott came up with the new, more suspenseful hieroglyphic style title card layout we see in the film today. Yes, in a film where a creature literally rips through a man's sternum to escape his body, the equivalent of doing a bloody rendition of the YMCA was apparently just too much for 1979 censors.

  • thelastmongoose.com
    4 of 11

    No. 8 - Two key roles in the movie were almost played by different actors.

    Due to scheduling conflicts, the role of Kane (aka the chestburster victim) was almost played by Jon Finch instead of John Hurt. But when Jon Finch got sick on the first day of shooting only to discover he had an extreme case of diabetes, it just so happened that John Hurt's other film had fallen through, leaving him available for the role.

    The lead role of Ripley came down to a choice between Meryl Streep, hot off her role in "The Deer Hunter," and Sigourney Weaver, a relative unknown. But as soon as Ridley Scott saw Weaver in person for the first time, he knew she was perfect. Ironically, Veronica Cartwright had also auditioned for the role of Ripley and thought she had the part until showing up for a costume test and being told she would actually be playing Lambert, the ship's navigator. A similar situation exists with "Prometheus," as Charlize Theron had to pass on the title role of Elizabeth Shaw for her lead role in "Mad Max: Fury Road." She will now play Meredith Vickers in "Prometheus," and Noomi Rapace will play Shaw. To Theron's credit, she said she'd "rather be a smaller character in a great film than the lead in a shitty movie" (Source: Entertainment Weekly).

  • 5 of 11

    No. 7 - The famous chestburster scene was shot in only one take with four cameras.

    Even more amazingly, only Tom Skerritt (Dallas) and obviously John Hurt had any clue what the scene would entail. The rest of the actors in the scene were left in the dark, not being told much at all before shooting began in order to get a more natural response. For instance, Veronica Cartwright knew she would be getting a little blood on her face, but judging from her reaction, this was clearly not what she'd imagined. However, in a film where the dialogue was developed largely through improvisation, this was all par for the course.

  • via Cats On Film
    6 of 11

    No. 6 - A German Shepherd was used to illicit hissing from Jones the cat.

    Speaking of natural responses, in order to get the proper reaction from Jones the cat when the alien is descending upon Harry Dean Stanton (Brett), a German Shepherd was used. A screen was placed between the cat and dog at first so they couldn't see each other, and then pulled at just the right time to make it appear Jones sees the alien. Turns out that a seven-foot tall man in a giant monster suit doesn't strike fear into housecats as much as their natural enemy.

  • 7 of 11

    No. 5 - The only known link between "Alien" and the "Prometheus" trailers is the "space jockey."

    In "Alien," the crew of the Nostromo discover a fossilized humanoid creature that is nicknamed the "space jockey." Not much is known of its origins, and according to Ridley Scott himself, "Something that had stayed with me ever since "Alien," was the mystery behind [the space jockey]." And out of that seed of mystery, seems to have been born "Prometheus." However, this was almost not so, as budget cuts nearly forced the famous scene to be cut from the original movie. However, Scott thought on his toes and used his own children in spacesuits as the actors in order to make the scale of the set seem bigger by comparison.

  • New World Pictures/MCA Records/Photofest
    8 of 11

    No. 4 - The blue laser lights seen in the alien egg chamber were borrowed from the band The Who.

    Roger Daltrey and the boys were testing the lasers for an upcoming show in a soundstage next door to the "Alien" set.

  • 9 of 11

    No. 3 - Early "Alien" scripts had Ripley as a male character.

    While screenwriters Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett initially wrote the characters of the story as asexual so that the parts could be played by either gender, early drafts of the screenplay eventually had the Ripley character as a man. But in the long run, that role would go to a very female Sigourney Weaver. And this was not the only time she has played a role originally written as male. It happened twice more, in fact, with her roles in "The TV Set" and "Vantage Point."

  • thehiveforum.com
    10 of 11

    No. 2 - In a deleted scene, the alien does a very non-scary crab walk.

    In a deleted scene where Lambert discovers that the alien is not only alive and well, but right behind her, the creature makes a rather peculiar approach in her direction. While the crab walk is a very effective core exercise, this is surely not the time or the place. It's difficult to say that this scene would have taken us completely out of the movie and ruined any sense of fear and dread we felt toward this hideous being, but it's even more difficult not to say it. Judge for yourself.

  • therpf.com
    11 of 11
    Next: 10 Must See War Movies

    No. 1 - Initially, the ending of "Alien" was just going to be Ripley escaping in the shuttle.

    Ridley Scott wasn't satisfied with that, however, and requested four more days from the studio to shoot a fourth act and a sort of surprise ending that he believed would "change the way film is made." And in a way, he was correct. Ever since, these unexpected, subsequent finales would be seen more and more, especially in the suspense/horror genre. Another rumored ending had the alien biting off Ripley's head and then speaking in her voice, delivering a message to Earth. Let's all thank our lucky "star beasts" that it didn't go down that way, as that would have denied us all the masterpiece that is "Aliens" and a franchise heroine that was just getting started.

Last weekend, Kanye West stopped performing during a live show in Paris to call out a fan who kept distracting him with a laser pointer. We have uncovered never-before-seen footage from the incident:


Kanye then went on a rant in front of 60,000 fans, "Don't f*** with the lasers back there. You see this guy here with the green laser? Don't f*** with anybody's show! It's not a f***ing game! We don't f*** around like that...you might get f***d up and kicked out, I don't want that s***. So chill the f*** out."

Afterwards, Kanye finished the remainder of the show, pooped in a litter box, then called it a night.

11 Infamous Secret Service Screw Ups

June 6, 2012, 11:20 am

  • YURI CORTEZ/AFP/Getty Images
    1 of 11

    The Secret Service conjures up images of Clint Eastwood in "In the Line of Fire." Clean cut, unsmiling men with conservative suits, earpieces and hidden weapons that flank the president wherever he goes. Men and women, as we've seen, who will take a bullet. See Ronald Reagan's assassination attempt as an agent moves toward the gunman, making himself a figurative meat shield. That's guts. That's brave. That might even be crazy.

    Created in 1865 by Abraham Lincoln to combat the deluge of counterfeit money, the Secret Service was given the mission of protecting presidents nearly 35 years later. (Interestingly, Lincoln was shot on April 14, 1865, the same day he signed into law the piece of legislation that created the Secret Service.)

    But even these imperial guards of democracy sometimes fall short, and we are all reminded that behind the idolatry and PR, they are merely human. The Uniformed Division's motto is "Worthy of Trust and Confidence." Not always.

    1. Pedestrians Beware

    In November 2009, two Secret Service armored vehicles hit a pedestrian, Larry Donnall Moore, in Temple Hills, Maryland. The vehicles were used to protect Vice President Joe Biden, but he was not traveling in the convoy at the time of the accident. The victim sustained multiple critical injuries and died after being taken to the hospital.

    2. Limo Limbo

    In May 2011, while visiting Dublin, Ireland, President Obama's limousine got stuck on a steep driveway while exiting the U.S. Embassy. Secret Service agents hid the car from public view while they freed the car's tires. The car was not the infamous "Beast," but a spare limo. Still, methinks terrorists around the world just found the vehicle's Achilles' heel.

    3. The Ultimate Party Crasher

    It sounds more like a blockbuster comedy, but in November 2009, Tareq and Michaele Salahi crashed the White House state dinner, and even shook hands with President Obama in a reception line. The Secret Service didn't even know they'd been had until Michaele posted photos of herself at the event on her Facebook page. An internal investigation revealed that Secret Service agents didn't follow protocol at a security checkpoint. Duh. More embarrassingly, a third party-crasher was later discovered, party promoter Carlos Allen.

    In its defense, the Secret Service processed more than 1.2 million visitors to the White House complex in 2008. Said Mark Sullivan, Secret Service Director, "Even with [those] successes, we need to be right 100 percent of the time."

    Amazingly, in May 2010, the Salahis tried to crash another White House dinner, this time in honor of Mexico's president. Thankfully, the Secret Service stopped Salahi's limo a few blocks from the White House.

    4. Men Are Men

    Perhaps the true reason Secret Service agents wear sunglasses is to hide the ogling they do to protectees. David Chaney, a Secret Service supervisor, wrote in 2009 on his Facebook page about his time protecting Sarah Palin in 2008, "I was really checking her out, if you know what I mean." Chaney was forced to resign amid the uproar. Said Palin about President Obama, "He better be wary...they may be checking out the First Lady instead of guarding her."

    5. "Colombiagate"

    As everyone knows by now, 11 Secret Service staff members were sent home from Cartagena, Colombia after one of the agents stiffed a local prostitute for her services the previous night. The scandal broke the day before President Obama was to arrive for the Summit of the Americas. Ronald Kessler, author of "In the President's Service," argues that the president is particularly unsafe now, because replacement agents who were hurried in to replace the Cartagena 11 haven't had time to acclimate to their new environment.

    6. They Might Shoot the President

    As detailed in his book "The Kennedy Detail: JFK's Secret Service Agents Break Their Silence," Gerald Blaine, a former Secret Service agent, was assigned to watch President Johnson's house in Washington, D.C.

    But this was no ordinary night. It was November 22, 1963, the night of Kennedy's assassination. Blaine heard someone walking toward the house and cocked his submachine gun to scare off the intruder.

    "He'd expected the footsteps to retreat with the loud sound of the gun activating, but they kept coming closer. Blaine's heart pounded, his finger firmly on the trigger. Let me see your face, you bastard. The next instant, there was a face to go with the footsteps.

    'The new President of the United States, Lyndon Baines Johnson, had just rounded the corner, and Blaine had the gun pointed directly at the man's chest. In the blackness of the night, Johnson's face went completely white.

    Blaine regained his composure as the reality of what had just happened washed over him. Fourteen hours after losing a president, the nation had come chillingly close to losing another one."

    7. They Might Undermine Security

    In February 2002, a Secret Service agent accidentally left the security plans for Vice President Dick Cheney at a Salt Lake City skateboard store. Cheney was scheduled to visit during the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics. Supposedly, the plans were not classified, but did contain information about 17 agents as part of Cheney's detail, including the "sweep time" (when agents were to secure the stadium hours before his arrival.)

    As the Salt Lake Tribune reported, when store owner Clayton Greenhalgh called to report the mistake, "a Secret Service representative promised that an agent would pick up the log. After 45 minutes, no one had arrived, so he offered to take it to the agency's downtown office."

    In an ironic turn of events, the store owner said the Secret Service reprimanded him for telling the Salt Lake Tribune about the missing documents (abcnews.com).

    8. They Might Sleep With Your Daughter

    In 1997, Secret Service agent Timothy O'Brien was convicted of having sex with a 16-year-old girl, possession of meth, and resisting arrest. O'Brien had been assigned to former President Reagan's home in Bel-Air. Testimony indicated O'Brien would sleep with the girl night after night and then give her meth to help keep her awake during school the next day. When the girl's father confronted O'Brien, the agent drew his service weapon and threatened to shoot him. O'Brien was arrested, but only after a brawl with two officers. O'Brien was subsequently fired and sentenced to six years in prison (usnews.com).

    O'Brien's defense attorney Jim Blatt said the girl, "wrote passionate love notes, desired sexual relations and enjoyed them. To prosecute this man when he finally gives in to this temptation, I think perhaps it may be considered unfair." (latimes.com)

    9. They Might Bite Your Ear Off

    Wait, is this Mike Tyson or the Secret Service?

    In February 2002, Secret Service agents were protecting Vice President Cheney during his visit to Miramar. After their shift, a few agents went to the Daley Double Lounge, a bar in Encinitas. A brawl broke out between the agents and local patrons and somewhere in the melee, one of Cheney's agents bit off the tip of Zachary Elson's ear. Interestingly, in a civil suit filed by Elson, a jury sided with the Secret Service agent, who claimed Elson was tugging at his gun during the struggle (10news.com).

  • Stockbyte/Thinkstock

    10. They Might Lose Their Guns

    In October 1999, Secret Service agent Mary Drury, as part of then-First Lady Hilary Clinton's protective detail, had her purse stolen while she drank at the Fairmont Hotel bar in Chicago. Drury was off duty at the time, but violated a strict no-drinking policy while carrying a weapon. The purse held Drury's .357 Sig Sauer and was the second time Drury had lost her gun. With the help of the Chicago police, the gun was recovered and the thief got a 40-month prison term (usnews.com).

  • AP Photo/Ike Altgens
    11 of 11

    11. Assassinations Happen

    Kennedy is obviously the most famous. In an eerily familiar report, William Manchester, in his 1967 book, "Death of the President," reports that nine agents of the White House Secret Service detail were out after midnight on November 22, starting with beer and cocktails. One agent was out until 5AM. Fellow drinkers during those early hours were to ride in the President's follow-up car and whose alertness was vital to his safety (reason.com).

    What's scarier is the list - a LIST - of presidents who came close, too close to being assassinated. These aren't thwarted plots or attempts while the president was out of town. These are near misses, a hair's breadth from changing history: Harry S. Truman, by two Puerto Rican activists trying to force their way in Blair House; Gerald Ford, once by Manson follower Lynette Fromme, who pulled a Colt pistol; and a second time only 17 days later by Sara Jane Moore, who fired a revolver at Ford from only 40 feet away; Ronald Reagan, shot by John Hinckley, Jr., in a vain attempt to impress Jodi Foster; and George W. Bush, during a speech in Tbilisi, Georgia by a live Soviet-made hand grenade that didn't detonate only because a handkerchief was wrapped too tightly around it to allow the firing pin to deploy.

    Close calls. Secret Service blunders.

    True, the Secret Service is awesome 99% of the time.

    But that 1% could be, and sometimes is, deadly.
