Yet More Things You Should Never Say to a Porn Star

If we ever met our favorite porn star in person, we'd probably stutter, soil ourselves, then run away crying like Jill Taylor on episode #112 of Home Improvement, "Jill's Big Speech." To avoid such an occurrence, we asked megawatt adult film star Stormy Daniels for a couple of tips on how not to make gigantic boobs of ourselves. Of course, our helpful readers had their own ideas. Below, our Noble Prize winners throw in their two cents.

dollard0dot02: "How old are you?"
drifter: "What are you doing after work?"
absolut1983: "Really? My left hand's name is Stormy Daniels as well."
KenCW: Me - "HELLO...hello..."
Porn Star - "Why did you say that twice?"
Me - "I didn't."
jun2san: "Do you mind trying on this robe and wizard hat?"

Obama's Spidey Sense -- New Pres in Upcoming Spider-Man

Given the enormity of the problems facing America right now, a lot of people are hoping President-Elect Barack Obama will turn out to have superhuman powers. He may not, but at least he's got a friend who does.

In the upcoming "The Amazing Spider-Man" #583, Obama appears "palling around" (as Sarah Palin would say) with the arachnid superhero. In the comic, the new Commander-in-Chief meets Spidey, and the superchero thwarts an Inauguration Day scheme by a villain called the Chameleon. Marvel Comics' head Joe Quesada heard that Obama was a Spider-Man collector and proclaimed, "A Spider-Man fan moving into the Oval Office is an event that must be commemorated in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man."

Obama's not the first president to be featured in a comic book. Among others, Ronald Reagan made an appearance in the pages of "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns," and Bill Clinton had a spot in "Superman: The Man of Steel."

We'd also like to think the original inspiration for the morbidly obese Spider-Man bad guy, Kingpin, was former president William Howard Taft.

Obama, a comic book collector, being elected president came in #2 on our countdown of 50 wonderfully geeky moments of 2008. Click here to see the other 49 after the jump.

'Octopus UFO' Destroys Wind Turbine

A wind turbine in Britain was wrecked earlier this week when one of its 65-foot blades was ripped off by a UFO. People living in the nearby town of Lincolnshire reported seeing strange orangey-yellow lights headed in the direction of the wind farm earlier in the evening, and then they awoke at 4 a.m. to the sound of the turbine being smashed up.

"It looked like a giant explosion in the air," said one local. Another witness said he saw a "massive ball of light with tentacles going right down to the ground. ... It was huge. With the tentacles it looked just like an octopus." Hundreds have reported seeing the same phenomenon.

One blade was totally sheared off the giant windmill, while another was left mangled by the incident. The missing blade is thus far nowhere to be found, and UFO experts "are very excited" by the prospect that the crash could have been caused by a paranormal incident.
