Yet another franchise resurrected

As attached to Cloverfield, teaser trailer for the JJ Abrams Star Trek. Apparently recorded with cameraphone mounted on a plate of Jell-o. Bonus: Nimoy voice-over.

Edit: If you sat through the end of Cloverfield's credits and couldn't make out the audio at the end -- well, play it backwards.

Picspam, giant guinea-pig-fish that still isn't Cloverfield edition

Revelation of the week: the capybara -- a guinea pig the size of a large dog, the world's largest rodent, indigenous to South America -- is considered, by the Roman Catholic Church, to be a fish. This is mainly to allow eating capybara during Lent. Still, the cappy's many things, but "fish" wouldn't be one of the first nine million things to cross my mind.

I was sharing this knowledge with everyone in earshot on Wednesday because it blew my mind. My favorite faculty-person was more than a little baffled by the idea of the capybara (which I can understand), and the next one I ran into showed me his wallet and belt -- made out of capybara. Turns out he's got friends in South America, and he picked up some capabara gear while down south. (And the name "capybara" apparently means "Master of the Grasses," though I prefer to parse it as "Grassmaster.")

And yes, today's content is sparse, but is high in capybara. ( 25 pics below.... )
