The Saint is coming back to TV with Adam Rayner...
Long before Val Kilmer suited up dozens of times to play The Saint on the big screen in 1997, the charming burglar was a TV show in the early 1960s starring Roger Moore, and a radio drama in the 1940s, with The Saint played by Vincent Price. Now it looks like Simon Templar is coming back to television with Adam Rayner and Eliza Dushku.

Scientists claim homosexuality isn't specifically...
It’s an argument that has found some traction in anti-gay movements that want to label homosexuality as a “curable affliction”, but a group of scientists have new evidence that there isn’t a “gay gene”, but that it’s about epigenetics, or genetic traits that are expressed through external factors, mainly from within the womb.

Elephant poop coffee is the new civet poop coffee
It used to be that kopi luwak, coffee processed through the bowels of civets, was the top end of high priced and rare coffee. But now, at $50 a cup, Black Ivory coffee is the new hotness. And instead of going through the bowls of a cat, it goes through the bowels of a Thai elephant. Mmm.[[MORE]]
“When an elephant eats coffee, its stomach acid breaks down the protein found in coffee,...

That’s exactly what biologists Renata Frietas and colleagues did when they injected genes into a zebrafish embryo to force it to grow legs.[[MORE]]

Holland's politically incorrect black-faced little...
Few European Christmas traditions elicit as many diverse and divergent opinions as Black Pete of the Netherlands. Santa’s former slave may have been whitewashed in recent years, but many still view him as a racist caricature from the country’s colonial past.[[MORE]]
Myths about Santa’s sinister helpers are as widespread in Europe as Grimm’s Fairy Tales. In parts of...

Kevin Smith explains why he likes Avengers more...
While I personally really liked The Amazing Spider-Man, and would even call it my favorite Spider-Man movie ever, it couldn’t hold a candle to The Dark Knight Rises or The Avengers in terms of sheer scale. Kevin Smith, normally much more of a DC guy, recently explained why out of the this year’s two summer comic book movie juggernauts, he likes The Avengers more.[[MORE]]
