Our new website will be up and running very soon.

We'll have fireworks when we can start bringing you the latest geek news from around the world.

So, stay tuned...

We know. We're on hold for a little while until our new website is up and running (should be next week), but we HAD to post this fantastic psychic test.

Freak out your friends by making them think they have genuine psychic abilities.

Go here for the very simple explanation of how to make the test work (if you can't be bothered to watch the whole boring explanation, simply skip to the 3:50 mark and it's all magically explained).

Happy April's Fool!

Until we can get our new website up and running.

This cheap website isn't ideal. It's hard to use, hasn't got any features, and is a far cry from what we envisaged.

So, with that in mind, we're going to regroup and come back when we have a functioning website up and running!

Back soon!

UK, England. An 18-year-old has made a cock of himself by secretly painted a 60ft drawing of a penis on the roof of his parents' £1million mansion in Berkshire.

It revealed itself for an entire year before his parents found out about the whopping chopper on their roof. But they weren't too annoyed, and told him to scrub it off when he gets back from travelling.

This review by movie vixen, The Dudette, is really very funny indeed. If you're a fan of 80's classic / crummy (delete as applicable) fantasy movies, then click here.

Failing that, it's worth watching because the Dudette is fairly easy on the eyes...

The winner of a Russian pancake-eating contest has dropped dead while accepting his prize for gorging on 43 of the banana and cream stuffed desserts. Speed eating 43 banana and cream pancakes is not recommended!

Boris Isayev, 48, from west Russia died on stage moments after winning the competition to mark the end of Butter Week.

The contest, which took place in the town of Chernyakhovsk, was part of festivities to celebrate Maslenitsa, the last week before the period of Lent starts.

According to local traditions, meat, fish, dairy products and eggs are forbidden during Lent, as well as dancing and parties.

Witnesses described Mr Isayev as "the most active participant in the contest" adding that he "ate all the types of pancakes on offer and won fairly".

The witness added: "He had really enjoyed the pancakes but then he started foaming at the mouth and went down like a sack of stones.

"People have fainted during the contests before."

The exact cause of death is not clear but doctors believe he choked after a piece of pancake got lodged in his throat.

You think!

Celebrations are said to have continued after Mr Isayev's body was taken away in an ambulance.

It may look like spaghetti, but Carbon-nanotube ribbons developed by researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas are stronger than steel, as stretchy as rubber, and as light as air. The ribbons, which are made of long, entangled 11-nanometer-thick nanotubes, can stretch to more than three times their normal width but are stiffer and stronger than steel or Mylar lengthways. They can expand and contract thousands of times and withstand temperatures ranging from -190 to over 1,600 °C. What's more, they are almost as light as air, and are transparent, conductive, and flexible.

The world's first flying car - the Terrafugia Transition took to the skies this week for its maiden voyage, following six months of road tests and years of design. The goal is to create an airplane that can be driven to and from a runway and parked in the family garage at night.

The Transition runs on regular unleaded gasoline and can travel up to 500 miles on a single tank of gas. It takes less than 30 seconds for the vehicle's wings to fold up or extend to transform from plane to car or vice-versa.



Information from the test flight will be used to tweak the Transition's design for a second prototype. The company plans to begin selling the vehicles, which cost $194,000, in 2010, said Richard Gersh, Terrafugia's vice president of business development.

The company has taken deposits for 40 vehicles already, Deitrich said.
That's right, a flying car could soon be in circulation meaning we can add a new addition to road rage: sky fury.
