Japanese Home Noodle Waterslide

Somen is a refreshing Japanese wheat noodle, traditionally eaten in the summer to cool off from the Japan’s humid summers. They’re most famous for being eaten as "nagashimen," noodles flying down a bamboo pipe as would-be eaters try to catch them with their chopsticks. It’s a ton of fun, but feeling sorry for those who don’t happen to live in rural Japan, Bandai has brought the fun of nagashimen to the home, with the Home Somen Shop.

Darth Vader battles Gandalf in new series from Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia

Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia is set to appear in and co-produce Ultradome, a new scripted Web series in which warriors from sci-fi's most popular franchises settle hypothetical disputes in a special-effects showdown.

"My whole life has been spent engaged with friends in intellectual debate ... like whether Captain Kirk is tougher than Spock or if Middle-earth is a more difficult place to live than Tatooine," Ventimiglia said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "With Ultradome, we can bring these debates to the public and settle them in the most logical way possible: through armed combat."

In each three- to five-minute episode, two characters engage in a heated debate—"Who's tougher, Harrison Ford as Han Solo, or Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones?"—then are transported to a stadium where the duo engage in single combat using all the weaponry, skills and pop-culture touchstones from their respective heroes' creative arsenals.

Heh. Awesome.

I've just answered the question, Am I motivated enough to go down to the parking lot to get my car's flash drive to listen to my music? The answer apparently is no.

Ryan is so adorable, billytea! Congratulations on the baby mammal!

I can take advil for cramps on top of dayquil for my swine flu, right, Teppy?

I think there's pain reliever in the dayquil, I don't know what the word is on mixing it with advil though...

I had bad cramps last week, and Hubby gave me one of his Lortabs. Then proceeded to hover over me and poke me, because apparently his "check with the pain doc every month to make sure he's not a drooling junkie with all the pills he takes" dose was a bit strong for me. When I refused to wake up sufficiently, he made me put my C-PAP on because he was worried about how shallow my breathing was.

Wow. That was a go-o-od nap. I get why people steal these things now.

I think you can combine acetaminophen and ibuprofen.

It's acetiminofen in the dayquil.

But the cramps they still persist.
