A rare audience with Sir Christopher Lee

Brian Viner meets Sir Christopher Lee

Christopher Frank Carandini Lee CBE; it was a mouthful even before the announcement of his knighthood in the Queen's Birthday Honours List last month, shortly before his 87th birthday, for services to the dramatic arts. Unofficially, Christopher Lee remains the king of the franchises, the only common denominator between the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Star Wars series, the Bond films and the Hammer horrors.

By the estimation of most movie buffs Lee is the most prolific actor alive, possibly in cinematic history, with more than 350 big-screen credits to his name. Nor is there any sign of him slowing down. He plays a Spanish psychiatrist in the forthcoming Triage, one of four 2009 releases graced by his distinctive basso-profundo tones, if not always his aristocratic features (one of them is the animation Monster Mania, which he gleefully describes as "extremely funny"). And he has already signed up to do two more films next year.

How to get to the top of a forest

approximately 37 million km² - or around ¼ of the world's land mass - is covered by natural forest, a habitat which is home to the majority of the planet's wildlife, so it's no surprise that scientists are eager to study as much of the planet's forest canopy as possible before the population does away with trees altogether. however the problem they face in their quest to sit at the top of these masses of greenery is that access to the uppermost layer isn't always easy to come by, whether it be due to safety concerns on the part of researchers, their inability to physically reach the heights necessary, or the dangers presented to the canopy itself when interrupted by humans.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS DEMAND WARS
IN EASIER-TO-FIND COUNTRIES

"How Come No One Fights in Big Famous Nations Anymore?" They Ask

Washington, D.C. (SatireWire.com) — A delegation of American high school students today demanded the United States stop waging war in obscure nations such as Afghanistan, Kuwait, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, and instead attack places they've actually heard of, such as France, Australia, and Austria, unless, they said, those last two are the same country.

"People claim we don't know as much geography as our parents and grandparents, but it's so not our fault," Josh Beldoni, a senior at Fischer High School in Los Angeles, told the Senate Armed Services Committee. "Back then they only had wars in, like, Germany and England, but we're supposed to know about places like Somalia and Massachusetts."

"Shouldn't we, as Americans, get to decide where wars are?" asked sophomore Kate Shermansky.

North Korea To Drop Gay Nuclear Bomb On USA

clipper's remarks: Many women are jumping into bed with girlfriends, just to get used to the idea of being lesbian.

A bizarre consequence of the Gay Nuke is that it turns gay people straight. Many thousands of gays have enlisted in the military in the last few weeks. Thousands of gays have also offered to die as suicide bombers against the Gay Nuke. No one wants The Unthinkable to happen!

North Korea To Drop Gay Nuclear Bomb On USA

Would Rather Fight Than Switch

Pyongyang NK-- President Kim Il Jong of North Korea has a secret weapon in his arsenal and plans to use it July 4th. The 'Dear Leader' has the Gay Nuclear Bomb, and once it explodes, all the straight people in the USA will be totally gay.

The Gay Nuke works very much like a Neutron Bomb. Once it explodes, the Gay Nuke's radiation targets DNA and activates dormant gay genes that exist in everyone. There is no immunity or cure. The Gay Nuke is also very efficient; it only takes one detonation to affect everyone in America.

The Gay Nuke terrifies military planners. It could make a brigade of Marines gayer than a Barbi Doll convention in an instant. They fear soldiers will put on impromptu Broadway musicals like 'Cats' rather than fight.

Many straight men and women are terrified of the Gay Nuke too, and are starting to panic. Husbands are starting to experiment with their wives' makeup, just in case

Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar will officially reopen the crown of the Statue of Liberty to the public on July 4, 2009. About 20 lucky visitors will be among the first to climb the 354 steps to the crown on Saturday morning, but thanks to the power of technology, everyone can join in the celebration. The public can view photos of the day’s events on Flickr and follow Lady Liberty on Twitter.

July 4th marks the first time visitors can tour the crown since it was closed following the 9/11 attacks. About 240 visitors per day will be able to tour the crown, but you can visit the Statue of Liberty anytime from home by taking the new Statue of Liberty National Monument virtual tour

Project Nomad - Jason Battersby

What if a vehicle could run off of mother nature? The Nomad is powered by eating the natural vegitation, which is also fed through to the driver. To be used for competitive events, tourism and exploration, the Nomad is agile and aware, using gps technology to map out the richest vegitation areas for maximum power consumption.

Nomad concept vehicle makes commuting easy for modern nomads

The Nomad not only looks like a beast, but also moves, on its legs, like a living being, which makes it ideal for off-road rides and adventure trips. The concept includes a helmet and survival pack for the rider that will find good use in the off-road adventure rides. And the GPS helps the Nomad to locate the best routes and its fuel source.

clipper's remarks: Smith reportedly ran into the arcade, startling the children who were playing video games.

The deputy deployed his Taser with a “touch stun” which failed to subdue the suspect. The second time, Smith went to the ground and was handcuffed.

Harrah's security provided bedsheets to cover Smith and he was taken to security in a wheelchair.

He reportedly told officers he had ingested marijuana and LSD.

Paramedics took Smith the Barton Memorial Hospital for treatment. He was issued a hospital gown and taken to Douglas County Jail.

A man who ran naked through the Stateline casino core was subdued by a Taser on Tuesday before a group of “startled” children in the Harrah's Lake Tahoe casino arcade.

Sean Stanley Smith, 19, was jailed on charges of indecent exposure and resisting a peace officer.

He reportedly told officers he had ingested marijuana and LSD, and was running naked because he thought he was “the Terminator.”

A deputy patrolling the casino core at 1:45 p.m. Tuesday was waved down by a motorist who said there was a naked man running in front of the Marriott across the Nevada/California state line.The deputy, traveling west on Highway 50 in front of Harrah's, saw the naked suspect running in front of the Pony Express statue.

The suspect ignored the officer's command to stop and ran inside the casino.

The deputy grabbed his Taser and entered the casino with South Lake Tahoe police officers who had been searching for the suspect.

Avril Lavigne.

Gene Simmons.

Eminem.

Tina Turner.

Benji Madden.

Steven Tyler.

Marilyn Manson.

Madonna.

Jim Morrison.

Prince. This is the only case where the yearbook photo makes the person look way tougher, cooler and more badass than the modern photo.

Lil Jon. There are no words. Other than Whaaaaaaat?

And finally, though the list of 11 is done, I have one epilogue note. Ryan Seacrest's not a musician like the rest, but thanks to "American Idol" and his radio show, he is connected to the music industry. And I would be doing you a disservice if I didn't bust out his image-shattering yearbook photo too.
