I am NOT a runner, but for those who do enjoy running or jogging, here's an interesting area to run in (or use as a unique obstacle course).

I Am Legend... What a Thriller
The new Will Smith flick, I Am Legend, is looking good so far in this weekend's box office.
Based on the Richard Matheson novel of the same title, is the story about a man who may or may not be the last human survivor of a virus with "vampire like" side effects in the near future.
Dealing with a possibilty of solitude for the rest of his life and then dealing with the "mosters" that evolved from the virus, Robert Neville (Will Smith), is trying to survive and do what is "right" for the human race.
The novel I Am Legend is also the basis of the 1971 movie The Omega Man and it looks like they have done the novel justice once again.

Glow in the Dark Cats - One step closer to the Three Eyed Fish
Something odd I came across today. Instead of finding the naked pictures of Marcia Cross, I found this.
South Korea's Ministry of Science and Technology recently released pictures of these genetically modified and then cloned cats on Tuesday. The scientists have found a way to grow a red florescence protein in these cats, causing the weird red glow on their noses, ears and "low fur" areas.
If the research can be proved by another group of scientists, this could help with research or even cloning endangered cats like the leopards and tigers (what's next, a liger?).

New Batman Movie - WOW!
I've been surfing around and have been teased with pictures from the newest Batman movie (The Dark Knight release date 18 July 2008). Everything I have seen is totally amazing!
This is NOT the Batman we grew up with starring Adam West as the Caped Crusader. He (Christian Bale) appears to be dark and tormented (as the previous movie) as he teams up with Lt Gordon (Gary Oldman) and the new District Attorney, Harvey "Two Face" Dent (Aaron Eckhart) to try to defeat the psycho bank robber, The Joker (Heath Ledger).
From everything I have seen so far, Heath Ledger has completely embraced the role as The Joker. No longer is he the pretty boy from A Knight's Tale, but a truly twisted character.
I can not wait to see this movie!
Here are more details on casting, etc. : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468569/
And two cool clips (but no idea how long those links will be good for):
