HOW TO DRINK: The Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster [Video]
Did you know that today is Towel Day, and what better than than to mix yourself a nice glass of Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster?
Invented by Zaphod Beeblebrox, the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is said to be the greatest drink in existence and to be like the experience of having ones brains smashed out by a wedge of lemon wrapped around a gold brick. Sounds fun! The book does of course give a recipe but being a lowly strag stuck here on Earth I’m unable to procure frankly… any of it. But fear not! I think we can find suitable substitutes, and that is exactly what I endeavor to do this week on How to Drink.
What you’ll need:
2 oz. -or- 60 ml. London Dry Gin
3-4 dashes 20% Saline Solution
stir over ice, strain into coupe
Smoke with Bog Peat
Top with Seltzer
Float a barspoon of Fernet Branca
Garnish with a twist of lemon
Drink, But very carefully.
Celebrating 40 Years of ALIEN in LEGO [Pics]
Just got this awesome Alien Lego creation from artist Ochre Jelly, and since today is Alien Day, I just had to share it with you guys!
Ridley Scott’s sci-fi horror classic ALIEN was first seen by audiences 40 years ago today (May 25th, 1979). Ironically, the world premiere of the movie was at the SIFF film festival in my adopted hometown of Seattle (a festival that I am also attending at the moment). So how could I *not* recreate this movie in LEGO!
Over the years there have been plenty of LEGO recreations of the various creatures, vehicles and sets from Alien franchise. But for this build I decided to focus on the genre-changing moment when Kane peers into the alien egg! From that point on, screen sci-fi would never be the same again…
Happy Alien Day: Alien Celebrate its 40th Anniversary Today!
On May 25th, 1979, something terrifying erupted from the belly of a man, and from that date, cinema was never the same again. Today, 40 years later, the original Alien classic continues to influence cinema and remains one of the most loved sci-fi horror film of all time.
To celebrate, 20th Century FOX has created an awesome fan celebration video to honor the love fans have shown the franchise for the past four decades.
Since this is Alien day, be sure to also check out Ochre Jelly’s amazing “Alien” LEGO creation!

A Look at The Strange, Frictionless World of Superfluids
Imagine a cup of tea that doesn’t obey the laws of physics, it pours out of the bottom of your cup while crawling up the sides to the top, and you’ll have a pretty good picture of the ultracold phenomena of superfluids.

“Star Wars: A New Hope” Scenes Reimagined for the Better [Video]
Youtuber Auralnauts took various scenes from A New Hope and used the last few minutes of Rogue One to “fix” them. I have to say, is changes are actually for the better! Check it out!
The fix everything ship has sailed. We’re on it and there are no lifeboats. It’s a one way trip and we have the power of hindsight and a better understanding of the material than the original creators.
