We've done five of these "From the Airs" so far, and they've been pretty successful. With each one, a non-corresponding image has started them off. While these images aren't taken by satellite, they are taken from an aerial view. And let's see if you can name them. (Google Maps probably won't help you on this one.)

(Here's a hint, none of them are from places featured in the corresponding From the Air)

Yes, this is exactly what you think it is.

I was asked to watch the season finale of the Bachelor with the understanding I'd have sex afterward. And so, I sat through three long hours of scripted-reality romance. This was the first episode I'd ever seen, and for those of you not in the Bachelor loop, the show involves a guy picking the love of his life out of 20 or so women. This is really nothing more than an excuse for him to make out with hot chicks and go on hot air balloon rides with them. And so, I'd like to take a moment to summarize what transpired on the finale (along with the "After the Last Rose" segment which followed). However, I'll be summarizing in "dude-speak".

Last week, Haterade once again gets 2 out of 3 right. Can he keep that going against a Top 12 group that is arguably the strongest in the competition?

He's the puppet made out of meat.
Course he didn't last long, he's to delicious to live. Maggots or not.

Cheap, explosive, and unreliable. That's how I'd categorize most of my relationships with women. The same terms could be applied to bottle rockets, which have given double the excitement any of the ex-Miss Echowoods have. In high school, we'd launch them out of my car's sunroof ... while I was driving. We'd attach various bugs and creatures to them, with the understanding that all organisms really want a fast and violent death. But no creature is more amusing than the human, especially when it comes to accidents at the fiery hands of bottle rockets.

(Accidents is used lightly here. Perhaps "incidents of stupidity" would have been better.)

"Watchmen" *** (out of four): That director Zack Snyder's vehemently faithful adaptation of Alan Moore's seminal graphic novel is as entertaining as it is counts as a monumental achievement. But that doesn't make it a great movie.

It's hard to hate director Zack Snyder. He tries so hard to please - particularly when given the unenviable task of translating hallowed source material into blockbuster movies. He did it once with "300", his bravura adaptation of Frank Miller's homoerotic history lesson. And now he's at it again, this time choosing to adapt one of the most revered graphic novels in the history of the form: Alan Moore's cynical superhero epic, "Watchmen". Many have famously called "Watchmen" unfilmable (Mr. Moore himself removed his name from the film, only illustrator Dave Gibbons remains). But if you want a comic book put on screen, you can't ask for a better director than Zack Snyder.

It's time to play...are they drunk?

We have here a collection of photos from around the Internets focusing on people
who appear to be quite inebriated.

Or maybe they're faking it. Judge for yourself.
