Rose McGowan is set to don the chainmail bikini of Red Sonja, the She-Devil with a Sword. The upcoming movie adaptation of the comic book heroine will be produced by McGowan's fiance, Robert Rodriguez (From Dusk Til Dawn, Grindhouse), who is also working on a new film adaptation starring everyone's favourite barbarian, Conan.
Red Sonja was based on a character from a short story by Conan's creator, Robert E. Howard and she made her first fiery-haired appearance in issue #23 of Marvel's Conan the Barbarian.

Brazilian Jailbirds
Brazilian prison officials recently discovered contraban-laden pigeons struggling to fly across the prison walls.
Recent weeks had seen a sharp increase in the amount of drugs and mobile phones inside the prison, officials say. With sophisticated equipment being used to search anyone entering the prison, inmates were forced to consider less conventional smuggling means.
The pigeons, which lived on the roof of the prison, were trained by prisoners to retrieve items such as mobile phones and drugs from outside sources and return them to the jail.

Martian Soil Could Support Life
An analysis of soil scooped up by NASA's Phoenix Lander has revealed that it appears to contain the basic requirements for life.
Scientists analysing the data believe that the soil contains the essential nutrients needed to sustain life, but will not go so far as to confirm that there was ever actually life on the red planet without first conducting more tests.

Dogman Loose in Japan
Japan is no stranger to the idea of animals roaming the streets of their cities, with everything from giant lizards to giant moths gripping the nation in terror for decades.
It should come as no surprise then, that a burglar dubbed "Dogman" was arrested recently in Osaka after holding up a string of convenience stores.
Clad in a dog-shaped mask, "Dogman" raided the stores brandishing a knife in order to obtain the funds he required to feed his pets, which include an aquarium of tropical fish, two dogs and five cats.
Dogman is now the hero of impoverished animals everywhere.

George Carlin on Death
I'll confess that I never knew much about George Carlin until hearing about his recent demise, but I know that many other Shriners considered him among the greatest of comic minds.
To that end, and with thanks to Rolling Go, I'd like to present a short clip of George Carlin in action. Enjoy.
