Keanu Reeves Talks The Plot Of Bill & Ted’s Third Adventure

   I’ve got a good feeling about the promised third Bill & Ted film. So does Keanu Reeves, it would seem. Which is nice, seeing as he’s going to be in it and all.
Talking to GQ to promote his new documentary Side by Side, an interrogation into the transition from analog to digital filmmaking, Reeves was also called upon to talk Bill & Ted business.
The film has yet to get a green light, but here’s something of the “nice story” that Reeves believes will generate interest:

"One of the plot points is that these two people have been crushed by the responsibility of having to write the greatest song ever written and to change the world. And they haven’t done it. So everybody is kind of like: “Where is the song?”
The guys have just drifted off into esoterica and lost their rock. And we go on this expedition, go into the future to find out if we wrote the song, and one future “us” refuses to tell us, and another future “us” blames us for their lives because we didn’t write the song, so they’re living this terrible life."

In one version we’re in jail; in another we’re at some kind of highway motel and they hate us.
The parallel futures of Bill & Ted, all of them seemingly stricken with a touch of mid-life crisis. This could be really good…
I wonder how many alternate futures there are going to be? Reeves mentions two, but then there was already the evil robots from before and, well, I wouldn’t be surprised to see many more.
Hopefully the film will get going soon enough. I know there’s an audience for it.

Shoes made of Human Skin

Big Nose George

Towards the end of the 1800s, many outlaws emerged in the American West. One of these criminals was named Big Nose George Parrott. In 1878, Parrott and his gang murdered two law enforcement officers in the US state of Wyoming.
In 1880, after getting drunk and boasting of the killings, the men were apprehended and Big Nose George was sentenced to hang on April 2, 1881, following a trial, but he attempted to escape while being held at a Rawlins, Wyoming jail. When news of the attempted escape reached the people of Rawlins, a 200-strong lynch mob snatched George from the prison at gunpoint and strung him up from a telegraph pole. Doctors Thomas Maghee and John Eugene Osborne took possession of Parrott’s body after his death, in order to study the outlaw’s brain for signs of criminality. During these procedures, the top of Parrott’s skull was crudely sawn off and the cap was presented to a 15-year-old girl named Lilian Heath. Heath would go on to become the first female doctor in Wyoming, and is noted to have used Parrott’s skull as an ash tray, pen holder and doorstop.
Skin from George’s thighs, chest and face was removed. The skin, including the dead man’s nipples, was sent to a tannery in Denver, where it was made into a pair of shoes and a medical bag. The shoes were kept by John Eugene Osborne, who wore them at his inaugural ball after being elected as the first Democratic Governor of the State of Wyoming. Parrott’s dismembered body was stored in a whiskey barrel filled with a salt solution for about a year, while the experiments continued, until he was buried in the yard behind Maghee’s office. Today the shoes created from the skin of Big Nose George are on permanent display at the Carbon County Museum in Rawlins, Wyoming, together with the bottom part of the outlaw’s skull and George’s earless death mask.

Bizarre rock 'ice shelf' found in Pacific

A huge cluster of floating volcanic rocks covering almost 26,000 square kilometres (10,000 square miles) has been found drifting in the Pacific, the New Zealand navy said Friday.

The strange phenomenon, which witnesses said resembled a polar ice shelf, was made up of lightweight pumice expelled from an underwater volcano, the navy said.

An air force plane spotted the rocks on Thursday about 1,000 kilometres (600 miles) offshore from New Zealand and warned a navy warship that it was heading towards them.

World’s Most Expensive Nail Polish: One Bottle Is $250,000

World’s most expensive nail polish with 267 carats of diamonds

     What is the most you’ve ever paid for a bottle of nail polish? I think the most I’ve ever paid is probably around twenty dollars, but that was on a rare occasion for a limited-edition color. If you’ve ever wondered how much the world’s most expensive bottle of nail polish costs, I’m about to shock you. Yep, you read the title right, it’s $250,000! Can you imagine paying a quarter of a million dollars for nail polish? That polish would have to get up and polish my nails itself (and give me a foot massage) for that price. Nah, I’m sure there are a few people in the world who would be happy to pay that price just to be able to say they owned the world’s most expensive nail polish.
       This is called Black Diamond Nail Polish and there is more in the bottle than just luxurious, rich polish. There are also actual black diamonds. To be exact, there are 267 carats of black diamonds in this one bottle. Anyone who wears this polish will look like sparkling royalty. Also, to make this even more special, you should know that only one bottle of this will ever be produced. It’s a one of a kind experience.
       This beautiful polish was created by luxury jeweler Azature. As you might expect, there will also be some copycat budget versions of this polish which will sell for about $25. The world’s most expensive nail polish ever created before this one was the Gold Rush Couture Polish introduced last year for about $132,000. Gosh, I guess I really only have one question after learning about this. If someone uses this polish, will the manicure still chip off like other nail polishes? I assume it will, and if it does, you might accidentally leave a trail of diamonds in your path. I can’t wait to find out who buys this!
