Peeps in Places
I know Easter has passed, but there is no reason to forget about Peeps. National Geographic has posted the results of its Peeps in Places Photography Contest. This is the first place photo, but they are all excellent.

Confirmed: 'The Hobbit' Will Be Two Films
Cinematical is reporting that the Bobbit will be split up into two films, according to Guillermo Del Toro and Peter Jackson.
Del Toro: "We've decided to have The Hobbit span the two movies, including the White Council and the comings and goings of Gandalf to Dol Guldur."
Jackson: "We decided it would be a mistake to try to cram everything into one movie. The essential brief was to do The Hobbit, and it allows us to make The Hobbit in a little more style, if you like, of the [LOTR] trilogy."
Excellent. More Tolkein is a good thing. ¶ 7:35 PM 0 Comments

The strange history of “Mahna Mahna”
The excellent blog from the folks who bring us Mental Floss magazine, has a great post on the � The strange history of “Mahna Mahna”, the iconic Muppet Show bit from the 70s.
