• These bloated muscle builders with disgustingly swollen muscles are being called Popeye Oil abusers by a lot of blogs. I'm sorry to be a stickler, but that would only be true if they were injecting it into their forearms.

• San Francisco's first anime themed hotel opens to the general public.

Alan Moore marries his blushing bride with the eccentric panache which is expected of him.

• Don't count on your American rights when you get locked up for being an asshole in Japan.

• Elton and Betty's MySpace: In the early 1980's, Betty was a more or less normal, married secretary in her late 50's/early 60's at a Little Rock law firm (allegedly working with Hillary Clinton) with a slight psychiatric problem for which she took medication. At some point, though, she stopped taking her medication and experienced a psychic and sexual renaissance of grandiose proportions: out with the husband and respectable job, in with the matching hot pink hair-do and spandex pants. Elton, meanwhile, was a much younger (30 years younger, to be exact!) man renowned in Little Rock for his phenomenal basketball skills until the day he claims someone "put something in his drink." Elton met Betty in a homeless shelter, and it was love at first sight."

• The nerdiest way to get married: Star Trek vs. Star Wars themed weddings.
