I just finished watching King Arthur, which was pretty forgettable. It tells the story of King Arthur who fights off a Saxon invasion with the help of an army of smurfs. This butchered version of the Arthurian legend was brought to you by another "why does this guy get to keep making films" - Jerry "what's subtlety?" Bruckheimer.

Anyway, in a follow-up up to my last post about the Masters of Doom book, and what must be just good timing, Mike Wilson, former id software employee and the now-defunct Ion Storm COO is suing the publishers of the book - Random House for making false claims and damaging his reputation. According to the book he used $30,000 of company money while at Ion Storm to purchase a BMW. Wilson claims that this statement is false and damaging his reputation, so now he's suing them for a figure of $50 Million (!) in damages he has suffered in shame, humiliation and mental anguish. He claims that the book has damaged his attempts to get his start-up game publisher company, wait for it....Gamecock Media Group off the ground. There's another article about it online if you want to hear more about this guy's gamecock.

On to some more entertaining stuff, check out this guy scratch the Star Wars Imperial March. Also it looks like people have their own version of the user edited encyclopedia Wikipedia, called the Uncyclopedia, check out their description for LOL or the Bible...

The Holy Bible is a fantasy novel written in Quangle composed by Liza Minelli and Bob Dole and revised by the famous Roman comedian Moses. Later on, it became King David (of Greece)'s favourite book. As David grew insane, however, he decided to rewrite it, with a committee directed by his son, the later Rick James. The Bible was finally completely finished in James' time by the committee, and became known as the King James Bible.

In recent years, however, it has been rewritten yet again by Bob Dole in an attempt to revitalize his career as a bard. The new Bob Dole Bible includes a digitally remixed soundtrack and several new musical numbers.

The "experts" at Wikipedia also have their own entry for the Uncyclopedia, and vice versa.
