Math Exams


The one thing that i hate most in life is the math Exam. I just did mine today and i feel pretty good abou it. But how long have people been doing math Exams. How long have their been higher educational facilities giving out math exams. I learned that the first university was actually established back in the 9th century under the ruling f Constantine. So people have been doing math exams for a really long time. COnstantine must have been on something to want to give people math exams.

Slap Chop


I recently saw on television the new and handy tool the slap chop. I thought to myself wow now i can cut up all the things that i need to cut up. But really why would you want that when you can just get a knife out and do it yourself? i mean a little crappy plastice peripheral isnt going to help much. Besides it might last up to a few uses i just cant see something stupid like that lasting for very long. However on further research i found out something very interesting about the guy who was presenting the product. Vince Shlomi also known as the Shamwow guy actually beat up a hooker. Went to jail for a little bit. Thats a great host.

Marvel vs DC


Since the begining of time Marvel and DC have been fighting over the comic book reign. Although in most cases marvel has been on top DC has come out with just as many iconic characters as marvel. But how do these characters really impact our daily lives? Superman, Batman, Spiderman, The Xmen. Plenty of iconic characters that are known by people worldwide. Each character impacts our society and what we do. The newest batman movie The Dark Knight made billions of dollars at the box office. With the simple induction of a character it can change the way people do things. People live, eat, breathe, and sleep comic books and the characters the Stan Lee has given us.

Madden


Every year EA released a new Madden game for the current console at hand. But every year it seems like the same improvements are made over the previous years model. However how far has the game really come. Since the early 90's when the game was first released it has released a single game a year every year since it first hit the market. With new improvements such as graphics and different games modes. Even adding online play for the people who would like it. This game is one of the pivotal franchises in the gaming industry and EA has strived to maked their game better and better each year.

Grindhouse


Back in the year 2007 a movie spectical was released in theaters. The movie Grindhouse, which was a double effort by the great Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriquez. These two teamed up to bring B movies back to the big screen and give them a homage. These two movies were the perfect over the top violence, blood, sex, and action to keep any B movie fan on the edge of their seat. But, what they do here is not only make a great B movie, but a great film as a whole. They go out of their way to add cliches and other common things but its so bad that the movie is actually good. With a run time of almost 3 hours for both films it takes up quite a bit of time. But its worth every minute.

It only does everything


The playstation 3 is Sony's third attempt at a console. Now with more feartures than ever and a new slogan that makes it sound awesome. It's true the ps3 does a lot of things. play blu ray dvd's play games, downloadable content, get netflix, facebook. Its like a little home entertainment center with everything you want on it. With sonys first playstation in the early 90's they paved their way forward to have one of the most successful game consoles of the decade. In 2002 the PS2 was released and outsold the market 2 to 1. Playstation was a hit and with their third installment they wanted to really knock down the competition. With all you can want in need in a console i just might never wanna leave my house again.

Blu Ray


The next level of DVD has arrived. Blu Ray. Shortly after dominating the market and making Hd DVD look like a chump blu ray has become a very common thing in peoples households. Being able to log online with your player and do special things with the casts and stars of your favorite movies makes this a very cool feature for movie buffs. Although, is the price too high for average movie goers. The average price of a blu ray player is close to 300 dollars were as you can get a normal dvd player for under 100 easily. Also, the DVD's cost upwards to 30 to 35 dollars per movie. With the other average prive of only 20 dollars. I personally am willing to spend the extra dime to get the most out of my movie experience. But is everyone really ready to shell out the extra cash for and extra shiney copy of Wall E?
