According to Yahoo, Disney is looking for actors for an unannounced live action Star Wars project. Could that television show we've been promised for the last 15 years finally becoming to fruition? Hmmm.

As much as I miss the 90s, I don't miss the risk of measles. Thank your hippy parents and their illogical fear of vaccinations for the the disease's reemergence; it had been presumed eliminated in the US since 2000. Several cases of the measles have been reported a few of New York City's boroughs, more in other major US cities.

As if there weren't enough species of spiders on the planet, researchers have discovered 5 new species of armored spiders inside caves in China. You know, because they're not already sneaky, eight-legged nightmare machines, they need teflon body plates too.

Prisoners can serve a 1,000 year sentence in the matter of hours. Sound like a Wesley Snipes film? It's not. A team of scientists have philosophized a way to trick a long-term inmate's mind into thinking he/she is serving an extremely long sentence without being frozen or costing the state an insane amount of money. Sounds like just the right amount of scifi.

I thought it'd be nice to tie in our upcoming holiday with our entertainment news's ignorance. TMZ reported that JayZ and Beyonce were able to take a stroll through a park in Ireland unbothered because either a) the two of them are black and the Irish have never seen a black person or b) the Irish are 15 years behind America in entertainment and have never heard "Single Ladies". That's reporting on par with Leah McGrath Goodman and her looking through the LA phone book for any man named Sashoti.
