It's not like they didn't travel backwards before anyway

(totally unrelated: This morning I took the bus - because I was too lazy to put my new fender on last night and it's slushy on the roads - and there was this guy on a bicycle going the same way as the bus. The problem is, crusing speed for a cyclist is apparently the same as the average speed of a bus which loads passengers at every stop. So the bus would stop, the cyclist would overtake it, then when the bus started again it would swing into the next lane to overtake the cyclist. It seemed to me that the driver was swerving out far more than necessary, but I don't know how to drive a bus.

After about three or four repetitions of this, the bus driver was completely exasperated and shouted and threw the finger at the cyclist. The cyclist, watching the road as he should have, didn't notice at all. He did swing onto the sidewalk a bit later though.

Funniest road rage I've seen in a while...driver flipping off a cyclist. Seriously, we get no love. If we go on the road the drivers try to kill us, if we go on the kakilima the pedestrians act like we're trying to kill them.)

And now for something completely different: they're going to make a new Star Trek movie with Kirk and Spock as young men, i.e. a prequel to TOS. And Adrien Brody is going to play Spock.

*all the nerdy girls swoon*

Some fler on Gizmodo called nzruss made a great comment about casting speculations:

I'd seen a suggestion of Keanu Reeves playing Spock role, but it was later determined (by group consensus) that he didn't have the range of emotion required to be a convincing Spock.

Explanation for non-scifi-fans - Spock is [half] Vulcan; Vulcans are supposed to be emotionless.
