    New iPhone Game Let’s You Blast Fighters Out You Own City’s Skies – Big cities can be pretty scary places, what with all the muggings, crazy homeless people and … TIE fighters. Upcoming mobile game Star Wars Arcade: Falcon Gunner will use the iPhone’s camera to capture players’ real surroundings and tack on some science fiction. I can’t wait to save the world as fighters come charging towards Caprice in Camps Bay! [wired]

    Silvio Berlusconi Sex Orgy: Drugs And Prostitutes Flown In – The saying, “if you can dream it, you can do it” really does ring true for Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi. Just days after the alleged revelation that he paid a 17 year old girl for sex, another prostitute has come forward, telling of orgies at his villa in Sardinia. What’s more, he flew in marijuana on his private plane. Wow – and there we were freaking out about Zuma! [aolnews]

    Is The SuperJumbo Safe? – One of the world’s largest airliners, the giant Airbus A380, came perilously close to exploding in flight after leaving Singapore last night. On Thursday both the airline operating that flight, Australia’s Qantas, and Singapore Airlines, stopped flying their A380s. This follows an alarming in-flight engine failure that urgently raises questions about the safety of the latest generation of Rolls Royce jet engines. [dailybeast]

    Bacon-Flavoured Fizzy Drink Hits Shelves – When you’re too lazy to make bacon, why not pop a bottle and just drink bacon instead? J&D Foods, a company that specializes in all things bacon — including bacon-flavored envelopes and the bacon Kevin Bacon sculpture that made headlines recently — has taken the obsession one step further by coming up with a new drinkable pork product: bacon-flavored soda.

    10 Questions For Stephen Hawking – If God doesn’t exist, why did the concept of his existence become almost universal? —Basanta Borah, BASEL, SWITZERLAND I don’t claim that God doesn’t exist. God is the name people give to the reason we are here. But I think that reason is the laws of physics rather than someone with whom one can have a personal relationship. An impersonal God. Nine more questions after the jump. [time]

    Chinese President Strips Obama Of Forbes ‘Most Powerful’ Title – This year’s Forbes list of The World’s Most Powerful People is out this year with a twist that may be a surprise to some and a confirmation of reality to others: Ranking Chinese President Hu Jintao at number one, above U.S. President Barack Obama.Is Hu really deserving of the title of World’s Most Powerful? How about the other Chinese big names on the list? [forbes]

    Bible Amusement Park Lets You Walk On Water With Jesus [VIDEO] – Ever wish you could see the Passion of Christ in real life, with a bloodied, shackled Jesus? Dream of high-fiving Jonah inside a whale’s large intestine? Lucky you: America’s foremost Biblical amusement park is celebrating its 10th anniversary. That’s right, Florida’s 15-acre Holy Land Experience turns ten this year, which has prompted some entertaining news coverage. Apparently a Christian broadcasting network bought Holy Land from a Baptist minister for $37 million three years ago. [gawker]

    Man Mauled To Death By Lions During Safari Shower – Peter Evershed was dragged from the bathroom by five lions at a bush camp on Zimbabwe’s border with Zambia. The 59-year-old businessman from Zimbabwe had been on a fishing trip at the Chitake Camping site in northern Zimbabwe with his wife Jane. Mr Evershed was taking a shower under a tree near the campsite when he was surrounded by the pride. [skynews]

    Q: How Much Money Is The Times Online Making? A: Who cares. There’s been much media speculation over the last couple of days as to the exact amount of cold hard cash, and the precise number of subscribers, The Times paywall is actually generating. But this debate is missing the point that The Times’ digital editorial is still a function of dead-tree-publishing economics. What’s going to happen when digital revenue is no longer supplementary, but the only source of income? [dailymaverick]

    Billy Joel’s Uptown Girl Was About Elle Macpherson, not Christie Brinkley – While everyone assumes this song was written about Joel’s wife Christie Brinkley (especially since she appears in the video), another model lit the first spark. Joel was on vacation in the Caribbean when he came upon three models staying in the same hotel: Macpherson, Brinkley and a young, pre-fame Whitney Houston. Joel began to date McPherson, and his original name for the song was “Uptown Girls.” After he switched to Brinkley, though, the sole focus turned to the woman he later married. [nydailynews]
