    Hyundai's Zombie Survival Machine Hyundai is looking toward the future. Unfortunately it’s a bleak future, where humanity is on the verge of extinction brought upon by the Zombie Apocalypse, but, hey, you’ve got to plan for everything, right? The automaker has teamed up with the creator of the “The Walking Dead” comic book series, Robert Kirkman, to create a Zombie Survival Machine based on its new Elantra Coupe, which will be unveiled at San Diego Comic Con on July 11th. The car was designed by Kirkman who tapped a decade of experience vanquishing zombies to come up with the key...

    Reports of bedbug infestations are on the rise, news that strikes fear into the hearts of frequent travelers. While hotels and motels aren't the only places where these insects can hitch a ride on clothes or other belongings -- after all, you can pick one up just by visiting a friend's home, and recent findings in movie theaters and offices prove how easily these bugs get around -- the high-traffic buildings are some of the highest-risk places to encounter these tiny insects that live by feasting on human blood while we're sleeping. By knowing what to look for and taking...

    If you drive Route 3 in East Rutherford, you can't miss the giant orange and blue protrusion that pokes up at the sky like a psychedelic ski slope to nowhere.  "What IS that?" you ask.  The same question arises in Oradell where green and white lawn chairs are rearranged almost daily in some sort of ritual on a big Kinderkamack Road lawn. Thirty miles west, Route 46 motorists pass under a white erector set that occupies nearly as much space as a highway overpass. On Route 287, somebody parked a yellow Packard atop a Boonton factory.  Roadside oddities like these...

    Lefties launch 'Move over' campaign By: Dave Downey - Commentary Sunday, June 17, 2007 Look out, all you left-lane campers. Soon, you could be approached from behind by an impatient commuter with the words "move over" and a giant arrow pointed in the direction of the No. 2 lane pasted across his or her windshield. Those drivers who routinely get irritated when you create those mile-long backups now have a polite way of communicating with you. For $29, they can buy their very own "move over" windshield decals through the Web site leftlanedrivers.org. The site was set up earlier this...

    Mel Gibson Returning As Mad Max In 'Fury Road' When Mel Gibson returns to Australia in May, he'll find the post-apocalyptic wasteland he remembers from the '70s and '80s. That's because he'll be shooting "Fury Road," the fourth installment of the "Mad Max" franchise he hasn't visited since 1985's "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome." Before the big Hollywood gloss of "Signs," "What Women Want" and the string of "Lethal Weapon" movies, there was the gritty "Mad Max." Set in a not-too-distant future ravaged by major turmoil and populated by bandits roaming the wastelands in search of precious gasoline, the cult 1979...
