Reception [edit]

3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy received mostly negative reviews from critics. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 22% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 23 reviews.[14]

Simon Foster of SBS Australia suggested the film loses steam along the way. He believes the thrill of the movie dissipates as the narrative turns nasty at the final 40 minutes, caused by those multi-dimensional rape and dismemberment scenes.[15] Daniel Rutledge of TV3 (New Zealand) sees that the movie "carries noble messages of love being more important than lust and true love not requiring sex at all, but those messages are muted by the shock of wanting a bit of naughty fun and instead getting something really quite nasty."[16] Elizabeth Kerr of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Given Extreme Ecstasy's ultimate message that "All you need is love" and the vindication of the value of emotional connection in intercourse, the road the filmmakers take to get there is perplexing to say the least."[17] The Daily Telegraph named it one of the ten worst films of the year, citing "the film goes on for too long, and gets darker as it does so, veering awfully close to torture porn on occasion, before ending with some unexpectedly sentimental philosophy that will be anathema to the manufacturers of Viagra."[18]

However, Zoe Li of CNNGo gave the film a positive review. "I walked out of the first private screening of the softcore 3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy never wanting to have sex again, not because the sex scenes were gross... but because its message of 'true love doesn't need sex' was so convincing", she states.[19] Simon Miraudo suggested on his Quickflix blog that the movie heralded a new age in cinema.[20]

At 15:30:08 UTC on Sun, 4 December 292,277,026,596[16][17] 64-bit versions of the Unix time stamp will cease to work, as it will overflow the largest value that can be held in a signed 64-bit number. For these systems, the next second will once again be incorrectly indicated as Thursday, 1 January 1970 at 00:00:00. This is not anticipated to pose a problem, however, as this is considerably longer than the time it would take the Sun to theoretically expand to a red giant and swallow the earth.

Flaming Lips concerts also feature confetti cannons, lasers, laser pointers, images projected on to a screen, dozens of large balloons, a stage filled with dancers dressed as aliens, yetis, the gloves etc.[7] Before performing, Coyne can be seen helping the stage crew. Their performances have been likened to psychedelic experiences rather than something so benign as music shows, a tradition that goes back to the band's formation.[2]

The beer koozie (koō-zie)[pronunciation?], "beer hugger"[1], or "beer huggie"[1], is a misnomer as it is not always used for an alcoholic beverage. Other names are "coastie"[citation needed], "cozy"[1][2], "coosie"[3], "coolie"[1], "coldy-holdy"[1], "can cooler"[1], "beer sleeve"[citation needed] and "bottle jacket". In Australia it is called a "stubby holder" due to the shape of the 375 millilitres (13.2 imp fl oz; 12.7 US fl oz) bottles of beer being shorter and fatter compared to the more slender 330 millilitres (12 imp fl oz; 11 US fl oz) bottles.

Barbie-Q/Co-anchor Barbara Qantas. Apparently from Australia, her superhero identity is apparently a cross between Fire[1] and a Barbie doll. In coloring, she also resembles the character Beautie [2], from Kurt Busiek's Astro City, a life sized mechanical doll, who is basically just a Barbie doll if she was human sized, a robot, super-strong and an A.I., I guess. She may be based off the original Human Torch, who was a flaming android.

During the winter of 1998, a severe ice storm cut off power to many homes and businesses in Ontario and Quebec. CN M-420 3502 was hoisted off the rails by crane and rolled along a street in Boucherville QC in order to provide power in the community. The engine was driven approximately 1,000 feet (305 m) under its own power to the city hall, where it then became a portable power generator.[4] M-420 3508 was also lifted from the tracks to provide power to a school being used as a shelter, but problems prevented this from happening, and 3508 remained on standby. Both engines suffered minor gear case damage and carved grooves in the pavement.
