A round-up of geeky stories you might have missed...(1) At The Mountains Of Madness - For Real: Scientists are following in the wake of Lovecraft's best story and actually hunting for the legendary 'Mountains Of Madness' in the Antarctic.
(2) The Party's Over: A black cloud hangs over the Playboy Mansion as two of the three Girls Next Door have unceremoniously dumped my hero, Hugh Hefner, for younger men. I guess this probably means the end of the TV show as well?
(3) Sarah Jane And Sixth Doctor In Chicago: Colin Baker and Elisabeth Sladen headline at Chicago Tardis 2008 in late November, where they are joined by members of the Big Finish team and representatives of Mad Norwegian Press publishers.
(4) Hamster-Eating Lizards Return: 80's sci-fi gem V is to be reborn thanks to one of the co-creators of the much-missed 4400.
(5) Hulk To Face Off Against Avengers: The latest buzz on 2011's highly-anticipated Avengers movie have Earth's Mightiest pitted against The Incredible Hulk!
(6) BSG To The End: Battlestar Galactica returns for the conclusion of its fourth and final season in the US on January 16 - with a season finale around March 20. Clear your calendar now!
(7) Noir Is The New Black: With Marvel doing its line of 'noir' superhero titles, it comes as (almost) no surprise to discover that The Jim Henson Company is preparing an "adult" Muppet movie - supposedly a film noir murder mystery.
(8) I'll Be Back: Season two of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles begins this Thursday at 9pm on Virgin 1 in the UK.
(9) Games, Games, Games: Game 08 Convention is just under two weeks away. It is being held in Manchester, UK, and features over 22,000 sq ft of gaming space and over 40 exhibitors - including a chance to preview the eagerly anticipated Doctor Who RPG.

3 persons have something to say about this!:
Sir, Have you seen this new ultra realistic LARP in Argentina: http://www.boingboing.net/2008/10/18/video-creepy-gnome-b.html
The Noir stuff that Marvel is planning actually looks quite good. With no SHRA in site. ;-)
Don't get too hooked on The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Fox has already announced plans to axe it from the schedule. Seems they are blaming Prison Break's failing ratings on the weak lead-in from TSCC.
Thanks, gentlemen, for your comments...
The Gnome is back! As a reader of Fortean Times I was aware of the gnome, but not this latest return to action.
As for The Sarah Connor Chronicles the last thing I heard was that it had a new lease of life: http://uk.tv.ign.com/articles/921/921475p1.html
