Aside from walking through walls, bursting clouds and reading enemies’ thoughts, the soldiers also have the ability to stare a goat to death in just a matter of seconds.

Poor Falcon Heene. You gotta feel for the kid who made news headlines on Thursday and Friday, even vomiting on live television, simply for not being in a balloon. But rather than dwell on the fact that his life has probably been irrevocably changed by a silly event it’s pretty clear his almost-certainly-skeezy parents cooked up to rekindle the special kind of fame one gets from appearing on Wife Swap, let’s try to look at this from a positive point of view.

Notoriously dark rock crooner Nick Cave has certainly got a recognizable look: caterpillar eyebrows constantly cocked so as to exude that "Yes, I am mysterious" allure; long, slicked-back black hair and, of course, that impossibly angled and well-groomed mustache. You might say his looks were carved from stone. Or even...gold? Turns out, that's not just a turn of phrase.
