<p>After all, we lost Leslie Neilsen this week, so the nerds take a few minutes to give props to the man who gave us a few of the most quotable punchlines in movie history.  We also, in true net hipster style, point out a few errors being made in some of the quotes being attributed to the late great Mr. Neilsen.  However, our tweeting of a lovely montage of his funniest moments leads us into the dark underbelly of YouTube to see things we didn&#8217;t know were there (hint: it&#8217;s not sneezing pandas).</p>

Tron is only a few weeks away now and Crashboy consolidates his intention to make it the movie to which he loses his tender 3D flower.  Ah, they grow up so fast.  Jeff Bridges grew up too, which is why the folks over at Disney whipped up some magic software to make him look younger for the film -- a development he&#039;s quite happy with (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1332695/Jeff-Bridges-TRON-Legacy-This-technology-means-Id-work-again.html)!

If you thought you knew Edison, well you might want to think again.  After all, this is the man who gave us the cement phonograph, the ghost detector and the snuff film (http://www.oobject.com/category/9-strange-edison-inventions/) (no, we&#039;re not making that last one up).

So this week we go a&#8217;time travellin&#8217;.  Or at least we talk about it.  Should you wish to take a jaunt into the past, you could maybe have look at some obsolete jobs.  Or perhaps the original &#8220;Tron&#8220;.  Or you could go several months into the future and see the upcoming Tron remake!  Plus, when it comes to time travel, you now have a choice of vehicle, Delorean, or hot tub.  But don&#8217;t speculate on the future, because it seems we always get it wrong.  Stick with the more immediate future,&#8230; like April 3rd when Apple is now set to release the iPad.  So says their commercial from Oscar night which the nerds examine.</p>
<p>We also look at how a technology long used in wrist watches could be coming to a cell phone near you, and could get rid of those unsightly charging cords in the process.  We also somehow connect a jailed Israeli soldier with the movie &#8220;Airplane&#8221;.  (surprisingly easily!)</p>
<p>Plus, this week Crashboy explains follow Friday to a clued out Art, and we take a listener call suggesting a male equivalent for&#8230;.. you guessed it&#8230; vajazzling.</p>
