If you're up for a minor road trip this weekend, you can enjoy a real drive-in movie again as there's one opening in Illinois with a real throwback flick.
Don't you hate it when you head out to fight crime and something keeps you from being the superhero you know you are? That happened to a Missouri guy recently as he was all set to go out and be Spiderman until a seat belt foiled him.
This just in. You don't get to watch the new Batman movie without a ticket even if you're a bat. Don't believe me? There's video of one of these mysterious winged beasts who tried it until he was caught.
What if I told you that Blockbuster was back and it's free? That really is true, but it's not in the way that you think. It's not the old brick and mortar video stores, but blue boxes that are now popping up all over the country including Missouri and Illinois.
Say Candyman 3 times and he'll appear and kill you. Odds are you've laughed at this urban legend, but did you know it's based on a real murder that happened in Illinois in 1987 when a killer came through a mirror?

I've always figured if we were in the crosshairs of an incoming asteroid, we'd be goners. I've learned that I was kind of wrong. A simulation allows us to find out what would really happen if an asteroid were to hit Quincy, Illinois.
