"Hello friends, don't you want to meet a nice girl?"

So asks Seth Green — TV, movie and video game star — as he opens the "Geek and Gamer Girls" music video unleashed on the Internet Friday by Team Unicorn.

Seems Green knows where you can find all the nicest (and badass-est) girls: playing video games and hanging out in comic book stores.

The video, which pays tribute to all the women out there who love gaming, manga and all things sci-fi, stars the members of Team Unicorn.

These four women have got some serious game and geek cred. They are: Michele Boyd(actress from "The Guild"), Clare Grant (voice actress for "Robot Chicken" and Green's wife), Milynn Sarley (TheGamerChick) and Rileah Vanderbilt (actress from horror films "Hatchet" and "Frozen"). Grant and Vanderbilt also starred in the "Star Wars" fan video "Saber."

So why does they go by the name Team Unicorn? "Because like unicorns, geek girls are not supposed to exist," they told the Official Star Wars blog.

Go ahead, check out the video and see if you can catch all the geek references and spot all the geek supa-stars making cameos.

We, love Stan Lee (Excelsior!)
And Joss created all our favorite shows
We Frag
In our sleep
We will pwn your ass in Halo (Uh-oh)

[ENVIRONMENT] Big Food vw. Big Insurance

Big Food vs. Big Insurance By MICHAEL POLLANPublished: September 9, 2009 TO listen to President Obama’s speech on Wednesday night, or to just about anyone else in the health care debate, you would think that the biggest problem with health care in America is the system itself — perverse incentives, inefficiencies, unnecessary tests and procedures, lack of competition, and greed. No one disputes that the $2.3 trillion we devote to the health care industry is often spent unwisely, but the fact that the United States spends twice as much per person as most European countries on health care can be substantially explained, as a study released last month says, by our being fatter. Even the most efficient health care system that the administration could hope to devise would still confront a rising tide of chronic disease linked to diet. That’s why our success in bringing health care costs under control ultimately depends on whether Washington can summon the political will to take on ...

[NEWS] Chocolate Bond

British high-end chocolate maker and retailer Hotel Chocolat , which currently operates over 40 stores in the UK, the Middle East and the US, wants to expand even further. But rather than turning to banks or big investors for money, they're inviting customer to buy bonds. Bonds that will pay chocolate returns. Two values of Chocolate Bond will be issued: both with the return paid in monthly Tasting Boxes. Holders of a GBP 2,000 Chocolate Bond will receive six free tasting boxes a year worth GBP 107.70 per year, and those holding a GBP 4,000 bond will receive thirteen boxes, worth GBP 233.35 per year. Which comes down to a 5.38% return. After an initial term of three years, and on every anniversary thereafter, bond holders can redeem their bond for a full return of their investment. If they decide to continue to hold the bond, the monthly boxes will keep on coming. The company doesn't have to worry about the logistics of interest payment in kind; it already operates a tasting...
