What happened when Darth Vader had to tell the Emperor that the Death Star had been destroyed : Respectful Insolence

Who (or what) is Orac?

Orac is the nom de blog of a (not so) humble pseudonymous surgeon/scientist with an ego just big enough to delude himself that someone, somewhere might actually give a rodent's posterior about his miscellaneous verbal meanderings, but just barely small enough to admit to himself that few will. (Continued here, along with a DISCLAIMER that you should read before reading any medical discussions here.)

Orac's old Blog is archived at Archived Insolence.

Hilarious. It incorporates what we know now from the prequels into what might have happened when Darth Vader had to tell the Emperor what happened at the end of the first Star Wars movie:

That's from "Robot Chicken," Seth Green's action figure stop-animation sketch show on adult swim. Great show.

Robot Chicken, especially the second season, hits far more than it misses, and that was one of the better bits so far. New episodes Sunday night at 11:30 pm on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim.

I was soooo depressed. Its frickin' raining on Memorial Day weekend. I figured I'd check into RI one more time.

Then I clicked on this link (it took forever to load and play, I have a 400mHz iMac from the Stone Age).

I laughed. I cried. I feel better.

I think I'll get another beer and watch some more cable.
