Martian Junk In Her Trunk
According to scientists and io9, the first generation of women whose bodies adapt themselves to live on Mars, given the gravity and conditions on the Red Planet will be "tall, a little pear-shaped, with really thick legs. This shape compensates for the reduced gravity."

Who Watches The Watchmen?
Just one year removed from the long-awaited, long-delayed motion picture version of the 1980s graphic novel, the costumes of most of the title characters of "The Watchmen" are revealed (with Silk Spectre & Night Owl seen below). Most notably absent is Dr. Manhattan, who, at least according to today's speculation, will be CGI-based.
