CRACKED ROUND-UP: Movember Edition

Rather than do the traditional Movember thing, all Cracked employees have been ordered to save our facial hair shavings.

Soren explored the world of fashionable suits for everything from business to bear fighting. Bucholz followed up with a leaked chapter from what we sincerely hope is the next Harry Potter book. Brockway used Fallout: New Vegas to delve deep into his terrifying psyche while Seanbaby gave a devastatingly accurate portrayal of grade school gaming. Dan O'Brien tore apart the new Green Lantern movie trailer and found a steaming pile of plagiarism.

Notable Comment: "Good list, but Heinlein deserved some more love. Heinlein invented the Roomba ('The Door Into Summer'), dozens of modern computer functions including Blogs and PDFs ('The Moon is a Harsh Mistress'), friggin' Waterbeds ('Stranger in a Strange Land'); seriously, the man may be a time traveler.
