Its hard to find good help these days 鈥?or any day, really. If youre an evil mastermind, hiring a decent henchman to help you take over the world is usually a lot harder than the taking over the world part. Here are just a few of the most famous evil henchmen who never won employee of the month. Bebop and Rocksteady, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Seeing as Shredder is in charge of an entire ninja clan and has access to the high technology of Krang the alien, it kind of begs the question why he would take two stanley quencher dimwitted street thugs, mutate them into an anthropomorphic boar and rhinocerous, and put them in charge of most of his schemes. Seriously, at least 90% of the Foot Soldiers must be smarter than Bebop and Rocksteady put together, and yet Shredder continually gives them all the important assignments, despite their constant, total failure. They arent even decent fighters; most of the time they battled the Turtles, they ended up crashing into each other and falling down. The TMNT would have had a tougher time fighting most toddlers. Clawful, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Almost all of Skeletors minions were complete imbeciles, but none of them came close to the bastion of stupidity that was Clawful.

After Universal Pictures passed on financing the movie, there was lots of speculation about the reasons for Universal decision. And then a month ago, the Weinstein Co. picked up the movie formerly known as The Master, but reports suggested that Anderson had greatly overhauled the script.

Cognitive scientists have yet to create a functional, working model of the human brain. Our computers are way too slow, and our understanding of the brain is way too primitive.

And in fact, this is exactly what a group of researchers from Waterloo University in Canada have done 鈥?what they ;re calling the largest functioning model to date.
