Ron Mueck is an Australian "hyper-realistic" sculptor that has created some of the finest pieces of sculpture of our time. Mueck implements techniques that are absolutely unheard of outside of the hyper-realistic field of art! Meuck uses actual human hair in his creations but, mostly, he creates the majority of his artwork using fiberglass and rubber (polymerized); often glazed with elastic paints. Here at theorderoftheironphoenix.com, we really appreciate art! In fact sculpture is a sort of passion of ours. Surprising, we never heard of Mueck until recently! His work stunned us (in a good way). We were so intrigued by this sculptor that we created a video in his honorable commemoration. Enjoy! We really just want to share with his greatness with our audience. The following video is indeed just a compilation of some of his work (there are a few pieces that are not his, see comments below).
Yesterday, Yamaha has unveiled a brand new invention: a keyboard that can sing in human! You basically use one hand to type in what you want the keyboard to say, and the other hand to play it at the desired pitch. Why is this so extraordinary? Well simply because this will result in a new revolution in the music industry! As you may remember, only 30 years ago, you would need a band to perform a simple piece of music. Then, the keyboard was invented (the minimoog), which made one instrument able to synthesize the sounds of other instruments. This in turn increased the popularity of the piano as opposed to any other instrument (save the resurgence of the guitar in the 20th century). This killed a few instrument altogether such as windpipes , bagpipes and accordions. Although these instruments are stunningly beautiful, they where far too complicated for the modern man to learn, the synthesizer on the other hand...
As of last week, the leading torrent site "thepiratebay.com" has announced a grand plan: taking it's servers into the air and over international waters. As you may know, megaupload.com has been closed down by the government due to it's excessive violation of copyrighted information (movies, music, software, programs, etc).Well, the next website that seems to be in such a predicament is the pirate bay. Why? Because the pirate bay has been seeding (not hosting) files for illegal content much in the same way that megaupload has (for almost a decade). Now, that the government has finally begun cracking down on copyright infringements, thepiratebay.com seems worried. The leaders and developers of thepiratebay.com have already served prison sentences and have paid fines for their alleged illegal activities. Naturally, they thought about the whole "freedom of the seas" agreement created after world war one. The end result was simple: since the pirate bay is a multi BILLION...

Jason Russell ,age 33, has been arrested yesterday for jacking off in public. So much for his pure ways. Yes, he seems like such a fantastic speaker, then he does something like this. What a disappointment. We can all rest assured now that the whole thing could be a scam. After all, why would you need a donation of 30$ for a bracelet? Rest assured world, we will never look at this guy the same way! :D We will continue to update this as Jason goes on trial etc.
It may come as an absolute absurdity; who would believe that the biblical Armageddon could soon happen?Is it even stranger to know that it could last a few hours and not affect us at all? Well, if you scientifically analyze the details of the event, you will notice that the battle will take place in the mountains of the Sinai peninsula.Where is that you may ask? Well, all the way in Israel! Why would It worry anyone in the U.S.? It should not!. Now , let us carefully analyze the fact that Israel has nuclear weapons. The bible states the end of the world will end in a sea of fire. For this purpose,we must analyze an atomic explosion carefully. We do have images of these that have recently been declassified by our government. Now, If you look at the picture above this post, ^ You will see it resembles an atomic explosion....
We will be the first people this year to give you the lowdown of the greatest gaming laptops of the year! We have rigorously tested three primary creators for this trial. We have excluded asus after confirming hardware failure in their "republic of gamers" laptops. Out of the remaining three, we found dell and toshiba both shone in the department of gaming laptops! So, we decided to numerically put down the three best laptops so you know what to expect! #3) Toshiba Qosmio X775-Q7384 17.3-Inch Gaming Laptop The Toshiba Qosmio series is absolutely amazing. Here, we were actually very surprised at the fact that something with an nvidia dual hybrid 1.5gb graphics card (capable of adding more memory to the gpu through the ram [up to 6 gigs]) cost so little. The pricetag is significantly under 2000$, in fact if you order it from the link below ^, you will save...
Why the hell would you waste 139$ to refurbish your xbox when you can fix it yourself for less than 20$? I am about to give you a lesson in common sense! Did you know that when you ship your xbox360 to microsoft to get it "fixed" they actually send you a refurbished xbox360 that some other person (like yourself) has sent in and they have "repaired". Now tell me, is that worth 139$? You're basically buying a defective pos that costs 1/2 the price of a brand new one. Refurbished does not mean it sucks, it just means it had problems before- heck this one might be perfect for all I know! Anyways, would you like to know a little secret ? You can actually "refurbish" your xbox360 yourself, quickly and accurately! Whats the best part about doing it yourself? ITS FREE! In fact the red ring of death and other such...
The Order Of The Iron Phoenix has opened today. Although the concept and purpose has been around since late 2009 and was readily matured in early 2010 , there were setbacks and production was halted. The Order Of The Iron Phoneix is The Order Of The Iron Eagle reincarnated. Our purpose is nothing more than to create an amazing community that the people of earth can learn to love and use as a "getaway" from the stressors of daily life. We look foreward to having all of you join us! :)

In an unprecedented act unforeseen prior to yesterday, the “first-ever” death by Leopard Seal has occurred.According to the licensing company of the diver, now identified as 28 year old Kirsty Brown of England, there were no antecedents to this unfortunate and tragic event.A statement released by the head of Marine Biology in London (B.A.S.) stated that human infringement in new territories can cause these types of bizarre rivalries with local wildlife.Eyewitnesses to the tragedy reported that Brown was on a routine mission when a large leopard seal bit her and dragged her to the bottom of the ocean. Only hour later were biologists able to recover the body of the suffocated and mauled victim.B.A.S. reports that such tragedies are likely to occur again in the future with increased frequency as man-kind begins to encroach on the Antarctic continent.
