Take a gander inside some fantasy hotel rooms around the world. These are different because each room is one-of-a-kind, designed by artists, and most are priced under $200 (and some even $100) per night. Plus they are very cool and how many hotel rooms can you say that about? We love the chic Parisian rooms and the over-sized room in Berlin that's designed to make you feel like a child.

For months, Houston residents Diana and Oscar Mijares heard about behavior problems their daughter Megan was having in school -- problems she wasn't having at home. The concerned parents bought a tape recorder and hid it in the girl's 'High School Musical' backpack. Turns out, 4-year-old Megan isn't the problem ... it's her teacher, who was recorded saying things like "I'm going to be mean to you" and "Y'all are just stupid kids." Not surprisingly, the Mijares -- and other Houston-area parents -- are outraged, and are demanding that the teacher be dismissed.

An Internet video has surfaced accusing the new Jack Black flick 'Be Kind Rewind' of plagiarizing from a Nickelodeon program called 'The Amanda Show.' The movie, which centers around video store clerks who remake movies themselves after their tapes are erased, is out in theaters this week. As the video shows, it does have similarities to 'The Amanda Show' (which was hosted by teen star Amanda Bynes in the late 1990s) -- customers are dismayed to find that the films they've rented aren't the real thing, while the clerks insist that their recreations are better. Is it a coincidence? Will you still see 'Be Kind Rewind'? (Were you even going to see it in the first place?) And, most important, is anyone else bothered by the fact that this movie is about VHS tapes being erased ... and it's being released in 2008? Are VHS tapes even being manufactured anymore?

Just three minutes to fill up with an air compressor, no emissions, a supposed top speed of over 80MPH, and it will be on the market by next year. Start your lines for the car that runs on air. While they're obviously still fixing it up for public consumption, and there are some practical things to work out, the potential positives of this automotive possibility are overwhelming. Though, that's what we said about the electric car, and we all know what happened to those.

As we reported last week, an online group called Anonymous has targeted the Church of Scientology -- and planned worldwide protests on February 10.

The protests went off as planned in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Boston, Phoenix, Vancouver, the U.K., Australia and more -- with protesters donning Guy Fawkes masks, marching, chanting and handing out fliers (one read: "Ask a Christian about the Bible; you will be answered. Ask a Scientologist about their text: You will be answered -- after your check clears.").

Scientology spokesperson Karen Pouw contacted us on February 8 and promised to send us a written statement (which we never received) but she did liken the group's actions to hate crimes, and indicated that the church would be working with local police to protect its members (likewise, Anonymous seemed to work closely with police as well).

Meanwhile, a posting from Anonymous reported that the day had been a success -- and made public plans for a second day of action:

"To those of you who have been dismissing us as little more than young rabble, we hope that today's wave of demonstration has caused you to reconsider your position regarding our ability to accomplish a serious objective. Our campaign against the Church of Scientology has only just begun. Today has marked our first decisive move. The next event of our campaign is scheduled for March 15. This is the Saturday directly following March 13, a day known to Scientologists as the birthday of L. Ron Hubbard. We, too, wish to celebrate this event, albeit in our own special way. Beware the Ides of March, Church of Scientology!"

Here's footage from a number of the Feb. 10 protests:
