The Family Corleone: Prequel To The Godfather

The Godfather’s Father

Before The Godfather and the Godfather Part II there was the Family Corleone, where it all started. You didn’t know about it because Mario Puzo died before the screenplay was produced. Fishy? We think so too. Perhaps someone in a notorious crime family didn’t want the public to know about how their family rose up through the ranks of the New York mob scene of the 20’s and 30’s. But now you can read all about it thanks to Ed Falco’s novel based on the screenplay, The Family Corleone: Prequel To The Godfather ($17.00). Just be sure to sleep with one eye open.

Delorean Bikes

Bike To The Future

You may not know an eccentric scientist named Emmett, but that doesn’t mean your aspirations to travel back in time are any less legit. If you were given the chance to ride in the Delorean, you’d invest all your money in apple, forbid your younger self to wear Hammer Pants, and start up a social network site before Zuckerberg was even born. Well, here’s your chance. The Delorean is back, but this time as a bike. Officially sanctioned by the Delorean Motor Company, the bike features a stainless steel, Italian-made Columbus XCR tube frame, a belt drive transmission, an 11-speed internally-geared hub, disc brakes, a carbon fork and a luminescent wheel coating that glows in the dark. The Anyday model is available now with two more models on the way. No word yet on whether or not they’ll hit 88 mph.
