After what must have been a very long and grueling search, St. Pauli has finally found their St. Pauli Girl for 2009, and it’s a “successful print and TV model” named Katarina Van Derham.
In case you were worried that the St. Pauli Girl was going to be anything less than perfect, just be happy to know that Katarina is 5’6” tall with blonde hair and blue-green eyes, is fluent in five languages including English, Slovak, Czech, Russian and Polish, has modeled for Vogue, Marie Claire, FHM and Iron Man, has been featured in ad campaigns for AT&T, Bicycle Casino, Rockstar Energy Drink and Dodge, is trained in Krav Maga, a military self-defense technique, enjoys kick-boxing, wrestling and playing basketball, volleyball and table tennis, and when she’s not modeling, she’s developing her own make-up line and working on architectural graphic design.
Oh, and she looks good in a Bavarian Beer Girl costume. (Holding Photoshopped beers if you look closely at the image above.)

Dodge Quest is an RPG that puts you in charge of a man named Coronet as you try and make him happy.
One day, Coronet, a clerk at the tool shop, makes the decision to propose to Lucy, a daughter at the flower shop. As he arrives at the flower shop, he finds that his rival enemy has made the ultimate move before him…
Not knowing how to reject the proposal, Lucy blabbers out “I’m only interested in guys that drive a DODGE”.
As gullible as he may be, Coronet believes her words, and goes on many missions in pursuit of the DODGE.
Upon attaining the DODGE, will he also find happiness…?
The rules are simple:
- The game requires players to complete one mission a day and earn money.
- There is no raise in levels, but purely a matter of gaining money.
- After completing one mission, the hero must sleep for 8 hours in real time.
- After 8 hours, the game can be continued, and a new mission will begin.
The music is fantastically 8-bit, the graphics are the same, and the story seems compelling, so I think that Dodge might have a winner on their hands with this one.
Are you ready to help Coronet save the day?

If you’re still using a Polaroid camera to capture life on film, then be sure to snap a shot of the next Dodge Viper that you see, because both are soon going to be gone.
Polaroid has confirmed that they will no longer produce instant film after this year, and it’s rumored that Dodge will no longer be making the Viper after 2011, which means that the loss of a quirky technology and a venomous supercar come as a one two punch.
All is not lost however, as old Polaroid cameras can turn into quite the clever webcam, and the Viper’s demise hopefully means that Dodge has another supercar in the works, but the news definitely puts a damper on my dreams of Viper ownership. (The Viper was the car that got me excited about cars in the first place.)
Excuse me now while I mourn.
