Today at the PCB we get a look into Binary Bard/Mordred’s transportation life! He sure does have taste in cars… and flame decals. Yet, it makes me wonder how much money he has to afford a giant robot that spews super-spiky wheels of doom, a robotic mouse and owl, and now a car?! Geez.

The binary, by the way, translates to Geo Metro (which I’m guessing is the model of the car =P)
Next, it seems like we have found yet another secret “Cool Stuff” item from the Poptropica Credit Store, much like the Party Room that was also discovered recently. This item seems to allow you to vanish/turn invisible! Cool!

That’s about it! Please check out the below posts detailing the results of our Dr. Hare Competition results and the new forum, the Poptropica Help Forum!
Also, sorry, I just have to make reference to the King of Pop[tropica], Michael Jackson, who died yesterday. =( This seems kind of awkward for a Poptropica blog, but this needs mention. Smockers out!

First comment! Thanks to my application!
Wow Thats a cool car!
I agree. I would love to own one of those. So would my friend whos a car freak.
RIP Michael Jackson. U still live on in us all! And evryone loves ❤ u!!! 😥
it sucks. he never even got to reapper…..terrible. but he lives on in all that liked him, and remebered him for his music, and not his legal troubles. 😥
ok im sad to bu i have to points
1.was he like elvis except for pop
2.howcome ppl didnt get this worked up about elvis!
sorry im an elvis fan,and ive only listened to michael jackson once
Smockers: To your 1st question, yes, essentially he was. For your 2nd question, I assure you people had the same exact response when Elvis died. It’s just that he died in August 1977, so most of us weren’t born back then and didn’t know about his tragedy. =P
sweet ride binary bard!
ok no offense to all who liked him, but
mj was a fruitcake.ST: Please don’t post hateful comments here. Keep them to yourself.
thats just too sad the the king of pop died yesterday.
RIP Michael Jackson!
RIP Michael!
he was my fav singer 😦
my friends fav singer 2!!!! I was beginning to like him 2.
he was famous! 😦
I know.
i did not recognise him as a white person and he has been singing since he was a boy!
he WAS brown but as times went hes skin turned more whiter.
That is because he had sugery.
I believe he didn’t have surgery, but instead he had a disease called vitiligo, a disease that caused his skin to become paler. It also made his skin sensitive to sunlight, so he usually wore a long shirt and pants in public.
mom said he got sugery.
His skin got light from vitiligo, as Smockers has said. But he DID have surgeries, like a face lift. So you’re both right! (Source: Wikipedia)
Plastic surgery.
Why is it that these days just about every celebraty(espsecaly people like britney(yuk!)) has had plastic surgury? It just sends the wrong type of message to kids, young and old! It’s like there are live barbies running around!
But then MJ was teased a lot by bullies, friends, relatives including his brothers and father, especialy about having a fat nose
awwww…Michael Jackson died 😥
anyway,that car is awsome!
at first i didnt belive he died. 😯
R.I.P Michael Jackson, may we see you later on in life:(
I would love to use the vanish item, in the multi player rooms that would be funny!
Too bad you can’t really vanish.
OMC! Oh my cheese! We have that now! That is a hint that the creators are viewing this!
ST: Actually, we knew about the ‘vanish’ (Phantom) power before because of a sneak peek we discovered (item SWF cards).
That’s a really cute picture…R.I.P. Michael!
Anyway, Hiya, guys! I HEART MERLIN FOREVER. He’s so dang cute! GUESS WHAT?! A new hand-held item is OUT! OMG! IT’S A GUN!!!! WOOT!
Peace out, home dawgs!
What about Ferra Fausset
Smockers: I would have done a tribute to Farrah Fawcett, but I figured not a lot of people knew about her. R.I.P. Farrah Fawcett (1947-2009)! =(
The star of Charlies Angels?
Yes, I think she died as well.
She did. Though she doesn’t have that much of a commotion like Micheal Jackson dying.
what about elvis!!!!!!!
that is kinda random….
Elvis died ages ago, but Michael Jackson and Ferra Fausset died just recently.
hey ruthrose:
LIVE ON ELVIS! ya heard of elvis radio? elvis 24/7 woot!
Elvis=Lives it’s scrambled
I know why she didn’t have as much attention! Because she had cancer, and people expected it. But its SO sad! 😥
I think someone else(besides MJ and Ferra) died too but apparently there isn’t much of a commmotion about them, since I can’t remember who did!
Yeah, two more people… I forgot them too.
BTW, the flames aren’t real. they were created on a computer after the picyure was taken. It’s just a white car. 😉
How do you know that?
OH! I see how u tell that!
I just noticed that!
He’s right! they look WAY too cartoony! And the colour is similar to the yellow on BB.
i know! and why would a car like that have flames?
Hey this is a clue to which creator Brainy Bard is!
Also I think Jess brailer=Dr hare because its pink and pretty much bunny like and girls like pink and bunnys!
ST: But both Jess and Dr. Hare are males…
AWKWARD…
Well, sorry to break it to you, but not all girls like pink and bunnys. I’m a girl and i hate both…
michael jackson died becuase of heart attack. 😦 WE ARE WATCHING AN ALBUM OF HIM RIGHT NOW 🙂
i saw on tmz that he probably died cuz he got an overdose of some medication just an hour before he died
the medication was pain killers case he got a broken leg and back. This may be another way MJ may have died.
I heard it was cardiac arrest, which could cause a heart attack.
RIP micheal jackson,he was my fav singer
Poor guy…
i made my player look like michael jackson!
My friend said that it is a geo metro car and it goes 0 -60 in 20 secs.
R.I.P. Micheal Jackson. He will be remembered in all of our hearts.
all who liked him.
“a robot that spews super-spikey wheels of doom” SO FUNNY LOL
I am sooooo sad! Micheal Jackson Rocked!
R.I.P. MJ.
guys!you know the vanish thing,well when you click on it change the number 3034 to 3033 or sothing else 3033 is somethin to give someone a realy bad hairday see
http://static.poptropica.com/items/item3033.swf
oh well eventuly it just says costomize ur character thingy and electrify
but nvm
oh wait,that would be medusa,aaaaaaaaaawwwww
Your right. I even checked that card.
i can never see the whol pic of the things. 😦 i can only see a corner of it
ST: If you click on the minimize button on the top-right corner of your screen, you can see the entire bottom half of the item card. 😉
Everyone can only see the bottom corner.
that was funny.
There are three people that have died recently(that are famous):
Michael Jackson
Ferra Fawcett(I think I spelled that right)
Ed McMahon
Rest In Peace.
It’s FARRAH Fawcett.
Also Billy Mays. (Oxi-Clean guy)
Ed McMahon…….I remember now! Gee, why is soooo hard to remember his name?
RIP Micheal Jackson aka King of Pop!
P.S. I luv tht pic u guys made of him!
😥 No!
RIP
Michael Jackson
My freinds and i r soo sad!
THRILLER!!! (my fav song of his!!!)
Mine 2!
me 2
I luv Thriller
My friends and I r sad 2…. My friend luvs MJ… holy cow Mordred vandalized a car…no offense 😥 😦
Hey! That’s mine too!
I like that song too! Have u seen the video of Cebu Inmates from Philippines dancing to it?
wooo flipinos r awesome… im one 2
Go Philippines! I’m from the Philippines! I am having a vacation in Hong Kong right now! 😀 PROUD TO BE A FILIPINO!
Thriller is scary.
I love that video
oh I saw a video where a 3 yr old girl danced to THRILLER!!!! byebye michael jackson RIP RIP RIP
PS I think Michael jackson died of— whats it called again, the disease that made him look pale.
you know how he looked pale? He had surgery. My mom told me that. Even if he did get pale from the desease i doubt he would have died.
r u sure seriousfox? I know he got surgery, but it might be both… 🙄
ok i just asked my mom that and you are right about the desease that made him look pale but he did not die from it.
HE DID NOT DIE FROM THE DISEASE/SURGERY. He died of either pain killers or heart attack…
he died from heart attack.
He died from cardiac arrest, which is sorta like a heart attack.
Smockers: Yes, he died of cardiac arrest (which is not to be confused with a heart attack since cardiac arrest is actually deadlier than a heart attack).
Heart attack.
you could be right Cheerful Claw.
I bet the party room will cost credits! 😦
they will probably make a little expensive since its for partys
Its probably in Cool Stuff so it might b 250 credits
It could be 500 though, AK early access was.
I think it will be around 500-1000 credits.
What about invisibility? 250 credits…
party room— 500 credits.
I think…
it is a geo metro. i asked a genius of cars (my brother) but i dont think the flames r real
Hey guys! Awesome site! My name’s Bronze Dragon. Thanks!
I love that car 🙂
Geo Metro? U guys like geo metro cuz that thing has flames on it— and I gotta tell ya the flames are FAKE and they are EDITED on MICROSOFT PAINT.
Oh yah its ok though, flames or not.
ST: It’s edited, but probably not made with Microsoft Paint. It’s hard to do anything like that on Paint.
How can u tell if its edited or not? 😕
ST: They don’t look real.
Well, in this case, the flames sort of look like the sort of thing you’d see in a computer game or something like that. 🙂 Some examples are a bit harder to spot (e.g. Some time ago, there was this thing about Kim Jong Il photos, and you apparently have to look closely to tell that they’re probably doctored, or edited. (Sorry, this doesn’t really relate to Poptropica, but I couldn’t think of another example.)).
i think the car looks a little old. ;D
And Micheal Jackson…I think…He looked kinda…like a..girl??
no hes not a girl HES a boy he looks like a girl but no he isnt.
he just SOUNDS like a girl, too..
ya i heard him once on the TV. i liked his voice better when he was little…
When I was little I thought he was a woman, now I think he was creepy looking.
Agreed lol
Someone made a mean but funny joke about him:
They’re going to turn his plastic body into LEGOs so little boys all around the world can play with him.I didn’t make it up, and I have nothing against da King.
Smockers: I will not tolerate inappropriate comments about Michael Jackson to be posted here, even if you don’t mean it. I’m sure no one would want jokes to be made about them after they died. >_>
michial kackson isnt the king,elvis was,well i guess michel is the prince,but elvis took the king title first,no offense
Well, Micheal Jackson IS a king of SOMETHING: The King of Pop.
OK some offence OK U CAN CALL BOTH OR THEM KINGS. ya elvis took the king tittle first its jst tht elvis died 30-35 years ago not tht much ppl talk about him now. but like i said plz note them both as kings 😉
Actually, both are kings. Micheal Jackson is the king of POP, while Elvis Presley is the king of ROCK.
I don’t even get the joke. I don’t care what it means. Its a awfully mean joke (even if I don’t understand it). Michael Jackson revolutionized the music world. He was 😎 when he was younger but when he got paler skin and all those facial surgeries he looked quite..um…creepy, to be frank.
And his best song was ABC when he was like… I think 11 and black. But Beat and Thriller are cool 2!
My personal favorite is Black or White. I just love that song! (I’m listening to it right now. 🙂
Me too!
My favorites are: Black and White, Thriller, We Are The World, Man in the Mirror, and Billie Jean 😀
my fav song from him is thriller and earth song. 🙂
OMG guys Billy Mays is dead! I know he isn’t as popular as Michael Jackson but he was 50! He’s the OxiClean Man! I know he was a bit annoying but he’s DEAD!
Just saying, wasn’t Michael Jackson 50, too?
This is so sad. =( We have lost FOUR icons in one week! Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and now Billy Mays?
I will miss his commercials for Big City Sliders, OxiClean, Mighty Putty, and etc. He was the king of commercials. In honor of him, I will buy as many of the products he advertised; just like how I bought a ton of Michael Jackson songs on iTunes. 🙂
I know its so sad! And my friend said he had a show on the Discovery Channel.
I heard! http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2009/06/28/2009-06-28_tv_pitchman_billy_mays_found_dead_in_florida_home.html
They don’t know how he died, but I am so sad! Someone either shot him, or he took drugs.(not.)
they say he hit the back of his head on an airplane during turbulence i think.
Yeah, because he wasn’t wearing his seat belt.
Discovery Channel had a show with him on it.
The news just said he had a heart condition! And the planes 2 wheels exploded on impact with the ground and something fell out and hit him. But they rnt sur if that could trigger something.
According to HLN news, Billy Mays was on an airplane and the touchdown was super-turbulent. When a overhead compartment was opened, a suitcase fell on his head. That didn’t kill him. That night he went to bed and didn’t wake up because an artery very close to his heart clogged. That’s the official story.
poor billy mays,h emade commercials fun
Ya he did make them fun!
ya im gonna miss him 😦 R.I.P TO ALL 4 THT DIED 😦 😦 😦 😦
in seattle, wa he was voted the worst commershalist
Did any of the products he make actually work? Sorry, it’s just that I don’t believe Mighty Putty actually pulled that truck. (I think he made the Hercules Hook, too)My local news channel did a “Try it before you buy it” thing, and the Hercules Hook didn’t work.
And you guys are right, he did make the commercials fun, I wasn’t trying to be mean.
On the newspaper some people said there friends caught on fire and the clothes turned brown from the smoke. They used oxyclean and the clothes looked better. I don’t really belive it because when I got my shirt muddy my mom used it and there was still a little mud left. Gale Storm died Saturday(I don’t know who she is).
Yea, R.I.P. Micheal Jackson And R.I.P. Billy Mays 😦 P.S. Think You Can Make A Poptropican Version Of Billy Mays, Too Like you Did With Micheal Jackson? Please? It’ll Make Me Very Happy.
-Strange Burger-
They probably couldn’t because he had facial hair.
R.I.P MJ
‘The King of “Pop[tropica]”‘
OMG That’s funny.
Ahhhh! Too many people are dyeing! 😦
Famous people.
u r right
Sweet car, and to Michael Jackson, king of the moonwalk, lord of pop, we salute ye. 😥
Wait a second, what is all this about a Party Room thing and Invisible thing? Secret stuff from the store? Where did it come from? How can I get it?
By the way, goodbye, Billy Mays…
I will never forget you and your Billyburgers from the Big City Sliders commercial…
OxiClean just isn’t freshly-scented without you…
I loved Billy Mays commecials!!
Me too! And YIKES!!! Four people in one week is REALLY weird!!!!
5 people.
6 PEOPLE! Ahhh! It’s so sad. 😥
7 people now.
😦 Billy Mays R.I.P oxiclean dude
me too! this must be the most horrible crisis ever (OK i know it isnt) but still!
Mighty Putty will never be as strong if you’re not around, Billy Mays…
I love the new vid about Time Tangled Island on the PCB!
So do I, but don’t you think it was sorta random? I mean, it’s not a new island or anything, and the only other island they made this for was astro.
Maybe now they r doing island trailers for the other islands. 😉
R.I.P MICHLE JACKSON!! we will alwys ❤ u!!
I’m sorry if someone posted this already; I DESERVE TO DIE…; there’s a new post on the poptropica blog, it’s this video.
Wow; if Billy Mays died, doesn’t that mean the Discovery Show ‘Pitchmen’ will be canceled?
I posted that 2 comments above. 🙂 Also, I wonder when the new items will come out!
oh man WE SHOULD STOP GIVING CREDITS AHHHH THIS IS GETTING TO CRAZY ITS LIKE SPAMMING sorry tht i used capitals alot… man 4 famous people died in just 1 WEEK?
Everyone is dieing! I mean EVERYONE FAMOUS! Farrah Fawcett, Micheal Jackson, Billy Mays, Gale Storm, and Fred Travalena! Well I hope they all R.I.P (Rest In Peace).
Wow. I have just discovered 2 more famous people who have died this week: Gale Storm (American actress/singer) and Fred Travalena (American entertainer)! That’s a total of 6 people. May all of them R.I.P. I hope all of their families can pull through a tragedy like this one.
Celeb number 6 gone! YIKES!!!!
Smockers, it’s 7 because somebody on this show died a day before Micheal Jackson died.
awww…. its all so sad 😦
too many famous people have died in like… ONE WEEK
Another new vid on PCB. About BALLOONS? U get to hold one!!!
And Time Tangled island! Okay, the Time Tangled thing was random, because why in the world will they just decide to make that now?
How? 😕
Idk. Its coming soon! 😉
That is awesome! I bet it’s going to be another feature we can buy!
They just added the new costumes to the Store! These r the costumes:
Karate Master
Retro Robot*
Sky Hawk Warrior*
Xenon Troooper
Space Sentry
* These outfits include 2 special actions!
Don’t forget Cheerleader!
Sry! I posted it before the blog post!
Actually, I don’t care if you forgot it, because I hate the outfit. Now, a lot of people probably have a different opinion, but I’m not girly…
