It's from a blog called Hyperbole and a Half. It originally came from her piece about "This is why I'll never be an adult", and was about house-cleaning ("CLEAN ALL THE THINGS!") and trying (and failing) to be a responsible adult.
I really recommend the blog. She's hilarious in a really dry way.
Sure, but first you have to join the special club. All you have to is sacrifice a goat in the name of our dark lord and good neighbour, Satan.
Now hail Satan and keep off the grass.
.....eh, it's really late and I haven't slept. Anyways, here's a link to a few, but I'm fairly sure that other than the Disney Expo thingy that most were released in some form officially on the web.
I always thought they were trying to imply that the project Bruce and Betty were working on was derived from the original Super Soldier project, yeah. Remember when they injected Steve with the serum, and then the camera closed in on his face and he did that sort of "Hulk-out" face with his eyes flying open? I always figured that was a deliberate reference.
General Ross flat out said that they were working on it and didn't know it. I believe Banner and Betty thought they were working on some kind of experiment for radiation resistance. Ah, found the conversation.
Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: Banner’s work was very early phase. It wasn’t even weapons application. He thought he was working on radiation resistance. I would never have told him what the project really was. But he was so sure of what he was onto, that he tested it on himself. And something went very wrong. Or it went very right. As far as I’m concerned, that man’s whole body is property of the US Army.
Emil Blonsky: You said he wasn’t working on weapons, right?
Ross: No.
Blonsky: But you were. You were, weren’t you? You were trying other things.
Ross: One serum we developed… was very promising.
Blonsky: So why did he run?
Ross: He’s a scientist. He is not one of us.
EDIT: Okay so HEAVILY implied more than flat out said but yeah all he needed was a red neon sign, really.

I have been rewinding my DVD again and again, and I do *NOT* see a character named "Edit" in that scene with Blonsky and Ross. I CALLS SHENANANANANANIGANS
So it seems clear to me that Banner wasn't working on a variant of the SS serum(because as a genius, you'd think he would have realized it if he had been). It seems more like he was working on something they intended to eventually incorporate into a new SS serum(namely, radiation resistance). So it's not quite Ultimates Banner.
Why would Banner have realized he'd been working on a variant of the Super Soldier serum? (Assuming he had been, of course.) It's highly unlikely he'd have even known of such a thing. The U.S. military would have kept that very, very highly classified.

I was thinking maybe they (Gen Ross & friends) were trying to figure out what Vita Rays actually were or maybe looking into finding a replacment for VR's like Gamma.

Because he's smart and he would know whatever he's working on inside and out. He would still need to know what effect he was told to achieve with what his project was. Now by keeping it as just radiation resistance(which would later be worked on by someone else and added to a new SS serum), he can be effectively kept in the dark on it.
But if he was working on something that was supposed to do all the things the SS serum is supposed to do and it was his job to make it work, then yeah...I think he'd figure out what he was working on.

I fear that in order to give other heroes more credit for heroism they may have written Hulk as a villain, mind controlled by Loki, if that is the case I would be so disappointed.
I still have not been able to get a straight answer on whether or not the Skrulls will be in the movie, which is probably how Marvel wants it. The proof I have that they WILL be in the movie is that some guy tweeted about Whedon doing his impression of a Skrull army charging at the Avengers, and the fact that there were Skrull designs for the video game. I've also heard rumors that Colbie Smulders' character
is the queen of the skrulls in disguise
At the very least, I hope they're in the sequel. But seriously, Fing Fang Foom, Loki, AND the Skrulls in one movie? Holy Christwagons, that'd be nutty-awesome.
Has there been any Marvel Movie thus far that has had this many Jack Kirby creations in one story? This feels like Kirby: The Movie so far.

If it ain't the Skrulls then I'm thinking something along the lines of the culmination of the Grand Theft America storyline in Ultimates 2. A big horde of creatures from the other Asgardian realms under Loki's command.
I was thinking maybe they (Gen Ross & friends) were trying to figure out what Vita Rays actually were or maybe looking into finding a replacment for VR's like Gamma.
I speculated that gamma rays and Vita Rays were one and the same, but Ross didn't reveal that to Banner. It is clear that VR is a type of radiation because Howard Stark built a reactor to produce them for Dr. Erskine in CA:TFA. Back in the early days of nuclear research, the origin and nature of different forms of radiation was often misunderstood, so Erskine and Stark may not have known that they were using gamma radiation. If gamma radiation and the serum were both vital components of the successful creation of a Super Soldier, then giving just one of them to a subject could account for the effects they had.
Gamma rays alone turned Banner into the Hulk, while the knock-off serum by itself made Blonsky an abomination. Put the two together and you'll either get another Captain America or a brand new Red Skull.
Wow...in another installment of Mickey Rourke whining about Iron Man 2, he now accuses Jon Favreau of having "no balls"....
"If they let you play the bad guy with other dimensions other than one dimensional. You have to fight for that though, to bring layers to the character. Otherwise, if you're working for the wrong studio or let's say a director that doesn't have any balls, then they're just gonna want it to be the evil bad guy."
"So, if you're working with some good studio guys that got brains and you're working with a director with a set of nuts that'll let you incorporate that then it's fun. Otherwise, you end up with what happened on 'Iron Man.'"
"Tarsem was great. He's really smart, innovative. He had little things that were all 'Oh wow.' And that's what it's all about to have somebody working with you that can kind of take your performance further than you maybe think you can or whatever. And he was so enthusiastic that it rubs off on the crew, it rubs off on the other actors. So it's a collaborative, supportive kind of thing, instead of a laborious technical twelve hours. You get through the day and you look forward to going to work the next day, sometimes."
Seriously, he sounds like a broken record. "Layers, depth, characters, blah". We get it, you were disappointed with IM2. I wonder why he's just now speaking out so heavily against it?

That's his MO. He did the same thing with that POS movie he made with Meghan Fox. He praised her as a great actress (in fact, he might've even said she was the best he'd worked with) and then turned around after it was out and poo-pooed all over it.
