Saturday Science Roundup
Visual of the spiral of Earth’s geology.
Be careful how much selenium you supplement with. Here, here and here.
AAAS October science roundup. Some fascinating stuff in there about what may prove to be a pathogen link to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, water on the moon, and various modes of wealth transmission.
Not exactly science, but funny.
This one is pretty funny too, and it definitely references science.
The technology of pranks improves every year.
Math to help you get laid???? Where do I sign up? (25 minute documentary, which I’m posting a link to after watching half of it).
Charming slang
Maybe I just pick on Catholics because I’m escairt to pick on Muslims
Pancreatic explosion warning, including napping piggies
I watched a commercial for New York State Lotteries. Then I went on line to find it because it was THAT good, and found ANOTHER one.
Yes, gambling is a sin. But gamboling is not. Not, I tell you.
No, actually, all men are not rapists
It annoys me no end when I hear the tired old saw “All men are or are potentially rapists”. It appears that a tiny minority of men are serial rapists, and they never get caught. Why? because their male friends can’t believe it! Their victims don’t report it! And they don’t believe it’s rape!
ExTREMEly detailed re-enactment of Sully’s famous flight
Enid Blyton was barking mad?
Wretched weather
According to Vancouverite, there has been a surge in the deaths due to swine flu in Ontario. Stay well, all my Ontario kith and kin.
The weather is horrid. The wind was rattling the plastic siding last night; it sounded like a large and uncomfortable animal scrabbling around in the wall right next to my ear.
Katie is supposed to be back from her business trip today. Two weeks ago she wasn’t working and now she’s travelling on business. Bizarre. I hope for a full report soon.
Yesterday I did a lot of laundry and shifted things around and took up the curtain in the entertainment room and played with Miss Margot (she really likes the thunder tube). Jeff brought the cat furniture upstairs earlier this week and the cats are very happy to have their perch back in the window. Now we have to figure out how to re-cover it.
The crossover CSI-NY-Miami-Vegas episode we watched was so gruesome, and so disturbing, that I’m not surprised folks we know are reporting that it’s giving them trouble sleeping. The episode was about human trafficking. There are more slaves alive today than ever in human history. It’s a horrible thing to think about; worse is knowing that there are very likely sex slaves walking distance from my house. Here’s a link to information about human trafficking in BC.
I have Keith/Jeff’s cold. I thought it was going away but it’s hanging about. Given that I have a dinner to go to tomorrow (the place the church is now located is holding a fundraiser to pay for the roof, and we kinda sorta have to show our flag (at $50 a pop, which I will get refunded)) I am really hoping it just goes away.
a few items
Unicorn Museum. I wanna go, I wanna GO NOW!
Some anarchist and atheist and – candidly – just plain strange quotes.
Excuse me while I kill myself laughing over the BEST EVER use of the word ‘naive’.
Edited later… turns out the guy kept the gold and lost the money. Welcome ta Canuckistan, schmuck!
Weird Al does it again
You don’t see this ad every day
Revised choon
I wrote Wish it was Mine in the summer of 2007. I have now turned it into a kinda ‘chill’ piece of music with effects and percussion etc.
Ludicrous and unChristian
The Catholics in DC are convinced that teh gay sex is SO BAD that they don’t want to follow rules regarding discrimination against gay people. Nobody is asking them to either marry or provide function space for gays and their marriages. But that doesn’t stop them from being jerks.
Hey mOm
Aren’t you glad you don’t have to go through this rigmarole when taking Granny’s blood pressure?
