To some, it may seem as though I’ve already failed in my mission to post once per day for the entire month of October. But when you only wake up at 8pm, when does the day really end? I will probably go to bed sometime around 1pm or 2pm tomorrow. I won’t be held down [...]

I used to think that picking your nose would stretch it out, and that’s why some people had big noses. Those people were the gold diggers. Well, that was my hypothesis, anyway. I knew that I didn’t have any supporting evidence, and I didn’t really have the means to carry out controlled experiments. So it [...]

did I put on Sean’s “Icy Blast” scented deodorant when I couldn’t find mine after I got out of the shower, but I didn’t realize that the hair gel he just bought contains pheromones. I am so going to get all of the ladies after I walk out of my apartment… I feel so… manly.

According to an article in the New York Times, Out-of-Body Experience? Your Brain Is to Blame, out-of-body experiences are not paranormal or supernatural at all. They can be triggered by applying electric current to certain parts of the brain, and may also be caused as a reaction to conflicting information about body position. I for [...]

SpaceTramp brought my attention to the current increase in solar activity that’s been happening over the last few days. According to SpaceWeather.com, Wednesday’s X17 flare was the fifth largest ever recorded! A quick search on Technorati for other posts about the solar storm brought me to Astinus’ Blog where I found a couple of amazing [...]

But here’s a good argument for avoiding them (if you didn’t already clue in to the danger after all of that Gulag nonsense): if you use a simile [...]

…NASA actually wants to wait for the dust to clear, and to have some time to analyze data before releasing results. You fucking loon! I am so satisfied. Look’s like Hoagland’s blog is starting out, at least, to be all that I hoped for. Regularly updated psychoceramics. A laugh and a half, on a more [...]

Spectacular Conjunction This weekend Mercury, Venus and Saturn are going to crowd together in a patch of sky no bigger than your thumb. Astronomers call it a “conjunction” and it’s going to be spectacular. And possibly visible to me, for once. The weather predicts that the skies will be clear around these parts this weekend.

A live feed of Cosmos1 (ya know, the super keen solar sail spacecraft they just launched from a submarine in Russia, yada yada) will be available whenever it crosses over the Clay Center Observatory in Massachusetts via the Cosmos1 Video Site. If you’re interested, first feed should be: Thursday, June 23rd between 21:00:00 – 22:00:00 [...]

I’ve come across an open letter to the Kansas school board that presents compelling evidence that the world was Intelligently Designed by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. Not only that, but this letter goes on to prove that global warming is a direct effect of the world’s declining pirate population!
