Once again I find myself with a monumentally slow browser because I don’t want to close tabs. So I shall share the bounty, in hopes I can then escape it.
Death by Drunk Elk That’s gotta really suck. Exactly what did they think he’d killed her with, before they declared it death by elk?
Cosmic Rays Accelerate Growth That, on the other hand, is mightily cool.
Documentary Heaven Documentaries aren’t the most intellectually rigid method of learning out there, no. But a good documentary can get the plotbunnies going while giving me a direction for more in-depth research. Besides, it’s better than joining the zombie hordes shelling out actual money to see New Moon.
Speaking of which–judging by the guidelines of the National Domestic Violence hotline, Bella is in an abusive relationship. Yay for a generation of girls who think Edward is romantic, and boys who think that’s the way to treat a girl to get her to like you.
Flying Car! It’s about damned time.
The McGurk Effect More on the pretty darn cool side.
Jet-Powered Merry-go-round Some people is just NUTS.
The Electro-Plasmic Hydrocephalic Genre Fiction Generator 2000 For when even the plotbunnies fail you.
Skin hears with puffs of air Awesomesauce.
Steampunk Cheetah You heard me.
In an article asking “are we alone?” the following fun quote:
The entire time we’ve existed, we been banding into various groups and attempting to kill each other—or at least are constantly in the process of developing more effective ways of killing each other—just in case. The US government, for example, spends on “Defense” (including “preemptive” warfare) and Homeland Security, 8 times what it spends on educating the next generation. There is enough nuclear weaponry in storage around the world to kill every living creature on the planet several times over. Clearly, we’re a species with poor odds of surviving indefinitely.
Secrets of Adulthood Just…a good list, and a good place to end.
Happy Thanksgiving/Eid/weekend/whatever you celebrate.
