I’m not sure what makes me feel older in this story: The fact that the actress who played Blossom has a child, or the fact that the actress who played Blossom has a PhD in Neuroscience. Oh wait, yeah, definitely the latter. And if you’re thinking, “Ew, I can’t believe you watched that dreck,” I ...

The recent announcement of the 2005 Ig Nobel Awards for amusingly questionable science was a fun one to read about. I mean really, how often do you get to see a (real) Nobel Prize winner dressed as a giant beer? The fake dog testicles and penguin-poop velocity calculations got all the headlines, but this one ...

Apparently, you start out by being just a little bit crazy (emphasis mine): Warren was the catalyst for the pair’s work. In 1979, while a pathologist at the Royal Perth Hospital in western Australia, he noticed small, curved bacteria in biopsies of the lower part of the stomachs of about half of the patients he ...

I see a shitload of bad movies and not many good ones, so I do like to tell people about the good ones. I saw Serenity tonight and highly enjoyed it. And if you wonder if you’ll enjoy it if you never saw Firefly (the series upon which it’s based), the answer is yes, since ...

Fuck you, Santa Ana.
