The Large Hadron collider delivered its first high energy particle collisions today, giving us unprecedented insights into the universe and its creation. It was a monumental day in the world of science, but not everyone was happy with the results. “This particle soup is f***ing tasteless!” screamed TV chef Gordon Ramsay. “What kind of f***ing [...]

I love the awkward turtle.  In fact, I only remembered it now when I discovered a fabulous new way to express your level of uncomfort with magic hand motions.  They are magic because they help describe how you feel at a given b-zaro moment.  I would first like to introduce Miss Awkward Turtle, (genders and [...]

This past weekend I went dancing at the discos.  I did a little dance on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday night.  I contemplated going Sunday night but was a little too tired even for myself.  And yes, apparently my weekend starts on Wednesday.  Friday I passed out cold while attempting to take a 30 minute siesta [...]

Not content with the sugar already built into Frosties, a local man was seen putting no less than 3 teaspoons of sugar onto his bowl on Wednesday. A spokesperson from Kelloggs said that “This kind of thing has never been tried before” and that Kelloggs themselves are “unaware of the possible implications” of putting sugar [...]

I walk my white french poodle every day around lunch time.  Lunch time in Mexico is around 3pm.  Yesterday the two of us were strolling down the Malecon (a cemented boardwalk here, pronounced Mal-ah-cone) when we passed a corner of three or four taxi drivers waiting for their next jolly tourist.  I had no idea [...]

Did you know that this year alone, pirates have seized over 100 ships in only one area— the Gulf of Aden. I had to look that gulf up on Wikipedia, so don´t feel silly if you have to click through here also. Yep, that´s right, click on the link and you´re looking at Somalia. Reminds [...]

This is my first post.  YAY! I stumbled on this picture from google images that had been submitted in a contest of extremely teeny electron micrographs a couple years back. The contest had been part of a 2005 conference on “Electron, Ion, Proton and Beam Technology of Nanofabrication.” What you’re looking at is an SEM, [...]

I don’t know about you but I’m going to start training for the Canadian Cheese Rolling Festival now… Too bad it’s so hot in Southern California, my cheese will probably just melt into the ground. An 11-pound cheese wheel is thrown down a hill and everyone chases it. On the way down, racers lose their [...]

I’m get exciting because this is the first year my Dwarf Blood Orange Tree has fruit… It seems Blood Oranges are about to get a whole lot more attention now that HBO is merchandising their show TRUE BLOOD with what they’re calling “A Real Blood Orange Beverage,” check out the Tru Blood Beverage Site. I [...]
