Psichologija streikuoti vėl!

Liūdna istorija neseniai padarė savo kelią iš Belizo – Amerikos Krokodilas Švietimas šventyklą sudegino ant žemės.

Taip, Respublikonai Turi Hate Me Too.

Over on Myrmecos Alex Wild just brought to my attention a rather personal attack from a pair of republican senators (Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and John McCain, R-Ariz). Once again I started to comment, but given how close to home this hits, I felt a longer winded diatribe approaching

Pointless news, this time from Nature

Fresh off the desk of the Nature News is a feature pondering a world without mosquitos (or -toes). How is this news? Perhaps there is some new vector control we all need to hear about!

(Grinteris) Ghost House

I’m back from the road with thousands of specimens, a little weary and ready to sit still for a bit. In all it was a wonderful tripbut I have lots and lots of processing to do. While I play catch-up, enjoy this clip. Kiek aš žinau, there is no direct relation. . . . → Skaityti daugiau: (Grinteris) Ghost House

D’oh!

Can’t find a way to link the direct video (not even VodPod), but here is the link to the Daily Show site. How many physicists pulled their hair out when they heard this one? Yikes, he is the newly appointed spokesman. Don’t worry Neil, you’re not going anywhere after this.

An Uphill Battle

If there is one thing that I learned in college, it was how to easily distract myself. I tend to keep my TV on in the background while I’m working on my computer, especially late at night when I am usually fighting a winning war against sleep. The other night something did catch my . . . → Skaityti daugiau: An Uphill Battle

How easy is it

to fake a UFO encounter? I recorded this video two years ago over the desert of Arizona. To confess, it made my heart skip a beat at first. I turned around and there were three glowing lights floating silently above me. I literally thought to myselfholy s#@% I don’t believe in this crap!”. The . . . → Skaityti daugiau: How easy is it

Get a Life, Discovery

I sat rapt in front of my TV on Sunday watching the latest installment of the BBC/Discovery seriesLife”. The first thing that comes to my mind… “WHY was Oprah chosen to narrate!?” natūraliai, I waited for the insects special to air before I blogged about this, but having to listen to Oprah for the . . . → Skaityti daugiau: Get a Life, Discovery
