Start not — nor deem my spirit fled:

Suddenly, my deviant sex life doesn't seem so bad.

I like this a lot, but one thing does bother me about it. Some of these figures are actual, important scientists...and some are great public relations figures who never really contributed much to science. Sagan, Tyson, Gould and Dawkins are interesting people but they don't deserve to be mentioned on the same level…

It's okay. I'd rate it as 'watchable'. The writing is a bit weaker, and the storyline suffers from being all about 'how do we live alongside dragons', but it's a cut above most animated TV.

Good to meet you, Rob. I never read Topless Robot but I've heard good things.

Do people with this syndrome go around saying, 'I'm mister freeze blister, I'm mister snow, I'm mister icicle, I'm mister ten below...'?

The official self-life is 25 days, which is still huge for a pastry. But I read that a science teacher has kept a twinkie in his classroom for 30 years and it hasn't decayed. He claims it's probably still edible.

Is the memorial to Laika considered weird, or just awesome?

I like this chart best because it really shows that Jill Kelley seems to be at the heart of this scandal. I would not be surprised if she were a foreign agent tasked with pumping American military men for secrets. She has no job and spends all her time hosting high-ranking officials at her home for parties, that is…

In the MLP fanbase, the upcoming episode is being referred to as the 'Pinkipocalypse'. You thought zombies hordes were scary, wait until you see hordes of Pinkie Pies...

This article should be labeled 'Not safe for Hypochondriacs'. Now I have to figure out if the sweet smell my breath sometimes has is a sign of diabetes, schizophrenia, diptheria, or just too many caramel cremes. Gaaaah!

That device looks like the Eye of Sauron. What does Sauron have to do with invisi...

No, I think it applies whether you're married or not. What matters is whether you keep the affairs secret or not. If you have anything to hide, it is potential blackmail material.

You have to be faithful to your wife to hold a top secret security clearance. This is true for the top of the CIA all the way to the numbers geek who works in the basement (like I was). If you sleep around, your clearance is stripped. Then they may as well fire you because you can't do that work anymore.

Peanut allergies are actually pretty rare. What makes them such a hot topic is that a peanut allergy will just straight up kill you, while most other allergies just give you itchy eyes and a clogged-up nose. Because of that peanut allergies get a lot more attention and people take a lot more caution to avoid…

When I was young I was known for french-kissing the family dog, walking to and from school through a graveyard, and playing in a nearby park whose creek was the outflow of a sewage runoff facility. I used to drink from that creek. I have no allergies.

Guns? I thought he was modeling vacuum cleaners.

That should be true of most arctic animals. You can't afford to lose much heat in those conditions, so fat/blubber/thick fur has to insulate you well enough that you shouldn't be emitting much IR.

They're big elephants. Really big. They're the biggest mammals ever to walk the earth. And we went to a lot of trouble to eat them, which means they must have been delicious.

All names of the form 'Blind (adjective) (noun)' always sound like the name of a blues singer.
