We all know the world is not black and white, but believe it or not, there is a small number of people with a crapload of money, while a crapload of people have small amounts of money... in like, the real world.

I though Source Code was flashier and "bigger" than Moon, but still a very good movie (to be fair, I expected it to be crappy, so it was a pleasant surprise). Sad ending and all.

A navy of whale sharks.

This was my reaction when I saw Captain Murphy at the end of Archer.

Sometimes I tutor math and when trying to explain simpler ways of seeing problems, students freak out because it's not the same *thing* shown to work by…
