Then cry:

FALCON PUUUUNCH!!!

Sigh, I am a new (as in recent - well since last November and the 50th) Who fan, and since then have been "binge watching" to catch up - almost all of 11 and most of 10 - still need to catch up on 9 and have been seeing a lot of Classic Who as well. Seriously, while I call the 11th "my Doctor" and somewhat prefer…

Yes yes and again yes. Since everyone is bringing up their ethnic stories-as someone of Greek origin let me mention fine dishes like kokoretsi (lamb or goat intestine with various chopped organs and scraps and lots of spice) or magaritsa - the Greek version of menudo but made with lamb. Variants to be found around the…

Often it does, but that is more usual in politics, which is full of actual conspiracies. Science should be different. Galileo challenged the status quo, lost, but was proven right. Velikovsky did as well and was also attacked but was definitely proven wrong.

First my rant at my STUPID DVR for missing recording the final episode on Channel 4 HD. Even though I had it set. Since I live in Europe at least my telcom provider has UK TV so can get my Doctor Wh, AoS etc. fix. But they were one week behind except last week when something else was on yet my DVR was still set to…

Seen this in Europe too, lots of churches and monuments undergoing restoration only to look completely different.

You remind me of the time we went as a family to see ET (in the theatre) and my sister started complaining we were destroying the magic when my dad and I were discussing the scientific plausibility of the film. She was practically in tears. I see your point though, I love Tolkien, and don't worry if the Starfleet…

Never thought I'd see real Time Lord art (3d bigger on the inside-heck a whole nebula!!)

Congrats on the new post! I also am a history graduate and am a Trekkie as well.

I mean I've long thought we should stop this practice like yesterday. Even with fond childhood memories of Seaworld San Diego....would rather our kids and grandkids see them like this pod in the wild.

Marvelous creatures. Really. Never needed this proof before.

Darn kinja meant to post one only. Still fits though. :)

Yes, most smartphones have both GPS and GLONASS built in these days.

Not to mention they are literally light-years across and only look like they do to us from our very particular vantage point-in fact we can only see them because we are so far away (think the Nazca line drawings) and use instruments that can resolve them and make them brighter. Pretty sure close up we would see and…

Even today a lot of scientific theses are pretty short. As a history major I was astounded that my roomate's doctoral dissertation in Physical Chemistry was so much shorter than my own master's thesis.
