In the distant future, I predict that humans *will* be synthetic aka non-biological. It might not be a Terminator "us against them" scenario, but more of an evolutionary change over centuries.

The word leiden means "to suffer" in German, and now we know why.

Knowing Annalee, I doubt it. I have found this blog to be very accepting. I wasn't offended by the headline, just wanted to make the point that not all Christians feel that way.

One of the chemists told me we have a tank of it out on the factory floor. I want to steal some and play with it. I'll probably need her to help me, so I don't lose any fingers. :)

Bad case of brain freeze.

I am curious about the next few centuries, but I really would not want to go on a one-way trip. Too risky.

How about: It turns out the shark is dead and just doesn't realize it. So the shark swims around regretting all the people he ate and we see it in flashbacks. Meanwhile, people on shore are just fishing (not for sharks, but the ghost shark thinks they are) and reliving painful memories of loved ones they have lost…

I have to say, this guy is pretty damn funny. I read a bunch of his comics, and I like his sense of humor a lot.

Just to be clear, we're not talking about moonshine, are we? :)

In addition, here's Neil DeGrasse Tyson talking about the Drake Equation. He explains what I mean by GIGO. The *assumptions* you make about the terms (inputs) have orders of magnitude effects on the output. For example, you might go from probability 1.0 that we have visitors to probability 0.0001, depending on your…

Jaws in Boots reboots, starring Antonio Banderas

Ridiculous nonsense. The evidence is "decipherable" as far back as 3.8 billion years. Where did you get this information? You know Planet of the Apes is fiction, right?

Poor things. Hope they had insurance.
