You need to read the article about the viking burial. It wasn't saying the women were warriors at all.

If we're dealing with real life, we should address the proliferation of rocket launchers on America's streets.

These guys and their podcast TWiV have been really rolling on the Ebola stuff lately. Not a lot of posts, but generally good stuff.

Well, the point is that no hemorrhagic fever has ever gone into an airborne form before (aside from some weirdness with pigs). Certainly, there are situations where you can have large airborne Ebola particles (the example I heard was when you were removing someone's intubation tube). But its not like scientists are…

Don't you just hate it when Jezebel invades io9?

what sort of butt-hurt man-child releases a private moment between two people for financial gain?

It's clear that the blonde MC does not want this tape released — and who could blame her?

Actually, you know what? I'll give you that one. Elysium was totally ridiculous. And it was craptastic left wing propaganda. It had better acting than Atlas Shrugged, but the world-building was equally bad. I take it back. We lefties have in fact had our own ludicrous agitprop movie.
