"Plus, if the functionality of the glasses is incredible, it won't matter one bit how they look."

Shot through the heart! And you're to blame. Darlin', you give rainbows...

Yikes!! This guy almost Gameel Al-Batouti-ed the whole plane.

And yet, if I see a boat, I might say, "She's a beautiful vessel." But the French word for boat is bateau, which is masculine. At the end of the day, "petite" is a loan word from French, of which our Germanic language of English has... a boat load. Yet English has no real grammatical gender rules, as you know, so your…

Anti-cluster-of-differentiation (anti-CD) drugs are not new. Maybe the best known is the anti-CD-20 drug Rituxan, a very highly effective anti-lymphoma drug that has far, far fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy. Rituxan has significantly improved cure rates for patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

"How long will this submarine stay submerged?"

Dang... pretty cool...

If a swordfish's sword bone can "pierce the skin" of a submarine... the next thing you know a guy can just strap wings on his back, flap them, and fly!

It's like house music for my retinas!

Hey babe, I have a huge, irregular pentagon. I want to thrust it in your rhombus and suck on your circles.

Pimp gonna beat a cracker every time.

Cool story.

How about if you're bald, grow a beard... and stand on your head?

Clitorus?!? That is a mysterious thing!

What was the genetic predisposition of the people studied?

Strictly speaking—correct. On the other hand, these are VERY comprehensive studies looking at thousands of people over many years, accounting for millions of "person years." Food habits and exercise habits are looked at extensively. At this level of data, in my opinion, we are getting as close to causation as we're…

The study looked at about 50,000 people over many years. I think the findings are pretty valid. The statistics fall out such that if you have less than "0.5 servings per day" of red meat, excess morbidity is not substantially elevated. In other words, some read meat consumption is not all bad. If you're having a full…

Because everything is about me (ha)... I thought the site had become almost about the commenters. Which is not a bad thing if you're a reader, but maybe threatening or slightly grating if you're a writer or editor. So, the whole commenting system went through change after change for a while—it seemed like an unspoken…

I bet this consumes far less (j)gigawatts.
