So that is Eros, huh? Interesting, because Eros was actually supposed to be a near-Earth asteroid too small to support an atmosphere (it was hollowed out though for habitation). I can understand why they changed it though (it looks a lot cooler this way).

Dunno, I used to love Josh but as I got older...totally Team Tobey. Curmudgeon fetish, I guess. So sorry Dule, gotta go with Schiff on this one.

Given the frequency with which I use this gif, I'm going to have to be #TeamToby

Just so you know, it's me.

I can't choose just one, but one of my favorites is the Library planet from Doctor Who. Personally, I'd be tempted to put up a Vashta Nerada warning sign for patrons with seriously overdue books.

Dear Mr. Timberlake:

I don't have imaginary friends in the traditional sense but there is literally CONSTANTLY imaginative scenarios taking place in my head. Even when working. Even when out talking with people. It's like there's a parallel universe that exists in my head. I used to be worried/ashamed about it until I read that one of…

By making a blanket statement, it absolutely disregards it. You cannot ignore the effect that stress from judgement has on performance, because there is -unquestionably- an effect in general (see test anxiety). What's being described in the above study is an example of the stereotype threat, a type of 'test anxiety'…

There is a really interesting book called Brain Storm: The Flaws in the Science of Sex Difference by Rebecca M. Jordan-Young. It's been a while since I've read it, but it is a very in-depth literature review on the problems with methods regarding studies of differences between men and women.

It wasn't until the 20th century. In the nineteenth century boys were dressed in pink (a derivative of red, which was seen as more masculine) and girls in blue. However, young boys and girls tended to be dressed in identical styles that would today be coded as feminine.

I'm interested in what this would entail for all gendered items and actions, following your reasoning. If girls like pink, it must be because they have a natural predisposition? (It must be their childlike fascination with vulvas!) If boys like blue, it must be because they are naturally disposed toward the color? (It…

Because these studies tend to focus on people from a very narrow range of industrialized countries. And then the results are presented as if they represent everyone, but the researchers who did the study have no clue whether or not the results generalize across cultures. Even worse, these differences are often…

"Intelligent design," my ass.

Thanks for proving the point.

The issue is that before women get to university they are already being affected by gender stereotypes. There is a long history of looking at how math achievement changes when girls start developing secondary sex characteristics. You have to realize that girls are exposed to these stereotypes from a very young age…

For those of you who like a little science with your advice, here is what the Mayo clinic has to say on the subject:

Sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder when it comes to "the rich," but check your judgments—a lot of private school kids aren't rich at all. I have done the research on this (I have already written one book about getting into private school and am in the midst of writing a book about how to pay for private…

Type-cast, proven by her role in Manic (2001) - also starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. In Manic she played a teen in a psych-ward who suffered from night terrors because of past-sexual abuse.

I've worked as a trader on trading floor for the last 5 years now and through the entire financial crisis and this is total BS (Though Kristine your final point is completely valid), and Im tired of hearing it. So Im going to set a few things straight:
