"Pores do not have muscles surrounding them. Pores do not open and close". The last part maybe right, but the absence of muscle doesn't mean absence of movement. Cells move without muscle, plant do move (slowly) and have openings in their leaves (stoma) that open and close.

You're mixing numbers: Wikipedia says: "..there are at least ten times as many bacteria as human cells in the body (approximately 10^14 versus 10^13)".

I agree. I think the real photo is the one in the box, he added the textured background after. Much easier ;-)

You also can see most of Canadian big cities (on the east side the Quebec-Windsor corridor where 19 million live) and part of Northern Mexico.

I agree. Sounds to me like an automated message, or some sort of spam advertisement. Just to mention the brand from Finland.

Most memorable BSG moment ever!!!

Don't ask why, but Thanksgiving is on the 2nd Monday of October in Canada.....

It looks like made-for-tv films that shoot during day then add filters to make us believe it's at night.

This is impressive (and always a little freaky) to see how "human" this robot's movements look. The way it pushes its body up to gain momentum (kinetic energy?) and pass obstacles seems incredibly close to what a living thing would do. It' too bad that Boston Dynamics is no longer part of MIT, but now is mostly…

Why did you update to a towel? I like the good'ol fur wrapping we've been using for decades. And it doesn't fit my charging dock. whyyyyyy!!!!

I don't have the 3D maps on my 3GS (!) but it works fine on my ipad2, and I really like the map app, sorry. Considering how insanely complex it is to render 3d buildings in complete cities, I think they did a pretty good job. I'm not spending my time zooming in and out the brooklyn bridge saying "omg, whatta…

Soviet-style unifished building has its charm...

Tower Bridge, definitely. You can see the tower of London at the left of the drawing.

Only one thing can possibly complement this : truck tire flower planter!

I agree. I kind of knew about the twist from the trailer and a colleague of mine who didn't get anything else from the movie but the twist (he said, it's a movie about a guy on the moon and [twist revealed]). I was pretty upset first but realised the twist wasn't meant to be the major feature of the movie, only part…

Right. If baldness occurs after they reproduce there's no natural selection on that trait.

I think you're right. It is not because something is possible (as in the opposite of impossible) that it will happen.

Where did the atlantic ocean go? It's a fish tank, water bodies should be well represented, shouldn't they? And can fish reach the artic ocean? It seems tight, especially for those big-headed black fish. Maybe it was meant to keep fish challenged...
