This is basically what my friends and I concluded after seeing the movie; the only way for that scene to make sense is if the first 2/3 of the second film is setting up why Sinestro would want the yellow ring, and only then does he put it on. If they start out with Sinestro being evil, that's it, the film's over.

I don't know if "cutesy" is the word I'd use to describe it, but my favorite ridiculous medical problem name has to be Exploding Head Syndrome. No, it's not like that guy from Scanners.

And don't forget, Acme Klein Bottles is there for all your fourth-dimensional manifold needs: [www.kleinbottle.com]

Wait, they studied French people...and found a cohort who never ate olive oil? I find that hard to believe.

I hope you don't forget to celebrate Tau Day then too.

Based on their FAQ, they reuse text. Although some match so perfectly, it's hard to tell.

I came here ready to pooh-pooh this article for being overly optimistic and unrealistic about the potential of this research, but this is actually a pretty good take on the E. chromi project. Basically, the team prepared genes which can be triggered by standard BioBricks parts and which produce various human-visible…

No discussion of the Ackerman function (aside to a link where David Morgan-Mar explains the concept)?

Really, no reference to Cracked.com's excellent discussion of Dunbar's Number, What is the Monkeysphere? And when I say "excellent," I mean "hilarious and scatological, but also insightful and thought-provoking."

The episode is titled "The Victory of the Daleks," and it is completely accurate. Maybe the Moff doesn't want to mess with the high note he left them on?

Good to see the return of Colin Farrell and the Eyebrow of Power.

My first thought was "HOLY SHIT WEEPING ANGEL!" But I guess the guy from Pan's Labyrinth would be a better fit.

So, they can have Sinestro with prosthetics and makeup, but Ryan Reynolds couldn't wear an actual mask? I'm not upset with the suit, I understand their reasons for that, but would it had killed them to give him a physical mask?

So, lateral lines are cool and all, but I was under the impression that pretty much all fish have those. So not exactly a reason to bow down before your shark overlords, unless you're planning on bowing to the goldfish next.

While there are certainly reasons to think that DNA might make for a useful computational substrate, if the best this author has is "it's base 4 rather than base 2," I'm extremely unimpressed. Sure, on its face having base 4 rather than base 2 means you can halve the number of spaces needed to store information, but…

Exactly, I saw a suggestion somewhere that people put out fake "rapture leftovers" like those suggested here, and then underneath include a flyer reading "The Rapture didn't happen, but there are real people on Earth with real needs; please donate these clothes."

First of all, the lack of a "overthrow the corrupt government which will just steal any food aid you provide to the country and try to replace them with one that's not going to kill its people" option makes this poll kind of invalid. However, with that said, anyone reading the comments before voting should STOP NOW…

If I'm not mistaken, these would constitute MACHOs, the leading opponent to WIMPs (dark matter particles) for explaining the missing mass; however, I thought MACHOs were fairly well proven to not exist in large enough quantities to explain a significant portion of said mass. Didn't this blog's physicist-in-residence…

So, I'm sure the author knows this, but I hope the commenters are also aware that the Hubble Volume is named after astronomer Edwin Hubble, after whom the space telescope is also named, rather than being named after the telescope directly.

Certainly, the vast majority of fanfiction is crap. This is not the same as "*all* fanfiction is crap." While I completely understand saying "I'm not going to wade through that cesspool to find the occasional gem," when someone says "I've done the wading and found the gems; you should take a look," you can't just…
