J-SQUARED FOR ALLLLLLLL!
And a few more items from the depths of the interwebz...
The reddit link reads, "Douchebag lady kills elephant with a bow for a bet." Yep, that about sums it up. I'll see your "douchebag" and raise you a "WTF?!?!?"
In other news, I'm not sure why "douchebag" has become an accepted insult again. I picked it up from reading J-Squared fiction -- apparently Jensen and Jared like to say "douchebag," or writers just imagine that they would -- but I don't know how the rest of the world got on the bandwagon. Unless... *gasp* THE REST OF THE WORLD IS READING J-SQUARED FICTION TOO. I KNEW IT.
Discover magazine has the best NASA satellite photos from the last 50 years. Zounds! The solar storms nearly blew my mind. I sort of expected John Crichton to come rocketing out of the middle.
Apparently graphene is like... really awesome? I don't understand chemistry, you guys. Or micro-anything. If it's smaller than an actual multi-cellular organism, I just tend to not be interested. Or in any way comprehend. I'm sorry. I'm leaving all interpretation/commentary on this news item to you. Suffice it to say that this is probably another important step to flying cars, which at this point are LONG OVERDUE. (Are you listening, science? WHERE IS MY FLYING CAR?)
This sign should read, "Watch for Signs."
On a much less light-hearted note, there's a new documentary coming out about Japanese dolphin slaughter, and dolphin captivity in general. It's also a story about Richard O'Barry, who trained the dolphins for the TV show Flipper and later became an "abolitionist for dolphins." Very interesting stuff. I recommend not reading the comments, though. No, seriously. Don't read the comments. You won't know what that one guy was talking about and you will absolutely not want to know.
And okay, whoever said that thing about the 16-year-old and the Patriot Act smelled fishy, the law enforcement types are saying he's not being held under the Patriot Act. Damn it! How am I supposed to formulate my conspiracy theories when the authorities don't play along?! Foiled again.
But surely this one is a joke: Canada considering the inclusion of seal skin on Olympic uniforms "to promote seal products." Oh, Canada. I love you, but that is f'ed up and stupid. The reason you need to promote seal products is because nobody wants them, and the seal hut is ridiculous. What you need to do instead is create jobs for all those out of work fishermen -- you know, the ones who were out of work after your cod fishery collapsed and so you gave them clubs and told them go kill seals instead? Them. Give them like... real jobs. Or just put them on the dole and tell them to stay home. I don't care. I just don't see why it's the fault of seals. They really don't need to be bludgeoned to death, honest. Please write your MPs and tell them to stop being such jack-offs. See above re: dolphin slaughter. Just. Being. Stupid.
Okay, that's all. For sure.
