A friend of mine, let’s call her Susie. She’s married to Brad. It’s is his birthday soon, and she wants to do some­thing special. She wants to make a video for him.

Tell me this guy isn’t awesome. I don’t care what anyone else says. This man is awesome and I want to dance and whistle just like him. I know the guy’s not really Whistling Jack Smith, but I don’t know his precise identity, so I shall simply call him Whistling Jack Smith.

I was watching Edward Scis­sorhands and wondered why it’s always the sensitive guy with a good heart that has to suffer the inequities of the world, namely […]

I was watching the Spider-Man trilogy in glorious HD the other day and I started thinking about the science behind super­heroes. I remem­bered that there was some book written on just that topic. Feeling somewhat lazy, I just asked ChaCha to find me the most popular book on super­heroes and science. They gave me James Kakalios’s “The Physics […]
