The Last Word

By: Sally Adee | February 16, 2013

Alligator eye11 – 15 February

This week, Erik had a fascinating look at the people who think wind turbines are making them ill.

Cameron explained why alligators never have to worry about shrinkage.

Abstruse Goose neatly captured the infinite regress that tortures us science writers.

I told you how gross bugs do Valentine’s day.

And Richard investigated why the human brain treats time like a Slinky.

See you next week.
