I mean, LOLCats was severely dumb and stupid but nobody’s doing that any more, right? I hope. AG’s cat (though a little badly drawn) is thoroughly in the spirit of Snark Week and has the attitude nailed: if you think soft cuddly Nature loves you and is your friend, you’re not paying close enough […]
Our continuing public service for those trusting souls who think animals are cute and loving: a full week of the horrifying truth. I grew up on a small farm where we raised chickens. I didn’t always think they were repulsive. When I was around 10, I had a 4-H project for which I raised chickens […]
I really have nothing to add here. The storyline is complete. Except I don’t see why Barbie’s expectations are unrealistic, given her great age and many capabilities — doctor Barbie, babysitter Barbie, pilot Barbie, yoga teacher Barbie, princess Barbie. And why not, though the mind boggles somewhat, a Girl Bilbo Barbie? She’s almost a sort […]
July 14 – 18, 2014 First we domesticated our pets, says guest David Grimm, and then over a long, long period of time, they civilized us. For which, thank goodness.

They’re spiral galaxies in the process of running into and through each other. This is a photograph by the Hubble Space Telescope; the galaxies are really there; this is real. You could think […]
Oh this is just purely awful in so many ways. Let me count them. Its humor is dumb & puns are always in the very worst taste. It’s bloody & I hate that. It’s not only clever, worse, it’s close to addictive. The mouseover apologizes, says this is the best he could do on short […]
[NOW WITH NEW VISUALIZATION: see below] Planets around other stars, exoplanets, have given me a long-running case of boredom – how long can you sustain OMG LOOKIT THAT PLANET HAS TWO SUNS? not long. I keep writing about them anyway. I do it because 1) sometimes somebody pays me to; and 2) the planets may […]
I never watched mad scientist movies, except maybe Dr. Strangelove, and I don’t have a clue what biologists do. But Abstruse Goose here just seems to be describing real life. Sad. Not very.
