Video of a Chemical Party
Chemistry class would have been even more fun (seriously kids, why would I have majored in this if it *wasn't* fun? Things go boom, things catch on fire, things change color, things smell funny).
I do fondly remember my thesis advisor in freshman chem likening entropy levels to a room full of kindergartners: High entropy=kids running around, low entropy=same kids on valium (or naptime, if you don't want to do sedation)

Somebody figured out how long it would take 1000 vampire chupacabra-esque hummingbirds to devour a human being.
Inquiring minds wanted to know, and you can blamewcg for pointing me to the answer.

Feb. 24th, 2009 09:16 pmhat tip to Making Light for these fun knitting-related comics and a video:
How does the cartoonist know what's in my jump bag?
The person who creates Little Dee has *got* to be a knitter. Also, a priceless Little Dee video, "We Rogues of Wool".

Squirrel wars, part two

Jan. 31st, 2007 10:14 pmDamn it, my political muse is gone. After Ann Richards died last year, I was hoping to have Molly around longer. Now I have to console myself with the vision of imagining Ann and Molly stirring up heaven for good causes.
One of my friends in Austinfearless777 got me a signed copy of "You Got to Dance With Them What Brung You" and the caption exhorted me to "keep fightin' for freedom!".

Jul. 29th, 2006 09:05 pmWhile at the end of Blogher cocktail party, my neighbor and I were musing about the hidden jokes for adults that are in things like the Simpsons and old Warner Bros. cartoons, and we came up with a challenge.
