Global Climate Change…

This got posted to reddit.com with a title along the lines of “Pascal’s Wager Applied to Global Warming” which isn’t really what he is using (a grid which works with Pascal’s Wager, but God and Global Warming fall into vastly different “testability” categories), as he states in one of his videos (there are quite a few… check out this link and hit more under the “About This Video” to see the order to watch them in)…

Blake got me interested in finding out more about some of the specifics of Global Climate Change, and this was a very valuable resource for me.. Anyways, enjoy this intro to his series, and check out the rest if you like it… (Bit of a ZeFrank influence, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing…)

Early Randi debunking…

Giant sea scorpions were bigger than previously estimated

SCIENCE ALERT! The fossilized claw of a Jaekelopterus Rhenaniae (giant fucking scorpion) has been found in Germany and is now changing our previous estimates about how large these creatures actually were. These guys hung around in rivers and swamps and had nasty dispositions due to bad skin and lack of school friends. Their mothers were very concerned. More now from the BBC…

“The immense fossilised claw of a 2.5m-long (8ft) sea scorpion has been described by European researchers.

The 390-million-year-old specimen was found in a German quarry, the journal Biology Letters reports.

The creature, which has been named Jaekelopterus rhenaniae, would have paddled in a river or swamp.

The size of the beast suggests that spiders, insects, crabs and similar creatures were much larger in the past than previously thought, the team says.

The claw itself measures 46cm - indicating its owner would have been longer even than the average-sized human.”

Curb Season 6: Best yet?

If you haven’t seen Curb Your Enthusiasm this season i cant blame you. Last season was kind of a bore. But if you have been watching, you know that it has contained some of the best moments ever conceived for the show. Each episode of year 6 (with the exception of some of the first few) have been pure comic gold. I am consistently delighted that they have been able to churn out surprising and fresh episodes of Larry David genius. If you’re looking for great television during the writers strike, do yourself a favor and watch this season’s Curb.

SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER!

If you’re interested, here is the final 2 minutes of the final episode of the season. Absolute gold!
