A metric ton of funnies and other stuff...

I've had some tabs open for a while in Firefox... months actually... I hope you enjoy them all! I may have sent some before, if so, laugh again!

Might I recommend the Firefox add-on "Linky?" And this is a great start: http://comixed.memebase.com/2011/11/16/koma-comic-strip-nope-not-chuck-testa  ;)

Einstein Win

Love this illustration...

Sad that I was able to follow most of that paper too - I recognize those equations from some of my old classes. Also sad that nobody realized this before because it is pretty basic level QM; applying Lorentz corrections was half the class it seems. And GPS satellites (and your receivers) need to account for relativistic measurements all the time.

I also remember hearing about the Michelson-Morley experiments in the classes, but don't think I've seen that awesome paper title before: "On the relative motion of the earth and luminiferous ether."

Yeah, I looked that up just now - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminiferous_aether

I think "I know" is prolly Ford's best... even tho I've also heard Indy shooting the sword guy with a gun was also improv, I don't think there was dialog, he just had the flu. ;)

I dunno if it will be in HD, I don't see why not. Science Channel is re-broadcasting Firefly with that crazy astrophysicist Michio Kaku (Kitty calls him "Science Channel's Whore") adding episode-specfic scientific commentary. Starts Sunday Mar 13.

Don't go there guys. Apparently it's been hacked and has some drive-by malware. I've been working on cleaning the wife's machine for about an hour and counting :/

Awesome Half-Life movie

This makes me think how the mods came out a few years back and everybody was like "Valve needs to hire these guys!" - well, Hollywood needs to hire these guys.

Even if you're not familiar with the video game (shameful!) it's an amazing short these guys put together.

Shame! - http://www.neatorama.com/2011/01/25/the-united-states-of-shame/

For "Shame" somebody asked the author why no DC - "Actually, I had to leave DC out because they were the absolute WORST at so many things (it would have left fewer things to assign to other states). Basically, they have the highest rate of murder, drug use, crime and much more."

Snowblower Warning

I've never heard of this before... be sure to read it, it is not as
obvious as it sounds!

http://consumerist.com/2011/01/dont-unclog-a-snowblower-with-your-hand.html

One Quote:
Additionally, there is a 50% chance that both valves on the engine
were closed when the engine stopped (depending on where it was in the
engine's cycle). This can, in turn, mean that there are compressed
gasses pressing against the piston. This, in turn, is good for up to a
half-turn of the crank shaft. This half-turn could go either
direction; which direction depending on whether the engine was in its
"compress" or "power" phase. It won't do this if it is in "intake" or
"exhaust" phase, as one valve will be open, relieving any pressure.

It gets more complex if the engine has more than one cylinder.
