He is such a sneaky evil bastard.
Skatje is working hard on her thesis in computational linguistics, and might not appreciate a joke about how easy it is.
It’s hard enough that I don’t even understand what she’s doing when she tries to explain it!
That reminds me…I need to stop by the liquor store before Tuesday. Do they still sell Everclear? Can you get it in a five gallon jug?
I know you’re out there! So here’s some helpful advice on how to spider-proof your home. It’s not going to help you much, because in order to show you how to remove spiders, they have to show you a big-ass hairy Australian spider-beast.
You must watch this episode of the Daily Show — it’s all about science. Lisa Randall is on it plugging her new book, Knocking on Heaven’s Door (she actually doesn’t get to say much about it, but I’ve ordered it for my iPad anyway — I know what I’ll be reading on the plane to New Orleans tomorrow), a good section on the recent confirmation of global warming, and my favorite bit of all, Aasif Mandvi blithely leading a chipper Republican operative to agree with the most egregiously ignorant, anti-science claims.
Mandvi: Why are surgeons the only ones allowed to perform surgeries?
Blithering Republican: Absolutely.
Mandvi: Doesn’t make any sense.
BR: It never makes any sense!
Mandvi: and the only other people who can check whether they’re manipulating…
BR: are other scientists!
It also features Marty Chalfie defending himself against accusations of rape.

I think this new birth control method will face the same problem they all do: the wacky abstinence-only crowd will reject it.
But then I had a brilliant idea: instead of making it with a homeopathic dilution of fetuses, I’m going to market a birth control pill made homeopathically from astronomically well-diluted penises. I’ve always wanted to be a billionaire.

Isn’t it obvious that the story of Planet of the Apes is about apes from one planet dominated by apes finding themselves on a planet dominated by apes of a slightly different species?
Also, this comic bugs me a little bit: I’m flying off to give a talk in which I argue that the hallmark of human evolution isn’t brutality and conquest, but cooperation.
