Episode CXIII: The “Go away, I’m busy” thread

The thread of bloat has swollen to horrendous dimensions while I’m distracted! Must quickly throw in a new sponge to soak up the torrent.

Here, just to keep you occupied…this is some sketch comedy produced by a couple of students here at UMM. It’s a weird premise — it’s about a couple of students in the 1990s who find a magical closet to transport them to 2010 — but you’ll actually be able to see what living in Morris is like. Sorta.

Somebody should have mentioned to them, though, that nothing in Morris has changed much since 1890.

Episode CXII: Ask a scientist an awkward question…

The permanent thread could use a little amusement, and this video offers it. Ask a scientist whether they believe in god, and what you get is an I-can’t-believe-you-asked-me-that look; ask them about their work, and they get all enthusiastic and passionate. That’s fairly universal among any group of scientists.
