Dashing, well-connected man-about-town that I am, I caught a Super Secret and Exclusive pre-screening of Alfonso Cuaron’s new sci-fi flick “Children of Men” last night. You know, the frat-boy’s dream come true dystopian nightmare where women can’t get pregnant anymore? Yeah. First off, let me concur with everyone on Earth that the flick is KILLER. […]

During the course of everyday life one tends to pick up all sorts of factual tidbits from the unlikeliest of places. For instance, prior to watching 12 Monkeys on TBS one Wednesday afternoon, I had no idea that 19th century physician Ignaz Phillipp Semmelweis, who expired within a Viennese sanatorium after suffering a prolonged spell […]

In a brilliantly nefarious feat, a doctoral candidate in cognitive neuroscience used his intricate knowledge of How The Mind Works™ in order to gain a lucrative advantage on the […]

Andrew Sullivan posted a hilarious clip of Richard Dawkins discussing evolution with an increasingly pissy Ted “The Pussyhound” Haggard. Watch as Haggard’s leathery face twists into a grinning mask of hatred and frustration when confronted with scientific facts. Snicker at Haggard’s bitchfit as a surprisingly subdued Dawkins pwns him. Marvel as Haggard takes four male […]
