I was furiously downloading the photographic gorgeosity from Michael Poliza’s Flickr page, when I found this awesome photo called, um, “hard work.” Think Nat Geo crossed with Boogie Nights outtakes. SFW, but only b/c it’s Science.
Oh, and he’s got a bit of snuff too. Elton John, eat your bloody baby elephant trunk out.

Man, I really hate it when I read an awesome science article on the homepage of Pee Wee Herman’s evil eunuch doppelganger. But awesome it is.
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 […]

After his encounter with an apple Sir Isaac Newton discovered the law of gravity. Now it’s your turn. What you […]

As NYC continues to choke on its own salty sweat, Gawker (our new BFF - watch this space for less science, more Lohan!) notes an oddly magnanimous gesture from Omni Consumer ProductsStarbucks: Free iced coffee today!
But before you shiv that dude in front of you in line to get one step closer to your sweet, […]
