Water on Mars

Looks like there’s a lot of it.

used to work with a guy who would say “They’d Be Growing Tomatoes on Mars before that happens…” as a statement of improbability.

Turns out he may not be quite as outlandish as he thought if we get off our asses and start sending permanent colonists to Mars!

Fun Evening

Went up to Maine last night for a pig roast (Should have got a picture of the porker coming out of the smoker for y’all!)

and some swingin’ tunes of the Wicked Good Band.

They looked more like this last night:

Good times, now onto errands!

“Gun Death” Library Death

What’s the most common weapon in public libraries?

A San Francisco man is under arrest in connection with a bizarre incident at the city’s Main Library branch in which he struck another patron over the head with a chair in an apparently unprovoked attack.

KCBS 5 reports Clifton Moore inexplicably grew enraged and hit a man over the head with a chair Wednesday at the city library system’s Main Branch, located across from City Hall.

In California it isn’t a gun! Also the attacker “Became Enraged” for no reason. Read: CRAZY!

Would you be heartbroken if this monster was shot?

More From the Global Warming Cult

It’s still warming and its still our fault, even if it’s not!

The Earth has changed in “unprecedented ways” since 1950, the U.N. says, and its scientists are 95 percent certain that humans are responsible.

Yet the planet has largely stopped warming over the past 15 years, data shows — and a landmark report released Friday by the U.N.’s climate group could not explain why the Mercury has stopped rising.

Global surface temperatures rose rapidly during the 70s, but have been relatively flat over the past decade and a half, rising only 0.05 degrees Celsius (0.09 degrees Fahrenheit) per decade according to data from the U.K.’s weather-watching Met Office, a trend current models of the world’s climate have been unable to predict. A draft of the report leaked in early September acknowledged that trend and put it bluntly: We simply can’t explain it.

They have NO idea what’s happening and why…but they are 100% sure its our fault. (Only a coincidence that their funding comes from this result)

But a final draft of the report released Friday morning by the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) strips out the failure of models and explains away the downward trend.

“Due to natural variability, trends based on short records are very sensitive to the beginning and end dates and do not in general reflect long-term climate trends,” the new report reads.

A section that suggests volcanoes and solar activity may have affected the warming has also been removed in the final version.

This just in, your creative writing class you take in college will now double as “Scientific Writing 100” in all accredited universities.

Good Foreign Policy Video

Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria are turning me into a LOT more of a Dove than I ever was.

Still this video was really interesting:

I do like the bit about America always fighting the last war. Also I do hate me some John McCain and Barack Obama. Maybe someday we’ll be free of both of them.

Glowing Rats

We were actually planning on doing this exact experiment linking the florescent gene with our study genes in mice. I got two pairs of the florescent mice to breed, and one pair never had babies, and the other pair kept eating their babies.

We don’t have those mice anymore!

“Gun Death” “Bummed”

Via Wallphone, its a scan of a newspaper posting…

Something about being “Bummed to death by a Zebra”. I can’t even make heads or tails of it. The officials who recovered the body suspect he was mistaken for a female Zebra because of his shit-pattern. (possibly “Shirt pattern” unsure)

Let your imagination wander on that one. No guns…but what was used to kill is…well I’m glad I don’t know!

WOW!
