as they say… perhaps Schrödinger’s Cat is the key to Theory Of Everything, no lucky rabbit’s foot required and all this hadron speeding around CERN.

[...] are so many humor-impaired people out there: that was a joke! I’m kidding. I love biologists; without them I’d have nothing to make fun of at all without it being [...]

@Blake Stacey:

I joined the livejournal group a couple of months ago, but it wasn’t very active, so I decided to run “LOLScience” up the flickr flagpole and see if anyone saluted it. I guess they have. And I’m more than pleased by how many like minds have jumped in, both on flickr and on livejournal, and how many blogs – including Scientific American’s 60-Second Science, at least 3 of Seed’s science blogs, and a number of personal blogs – as well as New Scientist Magazine – have come out to playI

teh seekrit is out: SCIENCE IS TEH FU-U-U-U-U-UN-NE-E-E-E-E-EH!

I’m going to out myself. I’m the guilty party responsible for the Rise of the Dreaded LOLScience on flickr.

I also plead guilty to being way too amused by LOLstuff, maybe because it’s so silly and idiotic.

Whatever. A couple of months ago I tagged four of my flickr posts with “LOLScience,” and just for the hell of it I did a search a couple of days later for the tag and my four were the only ones that came up. So I said, “I can fix that,” and set up the flickr group.

When New Scientist joined a couple of weeks later, it shocked my socks off! I figured I’d pull in a few scientists, a few scientists-by-training like myself, and a few curious LOLsters from among flickr members, but that was about all. Glad to see there are more scientists-with-the-sillies out there besides me!

p.s. Phil, you rock!

[...] familiar with the general stuff, so don’t expect me to be specific. I am working off my book (conveniently pictured in the BA’s blog!) so if I get it wrong it’s my fault. All photoreceptors require an two protiens [...]

That’s my biology book! How’d it…oh.

Darn publishers printing more than one copy…

That really is the edition–should be six–that I used for General Biology about three years ago now. We did all thousand something pages (it was alot, I’m not going to look it up right now) and thirty…chapters in 10 weeks one summer. Probably the most intense class I’ve ever taken, but very well worth it.

Now if I could just find a good physics book and teacher…I wonder if the cat has a physics book. Maybe a hard one to hold the door open?
