And lots of science blogs do post pictures of kittens (my favorite is Why Evolution Is True – which features pictures of kittens and cats every Saturday). And there’s lots of other great science stuff on the other science blogs too – internet polls, Catholic communion wafers, Mormon clothing, creationist museums, Canadian politics; the list is endless It’s all science. It’s all light years ahead of those boring Mr. Wizard shows of my generation. And, borrowing a phrase from another science blog, these new science subjects may be called “random ejaculations”, to use proper scientific terms. And you would be surprised at how much science is to be found within the words random and ejaculation (much of the general public is unaware of the detailed meanings). Reminds me of years ago, at the drive in movies, which were always double features, and had a break of about 15 minutes between the movies. I used to turn to my date and say “Look! It’s intromission time”; but she never got the scientific meaning of my pun. Today’s students would get it – thanks to the science blogs. Yes, it’s all science. But getting back to this photo; I can write some really great captions and dialogue balloons that really help to bring out the science involved. “So, is this science?” – Yes, it is science.

What is the point here? At least try and make it science and give some kind of link to some study or something. Might as well post pictures of kittens for no reason too. So, is this science?
