Way to predict an underwater volcano, scientists! Maybe Coco Chanel was a Nazi (maybe a lot of things). Ancient Egyptians understood the importance of good hair. Here are your wonderful 18th century animal drawings of the day. It is important,…

Fun fact: you’re being totally racist when you talk about what kind of comedy you like. River wolves eeeeee! You ain’t so old moon. 1960s futurescapes. Also, brand new Portuguese ruins.

Stay away from me hyper-aggressive rats! It’s always a good day to think about world’s fairs of the past. Scientifically explaining drunk vision. Literary pets are also wonderful things to talk about.

What do we do now that the shuttles are gone? Party time on mars! Empty gas stations are pretty beautiful (blah blah blah). You know what the best thing is? 60s futuristic Finnish mobile homes. Just kidding, it’s actually Susan…

I am happy to report that I am back in (internet) town and ready for business. I hope this is ok. The most disturbing thing that I’ve seen today is the Russian love doll race (nsfw). Oh man, way to…

I’ll be taking a break for the next two weeks so my band can go on tour, but I promise you you’ll be ok. Another day, another story about the Neanderthal’s demise. Another day, another abandoned German theme park. Seriously,…

It’s important to remember sometimes that basically we don’t know anything. Say hi to our little asteroid buddy. The solution to all our transit woes is SLIDES. It’s always a good day to rethink about what killed the dinosaurs.

Here are some things involving the Milky Way. Are you very afraid of small clusters of holes? Aren’t we all? Perhaps we’ve been thinking about cancer all wrong. Soviet movie posters: also pretty neat. Who wants to go explore a…

Scientists are probably just hoarding all the time travel for themselves. Visualizing a life. There is totally (probably) water on Mars, hella (probable) water. Warning: human jell-o is coming. The one bright spot of the space shuttle program ending is…

Evidently this is the saddest movie ever made (scientifically). Once again, the Onion has called me out. Weird French Nouveau islands. Pneumatic tubes are pretty neat. Holy cow whale sharks!

Fact: there are a lot of time capsules buried under LA. Daily Routines is a pretty neat site. (via Letters of Note.) Have we perhaps found the world’s first question mark? Let’s all look at some old kid’s science kits…

Holy cow, y’all check out Pluto’s new moon? Riding around the universe in Einstein’s tomb. Perhaps you want to build a bomb in the 16th century. Way to x-ray a sloth scientists. It’s nice to think about what might come…
