I'm glad the cyclist seems to be okay, and the asshole driver was caught, but I think it's insane to ride a bike in traffic. I know you're supposed to instead of cycling in the pedestrian lanes, but there's so many more inattentive drivers than this one, and the results are often so much worse. Am I a bad person for riding my bike on the sidewalk when the bike lane goes through traffic?

I thought sloths are supposed to carry a colony of mosses in their fur. It seems like shampooing them would kill it and damage their health. It's not like they get a scrub-down in the wild, why do they do this?

I'd try one of those, if I could get it with real cheese, instead of American. Especially if the pepper-jack version can be called something other than a Tebow.

Not a big leap of reasoning. Birds that nest on cliff sides often lay eggs that are nearly conical, so they have an even shorter rolling radius.

Yup. That would be a deal-killer for me, even if I needed the job. They'd have to pay me an insanely high salary to put up with working for Big Brother. Aside from the fact that I don't & won't ever have a Facebook account.
I wonder what company this is? It seems like such a request would or should be illegal, particularly if it's a serious requirement for hiring.

If I drank bloody marys, I'd totally go for this. If you don't like it, you can suck on my meat straw. I mean that in the nicest possible way...

I'm guessing it's a jack for leveling a camper, or some other vehicle that needs to be level.

Any calculations on how many tons of material we add from micro- and larger meteorites? I bet it's more than we lose.

It is incorrect to say that the Twinkie has an infinite shelf life. What it has is actually a half-life of 50 years or so, as it gradually turns to lead.

Dear gods! Lucas really did it, huh? He took two of the very worst developments of the last decade; Phantom Menace & 3D, and combined them? Is anyone actually going to pay to see that crap?
...probably yes. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Thank you io. I was going to say the same thing. A crystal made out of something other than carbon is not a "real diamond," even if it has a similar structure. The beetle is definitely cool, and it would be nice to know the properties of these crystals. Can they be synthesized? Do they have industrial applications? Medical? Could I get my girlfriend some bug crystal earrings for her birthday?

Umm... Carbon date a stone? It looks lie granite, which hardly contains carbon at all, unless it's contaminated with something organic from the garden, in which case you can expect the results to indicate last year. Which carbon dating can't do either.

Burger King would do well to air that commercial here, en-edited, Russian rap lyrics & all. I haven't eaten at BK in well over a decade, but watching that actually made me crave a whopper! I didn't think such a thing was possible!

Is that a full-sized Cube? Holy shit! I had no idea the mantis shrimp was that large! I thought they were a couple inches long, but that would be lobster-sized unless that's a tiny cube. Their bullet-claws are even more dangerous than I realized.

Yeah, roundshot was useless for ground war, but that's why they used grapeshot cannisters, sometimes with a ball behind it. Try to imagine that fired into a tightly-packed column of troops. Yikes!
