I looked for these the other day in the store. Turns out they stopped making them…11 years ago.
Because if I stay home, today will never be remembered.

These are my best friends. This is how they dressed for the Avengers midnight premier.
Japan introduces the world to Shiri, the most realistic robotic ass ever created
Of course Japan would be the country to invent an incredibly life-like robotic ass that expresses emotion through its ass cheek muscles. Built by Nobuhiro Takahashi and a team at the Tokyo University of Electro-Communications, this is Shiri. Shiri, of course, means buttocks in Japanese, and the researchers claim that it “represents emotions with visual and tactual transformation of the muscles”. Right.
Caroline, dat ass
A young man of a religious family goes to the university, say, and studies science. As a consequence of his study of science, he begins, naturally, to doubt as it is necessary in his studies. So first he begins to doubt, and then he begins to disbelieve, perhaps, in his father’s God… . He learns to doubt, that it is necessary to doubt, that it is valuable to doubt. So he questions everything… . The result of this self-study or thinking, or whatever it is, often ends with a conclusion that is very close to certainty that there is a God. [But] it often ends, on the other hand, with the claim that it is almost certainly wrong to believe in God.
-Richard Feynman
One of the most important and life altering things I was taught in college was that I am capable of questioning everything in this life. None of us should accept truth based on another’s words. We all have the responsibility to discover for ourselves what is true.

Out of the cradle onto dry land, here it is standing: atoms with consciousness; matter with curiosity. Stands at the sea, wonders at wondering: I a universe of atoms, an atom in the universe

Today would have been Richard Feynman’s 94th birthday
One of my favorite physicists. Apparently he was about to have a further operation for cancer and had recently received a letter from Linus Pauling telling to take more vitamin C to cure his cancer. This is his response.
