‘Major discovery’ from MIT primed to unleash solar revolution
Cheech & Chong are back!
So, after 25 years the boys are finally talking about getting back together. Two of the most influential comedians of the 20th century, Cheech and Chong have opened many doors of what can and will be in acceptable culture. Thank God they are settling old grudges and moving on with what they do best together.
Oh, you want a mother fucking shwimp?
Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog
This is epic shit. Joss Whedon teams up with Neil Patrick Harris to make a 3-part short about a low-rent super villain trying to take over the world and get the girl. It’s too bad Captain Hammer keeps getting in his way and saving his precious Penny. This is a musical video-blog about a man who wants to take over the world if only…watch it and find out. In the words of Ilpalazzo, “Think globally, conquer locally.”
If you have an iTunes account, get this. $3.99 for all three episodes. So good. (sorry for the iTunes store plug, I have never actually never bought a video on there before this.)
Is it me or does this “rescue” bot look like a beefed up Wall-e
Clearly this machine is version 0.0.2 of the eat-a-human-turn-him-into-fuel-for-the-robot-uprising series. It all starts as a rescue mission and goes horribly horribly wrong.
What I think is particularly interesting is the similarities to the so-cute-it’s-sickening Wall-e. He’s got the tread, the boxey body, the killer’s instinct.
Ok…maybe it’s a stretch but what do you expect from a guy that looks at the moon and sees the Deathstar?
Psilocybe Research back in the Mainstream
It’s been more than a year since John Hayes, a professor of pastoral counseling at Loyola College, ingested psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms. He claims that the series of three eight-hour highs, administered—in a laboratory-turned-living room at Johns Hopkins Medical School in Baltimore—have made him a calmer, less fearful person. “It gave me this sense that space and time are human constructions that can collapse,” says Hayes, 59. “The ultimate reality is something beyond those constructions, and more importantly, everything in the world is connected.”

The U.S.’s First Offshore Wind Farm…FINALLY
The new wind farm will be built off the coast of Delaware, about 12 miles off the coast. That should decrease the visual distraction significantly as well as help capture those roaring atlantic breezes that average about twice that of on-land wind speeds. The field will be composed of about 150 turbines and will produce enough electricity to power about 100,000 homes at peak output.
