When all of those babies are born next October, we can blame the great SOPA and PIPA Internet blackout.

Harrison Ford Agrees to 'Ender's Game':

Harrison Ford will play Hyram Graff in the film adaptation of Ender’s Game.

Decent choice. Plus it puts Ford back out into space where he belongs.

Early demo of Lagwagon’s Know It All recorded in ‘93.

Total effing pioneers of the 90s punk “sound.”

Good call on cutting that extra bridge and verse, though.

This is the tale of two toys with two very different fates. The Teddy Bear, named after the charismatic president Theodore Roosevelt, was a sensation in the early twentieth century. It even displaced baby dolls as the top toy in all of the United States, but no one thought it would last. The burgeoning mass-market toy industry thought the bear was a novelty that would die out once Teddy Roosevelt left office in 1909. So the powers that be went on the search for the next cuddly companion that America’s children would adore. It was completely logical that they looked at the next president for inspiration, Roosevelt’s handpicked successor, William Howard Taft. In 1909, the toy makers of America placed their bets on the Taft presidency’s answer to the Teddy Bear: the Billy Possum.

LUCA - Our Last Universal Common Ancestor:

Theories about our 3 billion year old ancestor that we share with every other organism on the planet.

Sounds like something out from Orson Scott Card.

From his funeral- the Muppeteers give a little taste of what recording songs with Jim Henson was like. About fifteen minutes long, but worth your time. If you don’t want to tear up, stop watching after fourteen minutes.

It’s been over twenty years and he’s still missed. Looking forward to the new Muppet movie.
