Tormnock's Travels, Excerpt I
Use it to write the great American novel! Or the not-so-great American novel!
An excerpt from the late Horton Torston’s unfinished masterpiece, Tormnock’s Travels: A Science Fiction Fantasy eCommerce Epic:
The giant snake, if one might refer to it as thus despite its heads being not singular but a-plenty, spoke in a low but magnificent hiss, from all seven of its serpentine mouthlets, “Hello, handsome Tormnock! How finds you this lovely day?”
“Monster know Tormnock’s name?” thought Tormnock aloud.
“Oh, Tormnock, I’ve got a bad feeling about this!” said Princess Horknost, quiveringly.

Music Monday: Science Songs
Happy Music Monday! On this day in 1633, Galileo recanted his heresy. What's more scientific than admitting your theory was wrong, eh? Scott's gathered five great songs about science. After he's done, see if you can reproduce his results in the comments. Then he'll get tenure maybe!
Despite the name, this lovely song is about director Nicolas Roeg, not Einstein. Still, it doesn't get more scientific than E=MC2. That's like the "just do it" of science.
More after the jump. See if you can predict what they are from the data you've already collected.

New is such a strange term, isn't it? What does "new' and "refurb" really mean?
Like, when Columbus sailed the ocean blue and found the "new world" out there... was it really new? Or if tomorrow we found a new planet... would it be? Like, that planet was always there, right? And yet, people would call it new because we hadn't seen it before. This is something you should keep in mind when you see the status on today's projector.

A Parable
There's a story about a wise fox and some pebbles. There's no story about a wise fox and some apples.
More or less, the story goes that the a thirsty fox came across a jar just barely filled with water. The wise fox threw some pebbles down the jar, and the water level raised higher and higher until the fox could drink. And that's because the fox was wise. There's another story about a crow who thought he'd look cooler by throwing apples into the jar. Ever heard that story? No? There's a reason why.
The reason is, sometimes it's smarter to use the easier and less expensive solution. The fox got some pebbles for less, and they worked just as well or better than those expensive apples! The fox was happy! The crow was not!
There's a lesson in that, you know.
The Debunker: Did Deep Throat Tell Woodward and Bernstein to "Follow the Money"?
The most beloved show in television history about daytime drinking, Mad Men, just wrapped up its eight-year run, with Don Draper and his ad-pitching peers marching boldly into the 1970s. For past Mad Men seasons, Ken Jennings of Jeopardy! fame has helped us debunk some persistent myths from the 1950s and the 1960s so we've asked him to keep on truckin' and do us a solid by debunking some "Me Decade" misinformation as well. It turns out that a lot of what we think we know about the seventies is pretty "far out."
