Sri-Lanka Tsunami

Sri-Lanka Tsunami
  • These are before and during satellite shots of the Sri-Lanka Tsunami.
  • This thorough debunking Senator Inhofe’s400 Global Warming Deniers was expected, and while it’s sad that Inhofe continues to abuse the truth, it’s was nice to see his latest tactic almost completely ignored in the media.
  • A large Hydrogen Cloud will Collide With the Milky Way in less that 40 million years, which will kick off a flurry of star birth in our galactic neighborhood.
  • This octopus loves his Mr Potato Head, and fights off attempts to take it away.
  • A fossil-hunter who finds Dinosaur tracks in a D.C. suburb.
  • Despite the fact that Bill Gates has helped far more people than Mother Theresa, our Moral Instinct, puts Theresa on top.

    1. You know, I always thought Mother Theresa was a bit of a bitch.

      And I love the toy-loving octopus.

    3. The Moral Instinct was a great read, and judging by what you said about it, you didn’t read it at all at the time you posted it here. Might have now, but didn’t before hand :p
