I’m a big fan of the scientific method. Great stuff. Better than Cats. And as such, I’ve been wracking my brain during non-peak cycles to try and figure out if Intelligent Design is falsifiable.
Quick explanation for those who aren’t down with falsifiability: a philosopher by the name of Karl Popper came [...]
First, there was pie.
Now, there’s pie 2.
When does it end? Dear god, when does it end?
Heh heh heh. I just found the Cyborg Name gizmo by way of Spoon’s blog.

Workout news: I did my first strength training exercise with Maya today and my arms [...]

Well, they are still in prison:
Bitch Ph.D.
Okay, we know that the weapons programs didn’t exist now. Perhaps there’s a good reason for holding these people anyway. Can we hold a fucking [...]
Wow. I had no idea.
When I was a kid, I was in pretty good shape. I rode my bike, did martial arts, kept up with all the physical fitness routines in Boy Scouts. But I just got my ass kicked by a short training ride an 15-minute workout at the hands of [...]
