Busy Summer!

Let me just say I am sorry that I haven't had time to post more over the past few months this summer has been crazy busy for me. I have a few posts that I need to finish up; including 2 book reviews, a National Park Series post, and a museum visit. I hope to finish up at least one of those today and should have the rest out by early next week. While you wait here is a comic by SMBC that I missed posting while I was away and below the fold with be two videos by Potholer54, his 2nd and 3rd Golden Crocoduck nominees.

Correlation and Causation

Sometimes while talking with creationists I feel like I have said this multiple times but it doesn't seem they notice. Anyway enjoy today's SMBC.

I am the Spirit of Science

So after the last post I figured I would post something more comical, yesterday's SMBC comic!

Evolution and Thanksgiving

SMBC is at it again this time combining evolution with thanksgiving also dinosaurs because who doesn't love dinosaurs. Yes I know this was posted on their site almost a week ago but I have been busy.

New Twist on a Famous Image

Although it isn't exactly accurate SMBC has a new take on the famous progress of evolution. Make sure you click on it to appreciate the image fully.

Cell Phones

I have discussed a few times in the past the cell phones cause cancer idea, including a small rant in this post, but I think xkcd has it right in their comic from yesterday.

Right Under You

Another great comic by xkcd. Make sure you visit the comic itself and check out the scroll over.

My Childhood Meets the Modern World

Oh xkcd you must live in my mind

We Are All Just Mules

Another good evolution/genetics themed comic from SMBC, from yesterday.

Make Your Own Story

I know I am a day late but this comic, from xkcd, was too good not to share. My fiance is a woman in science and while it isn't bad from most fellow scientists but what comes from those on the outside often leaves you wondering. Remember be yourself and make your own story/future.

Space: At the Current Rate

So I have explained in the past I feel that NASA and space exploration are important to our future. With the Space Shuttle program coming to an end, the last flight of Endeavour will occur once they fix whatever the problem is, xkcd released a comic today showing that by 2035 we will likely have no one alive who has walked on another planet/planetary body/world. Make sure you go to the comic itself and mouse-over the comic, I agree completely with them.

The Future According to the Internet

The Internet is funny, thank you xkcd for putting it all together.

Evolution Joke (Not Family Friendly)

Oh SMBC how you always give me a chuckle especially when you do science based humor.

Sad But True

I wish this xkcd comic wasn't so accurate

Beauty Around Us!

So where do scientists see beauty? According to xkcd it is in everything around us. This is true!

Herpetology is Paraphyletic

Another great comic by xkcd this time explaining how the study of Reptiles and Amphibians in one group, known as Herpetology, is in fact an unnatural grouping and so it is paraphyletic. Make sure you visit their site itself so you can see the comment when you mouse over the comic, lets just say that there is a problem that Aves is a Class while Dinosauria is a Superorder (ironically this is something I covered in the labs I taught this week).

Garfield and Dinosaurs

So the comic doesn't want me to embed it and I assume they wouldn't want me to upload it for copyright reasons so go here to enjoy.

Yay dinosaur references!!!

Evolution Humor

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal comics has to be one of the best nerdy/dorky type humor out there on the web. Today's dealt with evolution and what is known as Sexually Antagonistic Selection but I will let the comic tell the whole story.



Oh nerdy humor I love it.

Something funny

So I know I haven't posted much over the last few weeks but I have driven about 4500 miles over the last 2 weeks so I haven't exactly had time. Now I figured I would share this with all of you:
