So, there’s a new Star Trek movie coming out. Some critics are saying that it’s awesome or something.

I don’t care. You know why?

Of course you do: I’m against this movie. Read more

Man that looks insane picked to have best job in the world

Really, when you think about karma and fate and all of that other stuff, ultimately, it makes perfect sense.

On the plus side, no one will have to worry about when he’ll go insane, killing everyone and everything on Hamilton Island and then bathing in his own fecal matter. He’ll probably have already taken care of that by the third day.

You better hope the carpet never matches the drapes

Hey you! Is your carpet boring? Dead? Is it comprised of nothing more than fibers made of useless plastic that absorbs your Cheetos crumbs like a black hole? Welllll, worry no more, citizen! Thanks to the work of Japanese flower based artist Makoto Azuma, we now have a biodegradable moss planter carpet. This carpet was featured in the 2009 Milan Furniture Fair within the Tokyo Fiber Sensware exhibition. It is created by planting moss on another carpet.

The science: This is no ordinary plastic fiber, but a plant-derived plastic that can be decomposed by microorganisms; though it will take 10 years to fully decompose into carbon dioxide and water.

Even more science: Basically the moss will eat the plastic over time as its food, while removing excess C02 from your house. It doesn’t say anything about walking on this carpet, and from the looks of it, that’s probably not a feature.

At this point, it appears to just be a show piece, plus something to help clean up the air along the way. Those of you with dogs should be careful though, expect lots of urine mistakes. Heh. Urine.

The animals are upping their efforts to attack, they have enlisted the frogs to create hundreds of new species to have pawns on the front lines. But while enlisting the frogs, the animals have made their worst mistake yet by letting us know who their ally is, the French.

Booze your way to a healthy heart

We already know that alcohol is good for us, but scientists aren’t convinced yet. Science loves studying booze, primarily because it gives them something to talk about at the bar (“Hey baby, did you know that the damage to your liver isn’t as bad as we thought it was?”), and it’s more fun than curing diseases.

Now, a study at Harvard University, lead by Dr. Kenneth Noisewater Mukamal will see if drinking once a day (by which they mean one drink a day) helps prevent heart disease. Subjects will be given Crystal Light lemonade with grain alcohol, which I had last night, while others will just get the lemonade. First one to heart disease wins.
