So I found this interesting quote on the Internet, from a 1932 essay by Winston Churchill:
“Fifty years hence we shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium.”

His vision didn’t quite come to pass, being as how in […]

So this molecular biologist guy just came up with caffeinated donuts and bagels. I’m not really sure it’s a good idea to do that to breakfast foods, being as how many people already eat such items alongside a cup of coffee. It’s like making coffee with caffeinated water (as seen on an episode of “The […]

So I did this online IQ test, but having been scammed once already by an IQ test, I decided to see if this one was legit by simply selecting the last answer to each multiple-choice question. And this is what my score was:

So my sister is in town, but leaving on the morning of Christmas Eve. This evening we decided to do an early gift exchange, opening one each. The package she let me open contained 5 DVDs: Aeon Flux, the first Resident Evil, and V for Vendetta, as well as the The Office Complete Second Series […]
