We don’t often get many submissions from complete strangers but when we do I pay attention. Cassandra sent us the link to her blog with this comment: It’s my blog and I will be uploading my thoughts on all things sci-fi with a onus on proving useful info to folks. After watching it grow for a while I decided to post it. As I’ve said before, it’s a rare gem to find women who love science fiction as much as the blokes, and Cassandra obviously does. Visit her site and give her a hard time about her recent series about scifi men she loves!

What the World Eats

Interesting little photo essay by Time that shows what various families around the world eat in a week, and how much they spend on it. Wow, some of that is pathetic, either because they have so little or because they have so much junk food!

Funny Ads

OK, not the FUNNIEST ever, but it was decided when I saw the urinals … not sure what’s being advertised, but how come my toilets don’t come with games?

DARPA - Where Mad Science is Good Science!

We’ve already talked about the “Gay Bomb” and the robot teddy-bear medic but did you know about the remote controlled sharks? What about the nuclear powered hand grenade, or the Jean Grey style telekinesis, or force shields, or the smart suit that performs battlefield surgery right when you get shot?
