Ketchup Bear March 28th, 2002 @ 10:13 am PST
This guy made a huge bear statue out of ketchup packets, thinking it’d look like it was bleeding when he shot it. It didn’t quite work out. I guess the science of constructing ketchup-packet bears still has a ways to go. link via Pop Culture Junk Mail

Three Gorges Dam March 27th, 2002 @ 3:25 am PST
A few weeks ago I finished reading The Best American Science Writing 2001. It’s a marvelous collection of all the “best” essays written on scientific topics from last year. One article, “Running Dry” by Jacques Leslie, really shocked me. It’s all about the depletion of the Earth’s freshwater and the (disastrous) effects damming has had […]
Discovery Channel Reminders March 27th, 2002 @ 3:10 am PST
The Discovery Channel web site is really excellent. They are doing so many things right. If you join their ‘community’ you can have them eMail you reminders when certain episodes or specials are going to air. What a terrific idea!

If Blake was not simply stoned out of his mind, then what explanation can there be for this troubling work?

Non-Fiction Addiction March 26th, 2002 @ 12:59 am PST
Good gravy! I’ve been suffering from a severe case of non-fiction addiction lately. I managed to grab three of the five Oscar movies over the weekend, but otherwise for the last month or so I’ve watched almost nothing that wasn’t on TLC, Discovery, or A&E. I’ve seen specials on mummies, temples, “the Iceman”, pyramids, tombs, […]
