Rebecca Black, making paper, having her moment [VIDEO]

I have absolutely no ill will towards Rebecca Black. In fact, she's fantastic. Pop radio is FILLED with mediocre singers these days, who get by on Image and Controversy rather than actual, you know, talent. Black just seems like a normal teenager with a normal voice having a great time. If you genuinely have a problem with that, and you're not principled enough to start a straight-edge punk band or join a hippie commune, get a life.

Catching Up: Rubber

This is why, most likely, we are friends. Because I bring you movie trailers for films about sentient (possibly murderous) tires.



Well done, internet, for bringing this to our attention.

Quite possibly my favorite church of all time

I have a feeling that this is Andy Sikora's new church and he's just messing with us.

The Walking Dead

This is an actual, factual, honest-to-God, T-Vee series.



Good job, AMC!

Dinosaurs Lie To Get What They Want!

How do we get back at astronomers for taking away Pluto?

If this is true, then what else is untrue?

Morph-osaurs: How shape-shifting dinosaurs deceived us (NewScientist.com)

Dinosaurs were shape-shifters. Their skulls underwent extreme changes throughout their lives, growing larger, sprouting horns then reabsorbing them, and changing shape so radically that different stages look to us like different species.

This discovery comes from a study of the iconic dinosaur triceratops and its close relative torosaurus. Their skulls are markedly different but are actually from the very same species, argue John Scannella and Jack Horner at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana.

....

[Mark] Goodwin says the recent work is convincing and will mark a major shift in the field: palaeontologists must now factor in extreme changes in skull shape or risk misunderstanding evolutionary relationships and overestimating dinosaur diversity. Ignore physical development in dinosaur palaeontology "at your peril", he warns.

This is why science is so awesome, and so frustrating, all at the same time. It's also why I need a personal scientist on call 24/7 for followup questions and independent verification of purported facts.

That is quite the cast...

For your consideration: The Avengers

This has disaster written all over it, as Whedon's best works are those created by Joss and Joss alone (O Dollhouse, you had your chance, you blew it), but I will be following every little scrap of info about this movie from now until whenever it should hit theatres.

Additionally, Jeremy Renner looks like he just won the lottery. Love it.

Louis CK and the Bomb of Truth

Louis C.K. is definitely not everyone's cup of tea. But he's earl grey for me (tea jokes, man are you glad you found this blog or what!), so his appearance on the Daily Show last night was amazing. Unfortunately, it was only about five minutes long. Fortunately, it's five minutes of funny. If you decide not to sit through the whole thing, I understand. It's completely NSFW and about as crude as you can get on Comedy Central. That being said, there's an off the cuff remark about the pope at about 4:26 that I've watched four or five times and is still not unfunny. And it's only that way because his elaboration on the Catholic sex scandal completely and totally true. And that's why I love Louis CK.

Again, NSFW. Seriously.
