Simulating the early lives of galaxies in the lab
While it’s nearly impossible to see the exact conditions under which galaxies formed, scientists can kinda sorta reproduce very similar conditions in the laboratory to better understand how dust and energy slowly turns into stars and planets and comets.
Researchers at the Laboratoire pour l’Utilisation de Lasers Intenses (LULI), along with colleagues at various universities, have...

With Blackberry failing, RIM tries to appeal to...
Blackberry used to be super hot shit til the iPhone and Android showed up and suddenly Research in Motion just couldn’t hack it. Shitty phones, a shitty OS, a shittier tablet. So what do you do when your once mighty company is on the ropes? Why not hire a graphic designer to create four ugly fucking superheroes to try and appeal to kids? Why the fuck not?
When most people think RIM, they...

As if you thought Candyland was going to suck...
Battleship is a stupid idea for a movie and Candyland is an even stupider idea. But how does one make sure you absolutely fuck up any hope Candyland had of even being appealing to infants? Cast Adam Sandler. Every time he screams “GIMME SOME CANDAY!”, you get to punch the person in front of you in the theater in the back of the head.
Oh, and Sandler is going to write it.

Zapping your balls with ultrasound can stop sperm...
For decades, scientists have been looking at safe male contraceptive options similar to the birth control pill, and as it turns out, it may be as easy as giving your balls a zap of ultrasound.
A study on rats published in Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology showed that sound waves could be used to reduce sperm counts to levels that would cause infertility in humans. Researchers described...

Please don’t electrocute me.
While Florida seems to have a near lockdown on batshit crazy in the US, occasionally some crazy leaks out to other places such as Illinois, where a convict helped authorities unravel a bizarre murder for hire plot that involved carjacking, a stripper and electrocution by cat.
Brett L. Nash, 45, of 43 Shirlwin Drive in Granite City, was arraigned in federal...

Poll of the Week: Who would make a good GOP VP...
So I’ve been pretty slow on making new polls, but I’m sure you’ll get over it. Oh look, here’s a new one. It’s fun and topical. With the GOP race looking pretty much like a two man race between Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney at this point, who would make a good GOP VP pick?

The first test flight of the Orion rocket and capsule has been pushed back to 2014 from an original launch date of next year, which pushes any sort of manned flight in the new rocket to 2021. Well there goes Newt’s plans for a moon base by 2020.
When NASA does finally do a fest flight, we’re expecting to see the capsule launch from Cape Canaveral, loop around the planet twice at...

In these rarely seen color photos of Hitler’s office in Berlin, his apartment in Berlin and his Bavarian retreat, the Fuhrer had some expensive tastes. Not that you would expect anything less from someone who murdered millions to try and rule all of Europe.

Daily Discussion: Your favorite album covers
I had this discussion planned for several days, and I was going to put Weasels Ripped My Flesh by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, and while I love that album cover, I got Die Antwoord’s new album, Ten$ion yesterday and been listening to it a lot in the past 24 hours and it just happens to have an awesome fucking cover. So as much as I love Zappa, I wanted to let you know that...

Anonymous asked: Groundhog's Day is Thursday. I moved to the area in 2000 and I curse the day I did. People around here idolize this varmint and I can assure you, it is NOWHERE near like the movie. Western PA is an evil, racist, bigoted area. I plan on shutting myself in for the day. Any suggestions to occupy my time?

Doctors are testing Special K as a depression...
Ketamine, also known as Special K, is popular among some club goers because of its mood elevating properties and now scientists have taken note, and have been testing the drug as an instant depression remedy.
Conventional anti-depressants like Prozac are effective but take weeks, if not months, to stabilize a patient’s brain chemistry. They work by boosting serotonin levels and...

Director Matthew Vaughn and the X-Men: First Class...
After several decent X-Men movies, X-Men: First Class turned out to be a hell of a recast prequel, racking up positive reviews and lots of money at the box office. So it’s not surprising that there will be a sequel, and that director Matthew Vaughn as well as actors Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence have signed on for First Class 2.
An X-Men: First Class sequel would offer Vaughn...
Anonymous asked: Mr. choasguy, did I dream last night about the hot cougar I met the night before? No. I dreamed of a pitcher full of donkey semen, so thank you, ass. Now, the only thing keeping me from putting a bounty on your head so big, that you'll never go near a civilized system again, is that it turned into a game show parody, in which the donkey semen was sprayed at contestants while doing showtunes,...

The idea of self-guided bullets has been around for a while now, and Sandia National Labs out in New Mexico is apparently pretty close to making them reality. Sure, it might take some skill out of sniping, but these guided bullets, capable of hitting a target over a mile away will make US snipers the most amazing god damn snipers ever.
Sandia researchers Red Jones and Brian Kast and their...

But that’s not the only news. According to the above poster that’s been leaked, it looks like CBGB’s will also be a summer music festival and a club. Well that fucking rocks.

Anonymous asked: A friend asked me to recommend a 'nice' movie. A 'nice' movie apparently is one that doesn't have profanity or violence and isn't pornographic but is a good, watchable movie that after watching it you think 'What a *nice* movie!'. Anyway, I found it harder than I thought it would be to recommend anything, and thought about suggesting Apollo 13, which is a...
