The Butterfly Effect – Chaos Ensues

Chaos is perhaps the most overused and misused term in science today. That being said, Gentlemen, we don’t have to understand chaos or the deeper meaning behind the Butterfly Effect. We just have to be aware of- and beware of the problems it can, does, and will cause us in life. 😉

Prehistoric Puke Cannons?

Prehistoric Puke Cannons?

So, whether they used them or not as a defense mechanism, Brachiosauridae had lethal puke cannons! And no, Ladies and Gentlemen; this is, while funny in a sophomoric way, not truly a joke. It’s actually a plate from Dr. Anthony J. Martin’s book, Dinosaurs Without Bones.

And… “Brachiosaurus puke crater!” 😯

The Science-Religion Cycle

While we’ve no evidence that this has happened to Man before – the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1–9) is lore, not evidence – the Science-Religion Cycle both makes sense and is something of a favorite with both futurists and science-fiction writers. Frankly, I find it quite plausible.

Halloween Angler

While I’m not formally a marine biologist, I worked with enough of them and their marine botanist and marine ecologist counterparts to know that this is exactly the sort of Halloween-themed humor they’d love.

Anglerfish – Nature’s Halloween Frights

And, as you can see above, their depiction of a Halloween Angler is a LOT kid-friendlier, and less nightmarish than Nature’s actual creations. 😮

Electricity Explained

Electricity Explained... By Waifus
Electricity Explained… By Waifus

Electricity, insofar as delivering it through a medium is concerned, can be described by Ohm’s Law, which states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, provided all physical conditions and temperatures remain constant.

V = IR | I = V/R | R = V/I

So, Voltage equals the Amperage (I) multiplied by the Resistance/Impedance (R). Hence, Amperage (I) equals the Voltage (V) divided by the conductor’s Resistance/Impedance (R), and Resistance/Impedance (R) equals the Voltage (V) divided by the Amperage (I).

Personally, however, I think the anime girls – waifu’s – provide a better and more easily remembered explanation. 😛
