An interesting offer from ASPEX
November 10, 2009 2:54 PM – by PZ Myers
I had my doubts about this; I got an offer from ASPEX corporation to let people get free scanning electron micrographs of just about anything. They make a desktop SEM (Scanning Electron Micrograph), and all you have to do is fill out a form and mail it in with your sample of a dead bug or a microchip or bacon, and presto, within a few weeks they’ll have it scanned in and the image available on their website.
I asked them if they knew how many readers I have, and they said no problem, they can handle it.
Huh.
Well, you heard them. Scavenge your trash cans, dig into your local sources of vermin and oddments, and send them in. I’m thinking this could be really fun for any school [...]

Happy Halloween everyone!
I wanted to share some great lolcats with you on my favorite holiday, while warning you of some issues that may have passed below your radar for this All Hallow’s Eve.
Don’t buy candy for today! Halloween is Lucifer’s holy day and the candy in the store has been cursed and filled with demons according to Charisma Magazine. Kimberly Daniels wantonly tells us about the horrors of this most satanic day of the year.
I know, it’s probably too late for you. You already bought your Halloween candy weeks ago. My suggestion is to eat all of the candy in one sitting while praising Lucifer as you unwrap each blasphemous piece of chocolaty evilness. If you can’t light a bonfire to dance around naked in your front yard, light a candle and roast marshmallows over it. That will suffice.
Don’t give the candy [...]

You probably have to be American to get the joke in the title. Do other countries have Life cereal? I have no idea. That’s a phrase of my husband Butch’s anyway. I personally think the original Life cereal is the best, not the fancy versions that they also make, like cinnamon, chocolate oat crunch, etc.
Anyhoo, this is a roundup post in which I cover several topics that are tenuously connected at best. Here’s what I’m rambling on about:
- I’m a citizen scientist now! WOOT!
- Encyclopedia of Life!
- My Flickr
- Moving the body affects how we think – a study
- Prayer and meditation may reshape the brain – a study
First, I want to talk about a ScienceDaily report: Massive Online ‘Macroscopic Observatory’ Of Earth’s Biodiversity To Be Created. “Wanted (soon): observations from environment-minded citizens [...]

I have a bad cold. I’ve been sick for a week and I don’t feel like I’m that much better. Now I’ve lost my voice (my husband doesn’t seem upset by that for some reason.. LOL). And to make matters worse, I am just really tired and can’t think of anything clever for you. Don’t worry. I’ll think of something soon. But just so you don’t feel forgotten or neglected, Lolcat is filling in for me.
“Science flies you to the moon. Religion flies you into buildings.” I love this bus slogan. It’s brilliant. This is my favorite so far.

“That’s right sweetheart; dreams and goals are satan’s way of distracting you from making dinner.” My comments all involve swearing so I’ll just let it stand as is.

oh JESUS! This is just too freaking much, this cake. I had to [...]

From the Telegraph: Emergency forces rescued a man from his car which he crashed into a church roof in Limbach-Oberfrohna, Germany. The 23 year-old was severely injured. According to the police the driver missed a turn at high speed, continued straight ahead on a slightly rising field and then finally ‘took off’ to land in the church roof seven metres above the ground.
Of course, we all hope the kid is ok. But sobriety aside, this is too funny. I guess god wasn’t paying attention? Or maybe Zeus wanted to up the ante in the card game they were all playing in heaven? I wonder if the poor kid said ‘Oh god’ as he saw the church looming in his vision? At any rate, this is proof once again that physics is both amazing and awesome. I’d say it might also reinforce the fact that there’s [...]
