Surfer dude flabbergasts scientists with new (possible) Holy Grail of physics - Unification Theory:
Like, the universe is one, man...
No, really. I'm not kidding. Seriously. This is not a joke. It even has a name. So does he. Garrett Lisi, and the E8 pattern. Yeah, I know...but at least if this whole physics thing doesn't work out, he's got a cool name for a band.

Wow

My life will never be the same...I have discovered manualism.

Check it out. I suggest starting with the William Tell Overture or the Super Mario Brother's theme.
His name is Jerry Phillips, and his ouvre and info is here. It includes everything from Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror" to Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" to the "William Tell Overture" to Guns 'n Roses "Sweet Child of Mine."
Just amazing.
(In case you're wondering, manualism is playing music with your hands.)

I love random information.
Here are two great articles from one of my favorite sites, Damn Interesting

The first up is titled Amoebic Morality, and is about how single cell organisms can come together and cooperate, even sacrificing themselves for the greater good. Fascinating.

The second is the (true life) story of the origins of Assassins. Almost a thousand years ago, actually.
Have fun reading!

I don't know about you, but to me there's just something inherently wrong with a dolphin sticking you with a hypodermic needle and pumping you full of CO2 so that you die and your body floats to the surface.

Somehow, that's just not right. But, I guess that's better than being killed by a flaming war pig...

Very cool.

This is pretty cool too.
Personal home observatories

Intelligent cat door - or "Flo Control" as they like to call it.

10 Best (Worst?) Animated Movies for (Traumatizing) Kids
Kind of ho-hum till you get to the end (though I agree some of the mentioned movies are not kid flicks (see: Hunchback of Notredame, etc), and Watership Down is kind of violent, but the last one was so funny I nearly fell out of my seat. Wow.

Leave it to Texas...Monster spider web found! - more specifically - "a sprawling spider web that blankets several trees, shrubs and the ground along a 200-yard stretch of trail"

(video here)

Canada also gets in on the giant spiderweb weirdness too. Except they outdid that puny 200-yard stretch, and instead covered 60 acres with web.
