To say that last night’s 8.9 earthquake in Japan was horrifying is an understatement. As news stations around the world show photos and video of the damage, the science and specifics of the quake can get lost in the mayhem. This is Japan’s largest earthquake on record, and the fifth largest in the world since […]

Everyone’s heard the story by now: an abandoned puppy in Oklahoma survived euthanasia and was found alive a day later in a dumpster. Hundreds of people now want to adopt Wall-E, and I understand why. He’s a miracle puppy, twice abandoned, and a cheater of death. It sounds like he’ll find a great home. […]

While studying the concept of reactance in a psychology class this week, I came across this cartoon in my textbook. I can’t stop snickering about it. This is like the “No Zipping The Zip Ties” sign in Archie McPhee’s that always gives me a strong desire to start zipping the zip ties. Must… zip… the […]
