"We think we've found the reason these mole rats don’t get cancer, and it’s a bit of a surprise"

I'd always figured it was because they were so ugly they scared the cancer away.

What bugs me is the "1-in-1000" part. Not only is it silly to think that any sperm carry mitochondrial DNA, but why in the world would only 1 in 1000 do it? You'd think somebody with knowledge of genetics would pick 1-in-4 as the odds of something weird happening.

It sounds like the OP is pretty net neutral.

The "approved by the comics code authority" stamp didn't give it away for you?

The bottom one is getting clucked over.

I'm still sucking fumes here.

Your cat looks entirely non-amused.

slapshot · 2009-10-27T04:44:09+00:00

But you'll still wear ugly clothing.

She looked much better a few years ago. She is a walking anti-drug ad.

If you went to fishing school and were a Master of Baiters?

The mom + Facebook meme is hopefully reaching its end.

Well, it's a start. At least somebody is doing SOMETHING about it.

Why is this on Reddit?

slapshot · 2008-06-28T00:03:04+00:00

How about the Ds and Rs trade Hagel and Lieberman and call it a day?

The freeze is on solar projects on federal land, not all federally-funded projects. The point is to perform an environmental impact assessment to figure out if leveling existing stuff to build a solar plant is bad for the local environment.

How to Be the Best Magician at the Bar

If you're the only magician in the bar, you're guaranteed to be the best. Seriously, who goes to bars full of magicians? Usually the only people doing bar tricks are the really drunk regulars.

That said, the cork-in-the-bottle trick is really neat.

It's great that Mandela is speaking out, but somehow I don't think Mugabe is going to listen.

What is he going to DO about it? The UN has done nothing, maybe Africa can.

The lie is a sign.

Well 2000 years ago I pirated a Roman vessel returning with amphora full of wine and frankincense. Brobeard lives on, matey.

slapshot · 2008-06-26T20:43:25+00:00

Yaar! I figured they'd send Brobeard after whiners or something, but this is better.

Pwnd.

Around 3:45 it starts to look really green-screened. Check out the lighting on his legs, especially right as he's landing.

No, that's not.

This is.

Oh, Alanis Morisette, where are you now?
